"Give out" is one that surprises Irish people a lot (it certainly did for me). The reason we say this is because of "tabhairt amach" from Irish, which is literally "to-give out", as the most common way to say [you know what - can't give it all away or people won't watch the video!]
True. There are so many other terms I can think of: "Your man"/ "Your wan" (That man, That woman) Putting "hye" (Cavan, Meath, Louth, Monaghan) or "boy" (Cork) at the end of nearly every sentence Starting a sentence with "Ah sure look" "Yawn boy" (That boy) "T'is some craic hye" (It's a lot of fun)
I am Indonesian, but I teach English. I fancy learning new languages. For sure, I'm chuffed to bits by your videos. These Irish slang words are so unique.
In the UK, to give out can mean to kiss. So my sister while studying over there said her teacher gave out to her, meaning like in the video, which caused shocked reactions from her classmates.
I’m from the Florida panhandle. When people there, especially older people, say “to give out” they mean done. Like “I’ve been in the field today and I’m gave out.” Or “that ketchup is about give out”. Or “my car is about to give out. I should take it in to get seen about.” Your car is about to be broken down so you need to have it serviced.
God some of your slang look like some slang of French-canadien like I'm after - j't'ai après-, it's deadly, c'tait mortelle, or dear for cher (expensive.) 😂 you have an influence on us 😂😂
i was so confused when bold came up, I just presumed it was a rare slang i had never heard, because i thought being naughty(i hate using that word ew) was the dictionary definition and that being daring was international slang also giving out, WTF HOW IS THAT JUST US, I don't even know how to explain it in words because complaining is just not quite right
My grandfathers Irish and he uses “after” as an emphasis or when something has gone beyond, like “your hair’s after getting very long”, “the car’s after getting dirty”
I live in Mexicfo City, I am Mexican I have already told you . I am watching the Irish Slango video and I like it. Other thing, you are alike to my son who lives in Atlanta, GA. USA he iis 35 and he speaks English very well he assists people all over the USA on line. I have never been to the States nor to England or any other English Speaking country but as I always liked the language I think I speak it correctly. Unfortunately I have not enough resources to travel and learn Irish, for example. I thought they would be some kind of Celtic Words but they are English words. There is an English programa entitled: Horrible Stories and there they give some words inherited from Vikings, Celts, French, etc. Have you seen it? My best wishes!
It's because it's a translation from the Irish, that even monolingual English speakers from Ireland aren't aware of "Tá mé tar eis..." - in other English dialects you would say "I've just" instead.
haha i never really thought about how weird some of these sayings are . they are just everyday language here . i also never realised how many of these are unique to ireland
I'm Irish I haven't lived there in years, and these words do not have the same meaning to me. For instance. My time in New York was deadly. I would take that to mean that My time in New York was difficult. My definition of Grand would mean Magnificent or Imposing. The other words gas, dear. I don't know them in this definition. The only one familiar to me was bold. Probably because its been used forever.

Without finishing words in sentences.. Or made shorter in once ...😂 Its hard for people from outside to Understand Irish English :) but I love that country them people and that language :) its easy for me now 😉
i grew up in Liverpool UK (warmly regarded as the capital of Ireland) we have a lot of the same slang; that was interesting x I am in Australia now and we share some of the same slang here too.
@@nancyflynn4755 im also from liverpool and I've had Irish people say things like 'ah, east Dublin!' which I take as an affectionate and jokey reference to the cultural/linguistic etc influence Ireland has had on the city which a lot of scousers are proud of. I can see why it's thoughtless/offensive to say it's regarded as the capital of Ireland though. Love and peace.
Whoa. Well, at least Thomas Frank could likely defend himself if Neil deGrasse Tyson tried to rape him like Tyson did Tchiya Amet or Ashley Watson or Katelyn Allers, etc.
Benny Lewis that's true! 😊 by the way, do you think "well" would also fit into your category of Irish slang? As in "well, Sean, what's up?"... I feel like it may come from the Irish "bhuel" as in "Bhuel, Shean, conas a ta tu?" (Accents missing from the Irish sentence!)
I’m in the US and I knew it but it sounds to me as something old-fashioned or a bit posh. I feel like I’ve heard or sung it in a song. I know I’ve heard it, but definitely it isn’t commonly used here.
Ouch! Benny! I used to have two Irish friends (sisters) but I haven´t heard from them long ago, I am sorry! So, I am delighted with your approaching Irish Slang but I see they are common English words what changes is the idea, isn´t it? I am going to copy all these words. I live in Mexico
