Best explanation of an Irish poem ever. I'm ready for another poem in time. I will do my best to learn it by heart and maybe set it to music.

Ive got a rubbish Irish teacher and im in 3rd year, thank you so much for helping me understand this poem!

Your explanation of prepositions was great and reminded me of the Breastplate of St. Patrick. Christ before me, Christ beside me etc., I would love to hear that in Irish.

I’ve got a huge Irish exam tomorrow and no one in my class could find this poem or notes on it in their handouts. Thank you so much for this video, you just saved an entire Irish class!

since i discovered great grandparents came here in potato famine really inspired me feel i have a undeveloped part of my brain thats Irish Gaelic . love this poem fantastic

Beautiful poem, very well translated. Reminds me of the beautiful foggy October nights we used to travel home from my grandmother's house after spending the day with her. As a little boy I used to love to see the moon over the mountains "a ritheann romham". She really was "mo chara ar an bhòthar". Thank you so much for bring back so many lovely memories. Go raibh maith agat.

Very good presentation and explanation. The poem is well chosen because it's not too difficult for the learner.

Love the poem and the nature imagery! I was very pleasantly surprised how much made sense and tied back to more familiar words, once you explained the lines so patiently and clearly. Studying in my native U.S., visiting Ireland for my first time this year. I promise to drive very carefully!

I loved your patient explanation of this lovely poem! This is the type of cultural artifact that truly inspires me to dive deeper into Irish language. thank you and I hope you might share similar works

Every new video is like another piece in a giant jigsaw as you reveal the context of each word and phrase. Thank you for this beautiful poem. 😊💚☘

That was fantastic. A great way to learn an gaeilge! More please! Go raibh mîle maith agat for this excellent video.

Love this, thank you!

I just discovered your channel and I am so glad. Although I am not Irish (just of Irish descent) I did have two semesters of Irish in school, but because I had no real opportunity to use it I have lost most of what I learned. But I have been trying to relearn as much as I can and this channel has been incredibly helpful, more than most of the ones I have found so far. I’m actually getting to the point I can figure out the general meaning of some words I haven’t seem before.

Thank you so much for this wonderful video! These types of cultural appreciation with a focus on language inspire me to continue my studies of the beautiful Irish language.

BEAUTIFUL

This was really really good. I’d love to hear more Irish poems.

Thank You Dane! So very beautiful!

This is really cool stuff! I wish there were more poetry/youtubes/videos/music in Irish translated to English (via subs mostly ofc, not in such detail).

is breá linn filíocht as Gaeilge 😍 thar a bheith úsáideach a Dane

Wonderful.

Absolutely loved this! A wonderful poem so well explained!

Ar fheabhas! Bhain mé an-taitneamh as an mhíniú.

This was great, loving your videos as a new learner! Grma

Great video. Very informative and enjoyable. There is just one small thing I would change. I think if it is meant to mean parks "and trees", it should say "is chrainn" and not "is chriann". I believe "chrainn" is the lenited form of "crainn" which means trees. Other than that, I think the video is perfect. 🙂

Go raibh míle maith agat. D'fhoghlaim mé rud éigin arís ☘🇮🇪.

The Moon 🌙 She is the queen of the sky The beauty of the night Secret star, that runs before me My friend on the road On a trip In darkness Her face, now camouflaged in fog Above parks and trees She flies Spreading shadows The country in her arms My beauty/Skywoman/beautiful woman My secret heart The moon 🌙

Dán Éireannach, cool. 😎 Grma uploader

Dear Teacher Dane! 😊 I've been learning Irish Since I found Your Chanel! Really Good Job! I hope to arrive soon, to the Irish Middle Level! I've learning Scottish & Welsh too😮 Gaelic & Gailge😮😊 Is a challenge 😅😂🎉 The 3 languages have Some similar things, but the grammar structure are different! Specially with the alphabeths🤔🤨😏 The expresiones and the completely different pronounciation is "The Quid" For learning better! A good tool is To buy 3 dictionaries English-Irish English-Scottish English-Welsh 😅😊 I'd like to know If it's possible to find a three languages book!!! I've learned English & French at the same time, with a Special book Specially designe for three languages at the same time! Spanish, English & French!!! When I was 17 in High school! Italian & Portuguese later!!! So Could be excelent If there's a 3 languages book in UK!!! Or in An British Library (book store) to buy them!!! Here In México City, i've found Italian - French Italian-English, English-French Dictionaires and some others, to learn MORE fast!!! I designed a personal System to learn 3 languages at the same time! 😮 That's why, when I found Your Chanel I think, this is What I'm looking for!!! 😊 So, thank you for Your time Teacher! Keep on With your Irish Lessons! Bueno, agradezco mucho la oportunidad de haber platicado con usted, acerca del aprendizaje de Las Lenguas Británicas! J'espere que vous-etes Tres bien! Monsieur! Ci vediamo in altro volta Mío caro insegnante!!! Arrivederci!!!

The poem is beautiful. I Echo all the comments. I hope you don't get sick of my questions but what did you say after you finished the poem? You didn't translate it and as you would say, I don't have enough Irish to figure it out. I want to send you one of those very Irish, very elegant, very beautiful hugs. GRMA

❤❤❤❤❤😊

Thank you! Which mythological characters or figures would the Irish or Ireland correlate with?

Físeán iontach, a Dane! is breá liom sean-dánta mar seo a aimsiú a chuidíonn liom staidéar a dhéanamh ar mo chuid Gaeilge, mar tá na focail níos tábhachtaí nuair a thugtar duit ó dhuine seachas nuair a thugtar gaeilge duit i téacsleabhair agus abairtí samplacha. Grma.

Iontach....go raibh maih agat chun na físeán!

Do you know where I can find it in print, or a book of Irish poems in general in Connacht?

Mo chroi rùnda ❤❤

Is breá liom seo go hiomlán! Go raibh míle maith agat !

Isn’t “Sí” in the first line a contraction of “Is í”? There’s an apostrophe missing.

Físeán iontach, agus an-suimúil mar is breá liom dánta. Go raibh maith agat Dane.

why is it v sounds where there isnt one? how to understand this?

Míle buíochas don míniúcháin. Is maith liom go móir an dán sin.

Bhí an gearrscannán thar barr, a chara! Agus bhí an dán seo go hálainn ar fad. Go raibh míle maith agatsa.

Seems very reminiscent of the type of poems that the old Bards would sing for sovereignty godesses/figures, like Macha.

Go halainn! GRMA!

An - deas ar fad a Dhean, Bain mé mórán taitneamh as. GRMMA

Is fear barr thú

Is maith liom do mhíniú tá sé soiléir ach is oth liom a rá go bhfuil bhéim láidir Béarla ag an mbealach a fhuaimníonn tú na focail. Is dócha gurb í seo teanga na todhchaí.

Níos mó mar seo, le do thoil

Dia duit a Dane, dán go hiontach le cúpla focal nua, tá súil agam Beidh mé mo bhaile Inis Eoghain as an Breatain go luath. Pól

You have horrible English accent) But lessons are great

Are there many poems or works of literature in Irish?
