Is the Irish language really very different from English? (Yes it is!) 

Rwy'n cytuno!

@@malleyman Diolch yn fawr.

That's one of the most popular Irish expressions! :)

How do you say it?

Thanks very much Erica. And great use of 'deadly'! :) I'll put up more ones on Irish English in the next few weeks.

So I guess it kinda lost meaning in translation haha

@@CriticalofOnionsnot all cops are bad

@@Jess1366-cg5qxits not down to individuals its systemic problems, but also the role does tend to attract a certain kind of person, which is why you hear about a lot of pigs abusing power

Can you cite a source for this etymology?

Mná is related to English queen and Greek gyne, as in gynecologist. Ancient root is *gwén = woman. We’re all related.

Very interesting. I didn't know that.

@@robw0127 and penghripusch comes from ibero-punic "aggút", maybe related to "gwén"

Mná means women plural lol. Bean (bahn) would be the singular

An-fíor

have you heard the storues about the Egyptian princess who is said to have brought the red hair? very interesting story.... Robert Sepehr did a nice video, not extensive but still better than most :)

​@@Sunshine_Daydream222red hair Prince too.

In english the word for irish lanuage it is irish. But gaelic football under gaa the gaelic athletic association. I cannot comment on the Scottish lanuage which may be called Scots gaelic. In irish lanuage the word id Gaelige. If a guy says he plays gaelic as opposed to soccer or rugby he means gaelic football or hurling. Eamon who I think is American had a very good viedo showing the pace of gaelic football or hurling an amateur game.

@@helenahanley thank you

@@aarionlynch Gaelic is the family branch name for Goidelic languages such as Irish (Gaeilge) Scottish gaelic and manx. The other branch would would be Brittonic family which would be Welsh, Cornish and Breton. They are all under the name Celtic languages

Mad? In what way exactly?

for whose liking? yours?

irish is older than english 💀

@@ethanbrady8041 Yes but modern Irish is borrowing words too much from English.

@@jedhawkins1769 around 80% of english words are borrowed from other languages, its not uncommon for languages to borrow from other languages English has a good few words borrowed from irish as well

True. Well for the standard language anyway. But a good 80% of the language comes from Old Irish and some Norse like Bád

'Slainte' (cheers!) is usually one of the first words people learn.
