Irish Words and Phrases We Still Use Every Day

I thought I'd do a video on Irish Words and Phrases We Still Use Every Day with the pronunciation and meanings. These are Irish words we learn from Junior infants in school and have made their way into English sentences.

Some words incluse craic, geansaí, slán and Sláinte

I have a bit of a story of Irish in reverse if you will. My Leitrim uncle never said hello or good day or good morning. He always said “God be with you!”. I chalked it up to an elderly man using phrases from his youth. That is, until I took my first Irish class and the first phrase I learned was “Dia dhuit!”, loosely translated as “God be with you!” Love it.

I speak Scottish Gaelic and it's amazing to see that some words are practically identical, with a slight change in pronunciation, but some words are completely different. Mòran taing.

Irish is my language. I like this video about the words I hear in English in Ireland. Tá sé seo thar cionn uilig agus is maith liom an bealach a thaispeánann tú na focla difriúla i mbéarla na hÉireann a thagann ón nGaeilge.

My mother was Welsh and my father from Wexford and, even though I live in and grew up in Australia, I use so many of those words all the time. I guess because they were the words I grew up with. I just thought everyone used them. Now I understand why half the people I talk to don't understand what I am talking about. Wonderful video. So well delivered and explained.

I'm a Brit I used to live in Eire and my kids are Irish from Co. Wexford. I loved this vid. Granted a lot of the words/phrases I didn't know but I will still use bainne, madra, slán, slán lat, slán abhaile, sláinte, craic, siúcra, geansaí. Now that I'm back in Wales I quite often get funny looks. My daughter uses a few more and I'm happy to say that I still understand. I also still use some colours, but here in Wales glas = blue. Confusing! Go raibh maith agat

I love this! My husband is from Cork and he says plamas ALL the time. He taught me so many phrases, but gra mo chroi is my favorite. Keep up the great work!

[paulacurran]

Love your presentation, clear, concise yet complete. Bualadh bos!

Love this! I’ve been slowly learning Irish using Duolingo and I was so excited when I’d see words I know. Your pronunciation help and explanations are much better than the Duolingo app! Bfhuil in particular is hard to see and then pronounce. My brain wants it to be something like bue fill. Ha!

[edwardthomas]

Long live the beautiful Irish language and let us never miss any opportunity to mention the free app Duolingo Irish, especially for all would be foreign learners

[RUBYLUD]

My mother and grandparents used words I never hear now, like Pokey sool or stukawn. Love to know the origins. My folks were Cork and Kilkenny.

[courtneyadams]

OMG, thank you! Finally…someone who makes learning Irish possible for an adult American! Your phonetic spelling of the words, and your realistic approach (how to use, when to use, combining Irish & English) is so helpful! I subscribed to your channel immediately after watching this!

[thomasapplewhite]

Outstanding! You are a delightful teacher. Interesting how cultures intermingle over time.

I lived in Kerry for a number of years and picked a few Irish words while I was living there. I even started studying Irish, but gave up after a few lessons because it was very difficult. The fact that even the locals in Co. Kerry did not speak this beautiful language (only a few smatterings they're taught in school) discouraged me a little, since I had nobody to practice with. In fact, if you really wanted to hear spoken Irish, you had to go to one of the "Gaeltacht", which the closest one to where I lived was in the Dingle Peninsula. Pity... Now that I am back in my home country, I try to learn new words and brush up on my Irish this way. Thank you for your highly valuable lessons, Wolfe Momma.

Siúcra is my favorite word now! I love it!

[moonprincesslizzy]

Loved this video! Very insightful, and love the thoroughness to each word. Lookin forward to more insight on living in 🇮🇪! I want to visit 😀.

[RickyMacHatton]

Since I’ve started learning Irish it’s the pronunciation I’ve struggled with most. This video has helped out hugely

I'm a Yank from an Irish family in an Irish neighborhood of San Francisco and I didn't know that the rest of the American world didn't say geansai until I was in my 20s.
