WHAT ARE IRISH PEOPLE LIKE? | LIVING IN IRELAND

There are many ways to describe an Irish person, so here are some common traits that show what Irish people are like.

There are traits among the nation that make Irish people so proud and so nostalgic when they are abroad, especially somewhere that may be quite different from home. For centuries, Irish people have brought their culture to other parts of the world and kept the heritage alive, which is what makes the world so welcoming of Irish people these days.

Irish people certainly have a lot to say for themselves, that’s for sure, but they have plenty more traits in common besides this.
So, what are Irish people like? Here are some common traits you’ll have to agree with. Or not? Tell me in comments section!

I hope you enjoy watching it. Have a nice day and I will se you in the next one!

I was raised in the US by an Irish Mum and I’ve returned to the only “home” mentioned in our home after nearly 60 years in the US. I love the weather here. I love the rain. I’ve always loved the rain. The sun is too tiring after a while.

I think the "Irish goodbye" is more to do with if you start saying goodbye to one and then another, it'll take 30 mins to actually leave and someone will try and convince you to stay for another drink. Then you are still there 1hr later.

As an Irishman abroad, you hit the nail on the head.

After almost 3 years in Ireland I can agree 100%. Irish people and weather is a love story like no other. And it rubs off on you and suddenly you are talking about the weather too haha

[jamesconnolly]

That was a great word you used " spontaneity". A lot of English speaking people wouldn't even have used that word. As a Northern Irishman I thought all your points were spot on. You will never be made to feel more welcome than a traditional Irish pub with proper music and a nice roaring fire on a cold winters night. Oh yeah and we aren't that keen on the English until we get to know them and their views ha ha.

On a motorcycle trip a few years ago we ended up south of trieste..was a small kiosk on the side of the road, turned out to be the Croatian border...I handed the customs guy our passports and he leand out and shook my hand with a smile, welcome to Croatia 🇭🇷...was in 1996..I've always remembered that trip as one of the friendliest I've ever done...no wonder u understand us irish...we are the same..only different 😀

Great videos, thanks :) I loved reading all the comments about "the Irish goodbye." I hadn't realised this was a particularly Irish thing, I thought everyone hated goodbyes. But it's definitely always been my experience. It hurts to say goodbye, even if it's just to a stranger. I don't think it can be removed from our history, millions of people left the country during the famine, and leaving Ireland for a better future somewhere else has now become part of the culture. Goodbyes are a painful reminder of a hard history. Saying goodbye to my grandmother was always the hardest, we would pretend we were going to see each other again before I actually left the country, but truly knew we wouldn't as I'd be leaving the next morning. After finally making my way out the door I'd eventually say "I'll see you soon granny" and she'd say "please god."

What are Irish people like? They are humorous. And always have a lot to talk about. Never run out of stuff to talk about. And they like to party. Irish > 👍 Irish 🇮🇪

I'm born and raised in NYC by Irish parents. I'm 50 years old. The area of NYC that I lived had many, many Irish families. And I never heard of the Irish Goodbye until recently. In fact no one that I'm related to either in Ireland has ever heard of it. I believe it's quite the opposite, they won't shut up and go home! Lol. They want to stay and party and drink all night usually.

You learn pretty quickly that if you say goodbye on a night out then you never get to actually leave. You will still be there 2 hours later because people wont let you go home. You have to pick the right time and make your escape. It's usually done when out with a group as opposed to a small gathering.

Like our weather we are the perfect balance between misery & humour.
Love and kindest of regards from Ireland

Even on the phone we say bye bye bye bye bye, oh one more thing…. This is how it is with me and my family 🤣🤣. You got everything spot on there, thanks so much. I’d love to visit Croatia some day, it looks stunning.

They are like most people, but just a bit better.

[tomjohnston]

The reason people disappear without saying goodbye is because everyone you say goodbye to will try and persuade you to stay, "Aw, come on, have one more drink", "But I've just bought you a drink", "Sure we haven't had a chat yet", "But the band are just about to start". If you tell people you're leaving, there's a good chance you won't be leaving.

Spontaneity. Like that trait. Welcoming, social and funny.

I'm thinking of relocating to Ireland and this makes me feel I will fit right in :)

[dermodsmyth]

47 right now but in my earlier days, I remember my own reason for leaving any party unannounced was the sudden realisation I'd reached my limit and needed to get home to my bed before I embarrassed myself!

[patman]

I think a lot of our sense of humour is actually linked to the weather. Because it rains quite a lot, it means we spend a lot more time indoors stuck with other people so you need to get on and a sense of humour really helps

i know of one Irishman who would bring an extra coat to facilitate his "Irish goodbye". He would hang the one he was wearing on the back of his chair. When he left the event, he would put on his spare coat and no one would think he'd left because the original was still hanging on his chair.😁
