Hello and thank you for sharing this video of basic phrases in the traditional Irish language, with the scenic coastal background to go with it. Stay blessed and be well 🙂👍🏼
My great great grandad was an Irish convict, transported to Australia in the 1830s. He was born and raised in Castlemaine, County Kerry - so not far at all from Dingle. I found it fascinating that to say thank you in Irish, translates as 'Good be on you.' Here in Australia, it is very common for Aussies to say 'Good on you' to thank someone, or to praise someone who has done something well. Sometimes it is even shortened to - 'On ya!' It is obviously derived from the Irish phrase - and it just goes to show how powerful the Irish influence was, due to the thousands of Irish convicts, in the growth of the Aussie dialect and accent. Good on ya, Matthew!
Go raibh maith agat! Actually, I'm Russian, but in childhood my mother showed me the Riverdance show and I immediately fell in love with Ireland. Several months ago I learned a few songs and now I try to learn Irish in Duolingo, but sometimes it seems to me that some words are mispronounced, so I was glad to hear a native Irish person speaking them❤
If you are interested in irish still i would suggest read basic books and listen to media etc and get a basic grammar book then once your confident build the vocab and level of book you read. and try immerse yourself as much as possible
Great video great sound and nice landscape , it's great ! I started learning and already new some of the words but not all of them, and for "how are you" it was great to have the different way to say it.
Thank you for your videos. I work as a barback at a sports bar in County Sutter in Northern California and I've recently met an Irishman who has moved to this area. I've learned the basic greetings thanks to your videos but I'd like to take it a step further and learn more bar and restaurant type phrases such as, "What can I get you to drink?" (even though I know he's going to order a Guiness. Also, "Are you ready for another Guiness?" "Would you like to see a menu?" "Are you ready to order?" "How is everything?" "Can I get you anything". And other things you might hear in an Irish bar that you might not hear in an American bar... Go raibh maith agat.
Thank you for these videos (go raibh maith agat). I am trying to learn Irish on Duolingo. I’ve learned 125 words and phrases in just two weeks! I could order briosca agus cupán tae if I were in An Ghaeltacht (instead of California). Tara is ainm dom agus is múinteoir mé. Labhraím Béarla agus Fraincis (je suis prof de français). The hard part is the pronunciation! The computerized voices on the app don’t sound consistent, so I have no confidence that I am speaking correctly. We need more of these videos to help us hear basic phrases spoken by a live person. I’m not ready to listen to Irish TV or radio yet. I got to visit Dublin last year, and I can’t wait to go back to Ireland. I want to visit Cork and Kerry next. They look lovely, and I found all the Irish people I met to be so genuinely helpful and charming! Please share more of your wonderful country with us.
part of the attraction of Irish for a lot of people, like me, is that it comes from a distant past, or seems to, and seems to reflect something lost, magical, mystical and good, that we can access by learning and speaking it. We don't want to say "where's the toilet" in Irish, but rather "the mists settled over the black majestic massiveness of the islands, resting like currachs in the eternal swell". What do you think, for me is Irish is associated with songs and stories, and i have trouble ordering a hamburger in it
New sub thanks to this video! Beautiful backdrop, and extremely clear pronunciation. Thank you for providing region variations as well! The graphics are crystal clear and look amazing on that beautiful water. My wife and I are planning to move to Ireland, where her family lives, within the next few years. These videos will really help me with learning to correctly pronounce Gaeilge. Go raibh maith agat!
so i am watching "the sum of all fears" right now and i wanted to know who one of the actors (Ciarán Hinds) was - then i thought, what a weird/unique name, then it continued with aoife, bronagh, caitriona and i checked some more about the irish language which lead me into like an hour long rabbit hole now i always thought that you speak "normal" english in ireland, i read some reddit posts that explained it, but when your mother language also isnt english it gets quite challenging to understand everything, or actually anything at all :D (talking about the explanations itself, not even gonna bother to understand something spoken) really interesting!
I love this video please do some more, I am a new subscriber attempting to learn Irish. My grandfather was 100 percent from Ireland. Last name Neary (Americanized obviously) I believe we are from Tyrone Co. THANK YOU for the video, I look forward to seeing more from you. Would love love love to visit Ireland someday. My parents went in the 80's to meet relatives and loved it. I also love the scenery with the boats in the background, very familiar as I grew up and now live in Santa Barbara California.
Thank you Paula. I really appreciate your comment 😃. I plan to do more. It’s great to get feedback. It really motivates me. That’s fantastic that you’re trying to learn Irish. It means so much to people who speak Irish that there are others who are interested. I hope you get to visit Ireland. You should definitely visit if you get a chance. And look up those relatives. I have 2nd cousins living in the USA and I remember as a child when they visited. They were amazed at a cow looking in to our kitchen window as we ate breakfast - a daily occurrence in rural Ireland, but not in Queens in New York! 🤣 The background is Dingle in County Kerry in the south of Ireland. It is as gorgeous as it looks in the video.
Neary is an anglicised version of Ó Náradhaigh. It is from north connacht which isnt very far off Ulster so you could be right about the Tyrone origins
Thanks so much. I am trying to learn Irish. My father's parents were Irish. I am using the app Duolingo. The grammar is difficult for me. I practice every day. I downloaded RTE radio one to listen to the language. I found it in the playstore. I l look forward to your next video. I am Canadian and I am very proud to be descended from Irish people. Thanks again.
Thanks Diane. Well done learning it on Duolingo. It takes of effort to get your head around the grammar - word structure, tenses, masculine, feminine etc. But don’t let that stop you. It’s a beautiful language and will connect you with your ancestors. TG 4 (the irish language TV station) is a good resource. They do some awesome documentaries and you can watch with English subtitles. I assume its available in Canada. Best of luck with your continued study. Maybe come to Ireland sometime and take an Irish course ☘️☘️😀
Hello Matt. Keep making videos please. It is so good,.and I am one of those just initial journey learning Irish. Slanté. Go raibh maith agat. 🏆🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇🥇👍
hello! this video was posted a while ago, but i have a question about the pronunciation of 'dia dhuit.' my father from cork pronounces it like 'dia gwitch', but in this video it sounds like 'dia gitch'. is this something that varies by region as well? thanks
Thank you for the video Matthew. We were in Ireland last week. I think Dingle is one of our favorite towns to visit along with Killarney. Slea head drive is beautiful. The entire county Kerry is to be honest. I’ve been interested in learning irish and need to buckle down and get on it.
Thanks Craig. Dingle and Kerry is truly amazing. That is great that you have an interest in Irish. Maybe try Duolingo to begin learning. There is also the Irish language TV station - TG4. I don’t know if it is available outside of Ireland, but they do excellent programmes and they are all subtitled in English. So by watching this, you will get to hear Irish.
My father remembered hearing the old people saying on celebratory occasions "go mbeirimid beo ag an am seo arís" which approximately means "may we be alive this time next year" which I think nicely reflects the Irish attitude to life.
Hello Irish Matthew! If i was to write the phrase Ghra mo chroi, do i need to put an "A" in front of it? Or is it just for pronunciation? Thankyou from Australia 🇦🇺
I am not sure Annette. I would instinctively say “a ghrá mo chroí” if you are talking to someone. The use of ‘a’ before a name is the vocative case - you use the vocative case when you are calling someone eg - “you’re welcome Seán” = tá fáilte romhat, a Sheáin”. But I am not an Irish teacher or a native speaker.
Yeah, more or less. It’s just like different accents in English - someone from America will use different words and expressions to someone from Scotland, but usually both can understand each other with a little bit of patience and understanding.

If I was in Galway and I said "Conas áta tú" instead of "Cén chaoi a bhfuil tú" would that be wrong or just the wrong dialect and does it matter a lot? go raibh maith agat :)
No. I would not make any difference if you said “conas atá tú” in Galway. They would be just delighted to hear you speak Irish. Let me know how you get on :-)
Hi Camilla, conas atá tú? Greetings from Ireland. I see your Irish is good 😊. It’s a lovely language. I loved it when in school. Wish you a great day, slán go fól 👍🙏😊☘️ Michael
Pfhahahah… slainte in bulgarian sounds like “slonche” which means a little elephant😂 Which is good actually for “cheers” -maybe it means that u gonna drink like a little elephant😂
God are atheists this thick. I just a way of saying farewell. Religion origin of the word doesn't mean anything if it isn't used that way. Words have meanings based on usage.

You’ll never beat the Irish lads let’s work together to save the children and end the suffering of the world
Unless your learning a popular teanga, Duolingo is for the most part something to help carry you on the daily, not the be all end all.
Always felt a strong connection with Irish music and Russian - especially , I dont know WHY,, Cossacks rhythms.
Thank you.

I'm ukranian but I very much like Irish language. It beautiful
Great video great sound and nice landscape , it's great ! I started learning and already new some of the words but not all of them, and for "how are you" it was great to have the different way to say it.
Thank you. Excellent sound with the microphone
This would be a great language to use when communicating during a war. Much like the navajo windtalkers.
Let's hope it doesn't come to that - but Starmer might be rallying the troops and ready to put on his Cromwellian helmet
In Montenegro we also have a very similar hello and response. We say "God is helping" and "God help you".
Coming from California to Ireland in June! I think I will practice these phrases this month ahead of time! Thanks!

That’s fantastic Santos. I am very happy that you found the video useful. I will consider doing a video with those phrases.
What a wonderful language!
Please continue your content and I will try my best to learn what my poor mind can. Now if I can learn the proper pronunciation of my last name !
great video Pad!!!

I can't help but think that it sounds like the language of the Sims. Which is really cool, to be honest. I just can't unhear it.
For a Portuguese speaker Irish is almost impossible to pronounce but it was really nice watching this video. :)

Our trip to Ireland will be soon. I really appreciate the lesson. Go raibh maith agat!
My grandfather was from Dingle. It was so good to see even a tiny view of it. I’m an old man now, but I still hope I might visit Ireland some day.
I hope you get to visit sometime Bill. Dingle is truly magical.
My brother and his gf went down to Dingle for a week over the summer
Thank you!
Thanks for the lesson ! Greetings from France, I'll visit Emerald Isle next week!
😀🇮🇪🍀
we really need a separate video on those usually-silent di/trigraphs as they make pronunciation very challenging
Beautiful guest appearance by the bird at :54, and 1:16
Great video! Keep these coming! 🇮🇪
I enjoyed this, very instructive, Go raibh maith agat. ❤
Thanks Matthew for the effort. I love the Irish culture and learning a bit helps
Thanks Mahasona
Bello il video vlog ❤
Aspettando il prossimo 😊
Thanks a great start. I'd picked up "Slance" for pubs and new Irish friends. I thought it meant "Good health", but if it's just "health" then fine ! 😊
so i am watching "the sum of all fears" right now and i wanted to know who one of the actors (Ciarán Hinds) was - then i thought, what a weird/unique name, then it continued with aoife, bronagh, caitriona and i checked some more about the irish language which lead me into like an hour long rabbit hole now
i always thought that you speak "normal" english in ireland, i read some reddit posts that explained it, but when your mother language also isnt english it gets quite challenging to understand everything, or actually anything at all :D (talking about the explanations itself, not even gonna bother to understand something spoken)
really interesting!

Total Love from India 🟠⚪🟢 but couldn't help think if I mess up the pronunciation I'll be dead ! :D 🟢⚪🟠

🏆🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇🥇👍
Go raibh maith agat a Zulkifi 😀
Great vid. Much love from mcr.
Im attempting to learn irish since a irish friend inspired me its quite interesting compared to other European languages
Yeah, it is like a secret language that only a few people know.
Go watch the film “An Cailín Ciúin”. It has beautiful Irish. It was recently nominated for an Oscar.
The main difference is it's a VSO language, unlike most European languages.
Excuse me, can you tell me why you don't make the consonants narrow, and pronounce ti and di as ch and j?
Is this a dialect feature?
Thank you =)
hello! this video was posted a while ago, but i have a question about the pronunciation of 'dia dhuit.' my father from cork pronounces it like 'dia gwitch', but in this video it sounds like 'dia gitch'. is this something that varies by region as well? thanks
❤😊
I have been to Dingle
Excellent !! Go raibh míle maith agat ! ❤️
Tá fáilte romhat 😃
I am not Irish at all but when I read Irish fairytales - I understood that I love irish people.
Thank you. Irish mythology has much depth and beauty. It’s part of the landscape and the people. I hope generations to come will appreciate it.

Thanks. I like that. Another celebratory expression that I like is “gob fliuch is bás in Éirinn” - a wet mouth and that we may die in Ireland.
Ana dheas ar fad, sìmplì, solèir agus thìos im bhaile fhèin, ❤️ An Ghaeilge
What a beautiful language. Why they didnt speak in it?

I didn't even know there was an Irish language until I saw the option on Duolingo.....and Im Irish Choctaw lol😅
Regretfully 99% never go beyond basic phrases. Just because irish is extremely difficult.
@@mitztli kind of like the Navajo
I am assuming that all variations of expressions can be understood throughout the country...
Yeah, more or less. It’s just like different accents in English - someone from America will use different words and expressions to someone from Scotland, but usually both can understand each other with a little bit of patience and understanding.

Just gotta work on that "ulster" accent Matt... close but bit of practice needed :-)
Aye. Maybe Ill have to venture up North sometime
I live in Ulster and we pronounce it dia ditch
I know. I love listening to the ulster dialect on Radio Na Gaeltacht.
Well good video I'll be watching more of you, I'm ashamed of myself for not knowing Irish as an Irishman so I've made a mission to learn fluent
@@Aidansands2 Just read the comment. Curious on how its going for ya, a chara
I know "doonshe" means "very small". Can you tell me origin of this word please.
Hi Tony. I’ve never heard of this word and I’ve no idea where it is from / its origin 😕
Where did you hear it?
I thought it was an-beag
Just taught some of this to Chinese kindergarteners.
Ah, that is so cute. Thank you. Some more “yu ming is ainm dom” in 20 years time 😂
Irish language seems euskera

Matthew i cannot reach you on your email. It bounces back. Thanks. D Coghlan
Go raibh maith agat.
Tá fáilte romhat a Deanne.
It seams what you said is not the same of the writting sentences
It’s probably because Irish is pronounced differently than in English. Irish pronunciation is relatively straightforward once you get the hang of it.
Another great video ruined by unnecessary and loud background music.
Noted
The music is fine, it's not loud at all
Irish is so confusing. The words dont sound anything like how theyre spelled.
And English does?
It’s actually pretty phonetically consistent compared to English, you just don’t have exposure
Are you single? 😍
Bro is speaking Simlish
Pfhahahah… slainte in bulgarian sounds like “slonche” which means a little elephant😂
Which is good actually for “cheers” -maybe it means that u gonna drink like a little elephant😂
Do we really not have any secular way to say hello?
Really?
Haigh
It’s not all that different than saying “goodbye” in Spanish. What does “ Adios” translate into in Spanish? 😀
God are atheists this thick. I just a way of saying farewell. Religion origin of the word doesn't mean anything if it isn't used that way. Words have meanings based on usage.
