Im one of those 2nd generation Irish kids that grew up in the UK, I had to go to the shops with my Mother to translate, long time ago. I speak a couple of european languages, Sometimes the English find the use of Irish English a bit... odd. I have often tried to explain it this way. The Irish speak English like the French speak French, ie, It is far more poetic and descriptive than standard English and stems from the Irish language." The car was not happy to start" made me smile. I get back when I can and head out west, drop into a pub or the like in the hope of bumping into some old timer, just to hear the language of my childhood. Great videos, good luck.
Dia dhuit Dane! Really a great video,I learned a lot of new and interesting vocabulary! I really liked learning synonyms ! Thaitin sé go mór liom comhchiallaigh a fhoghlaim! Míle Buíochas agus slán tamall!
Hi there, one of the things that is both frustrating and wonderful at the same time about learning Irish is having to think about and remembering different ways of saying the same thing. Mar shampla..."Keep your phone close by" literally translated is "Keep your phone under your arm"! Every language has "turns of phrase" and I find it fascinating but difficult as I have never learned another language before (and I'm 62!!)
Dia dhuit Dane! I really loved your video! It's an outstanding video coz you taught us a lot of synonyms! Is físeán den scoth é mar mhúin tú a lán comhchiallaigh dúinn! Go raibh míle maith agat agus slán tamall!
Thanks Dane. I suppose the difference in usage depends on what part of the country you`re in. I´ve used a lot of your videos to help me have more confidence in the language. I really do appreciate what you are doing. Thanks very much. Slàn go fóil and do look after yourself a chara.

You sound like a good soul, may luck be upon you.
Thanks for making these videos! I am going to start today from the first one. 🙌
Good luck, small regular steps will be best and keep your expectations realistic.

You don't have to learn all the ways of saying something as that wouldn't be practical, just focus on one or two. It's no different in English.
Very good video Dane,it's very useful to know it.
Information is power, stay safe

Good stuff sir
Thank you
looking at the last sentence duolingo uses the word 'tine' for fire and not doitean. that might be another example :)
Yes there's lots of examples like that, plenty of material for another video like this one.
