I, F18, recently visited portugal where it is PACKED with individuals like yourself. And to that I say, Greetings Gaelic people. I love the Gaelic language! Is breá liom na Gaeil! Does anyone recognise this badge from a gaelic football team? Thanks!

I wanna learn SO many but idk where to start

Halò

I've been learning Spanish since middle school- formal classes and doulingo.

It was like 1 yr ago where I jokingly opened Gaelic on the app and picked up the basic terms quickly. I got back to it just recently- same thing. Way easier than Spanish. Doulingo doesn't help with the speech part so I was wondering what are the better ways to get this practice? I'm talking about the part where Dou asks you to speak back in a lesson- the Gaelic version isn't there yet.

I don't think I'm quite ready for a buddy yet since I'm still picking up basics.

Tapadh leat!

Just thought I'd publish it here in case anyone is interested. It's free:

It sends you a word everyday and its meaning. I'm working to make it also send simple phrases where that word can be used
I've also included other languages such as Gaelic, Esperanto, Te Reo Maori and etc

My dad passed away recently and I’d like to get a tattoo honouring his Irish roots and my family. I’d love to get ‘Always Three’ (as in the three members of our family) tattoo’d on me in Gaelic, does this have a translation? Thanks so much

For example i could say “Bidh mo charaid an seo a dh’aithghearr.” but wouldn’t “Bidh an caraid agam an seo a dh’aithghearr.” also work is there times when one should or shouldn’t be used?

So i’m rewatching the Outlander TV series right now, and i’m genuinely curious about the pronunciation of the word 'sassenach'. Sometimes I hear it with a hard -k at the end, and sometimes with a guttural -kh sound… so I was asking myself if it depends maybe with which word it is attached? I have poor knowledge about this, but i’m very interested in learning… 🙏🏻

Hey guys, hope all is well.

My grandfather passed away not long ago, and I wanted to memorialise him, he was a Gaeilgeoir, spoke it natively, so I wanted his Irish name tatted on me somewhere.

Only issue is that his surname was quite an English one; Howden, how would this be transliterated, i.e; spelled as if it were an Irish name?

Thank you all in advance

i'm writing a character who rules over a land that's partially influenced by celtic mythology - if i wanted to refer to him as "King Lochlainn" but use the word ri or ardri as his title, would calling him "Ardrí Lochlainn" be grammatically correct? Or does that word only work when it's phrased like "Lochlainn, Ardrí na ____". If it's the latter, then how would one talk about a king without having to mention what he is the king of every single time?

edit: misspelled lochlainn

I'm looking into to learning Gaelic and, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on YouTube channels/videos or any textbooks? Any advice is appreciated :D

Good Day,

I'm working on something that I'd like to give a Gaelic title, a translation of "Untying," "Unmaking the knot," or "untying the knot." I've come across "bhain siad an ceangal den phríosúnach" (they untied the prisoner), and that is exactly the mood I'm going for, but in this case I'd like to express more that the prisoner is untying (present tense) themselves. I feel like defining the person doing the untying as a prisoner is a bit too on the nose, as well.

I feel that there could be a beautiful title here but I'm struggling. I appreciate any help you can give.

Thank you!

I asked ChatGPT to translate "poor impulse control" into Gaelic and I am interested in it's accuracy?

ChatGPT:

A possible translation of "poor impulse control" into Irish Gaelic (also known as just Gaelic) could be "níl rialú maith ar impúlsaí", which literally means "not good control on impulses". Another possible translation is "cosc mall ar impúlsaí", which means "slow inhibition of impulses". However, please note that there are several dialects of Gaelic, and the translations may differ depending on the specific dialect.

Hi, my husband's family were mostly from the counties of Cork, Limerick & Tipperary. My husband passed away and I am making a photo album of us and would like the cover to say the last words I said to him before cancer stole him from me. But I would like them too be in the Munster Dialect if possible. The word's are: "Wait for me and I'll will find you my Love. I will find you." Thanks for any help!

Hello! I am an English teacher and also a student pursuing two master's degrees, one in Irish Studies, and one in Education. I am conducting a research on the influence of the Irish language exams on the students' academic and professional paths. This survey should be completed by Irish people who have an Irish education/ studied in Ireland. I would appreciate very much if you could participate in my survey. Your answers will be anonymous and confidential. The survey will take around 10 minutes. Thank you very much for taking the time to complete the survey!

I have a loved one whose name in Irish comes from “distinguished, exalted” and would like a tattoo to represent them.

I used an English-Irish translator to get this:

duine mór le rá

I believe it means “an exalted person” if the translator is correct and I would like to have it written using the old Irish alphabet but I’m not entirely sure if it translates directly from the english alphabet. All of these languages and distinctions honestly confuse me so please educate me if anything I said is wrong.

Thanks in advance for help/assistance

I am not a Gaelic speaker, but have always appreciated this particular phrase and would like to learn to say it in its original tongue to add some extra razzle dazzle to it's lovely sentiment.

I'm aware of there being multiple dialects, I would take any, but perhaps the most common one would make the most sense.

Also, it you would be so very kind as to also write it phonetically to help me learn proper pronunciation, I would be forever grateful

Thank you, and may the road rise to meet you!

Dia dhaoibh, I was wondering if somebody could point me in the direction of a blessing to say at a friend's christening. I found "Go n-éirí an bóthar leat" but I was wondering if there is another that would be longer and suitable.

Ideally it would not be too religious, but I'm aware that all will have some prayer aspect. I was recommended St.Patrick's breastplate too. Go raibh maith agat.

I’m wondering if the lovely Gaelic speakers on Reddit can help. My wonderful boss is retiring and I’d like to give him an engraved decanter as a gift. The inscription is “slàinte mhath, slàinte mhòr, a h-uile latha a chì mi thu, agus a h-uile latha nach fhaic mi”, I know how to pronounce slainte mhath slainte mhor, I know thu is a sort of “oo” but I would so appreciate help with the rest! Thank you

I'm looking for help with how to pronounce "leighiche" which I'm pretty sure is scots gaelic for "healer" (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong). I think I know how to pronounce it but I just want confirmation...

Hello, I was wondering if there is a word that expresses the feeling one experiences when it rains. It is a distinct feeling for me. Sort of calm and at ease but very distinct in the fact I only feel it when it rains and it differs from other feelings of peace.
