interesting thing -- seeing that h is the sound that this letter stands for! -- is that you find the same difference between France and Brittany as between England and Ireland: the French pronounce the letter h (spelled "hache" by all) as "ash", the Bretons say "hash"

@9cheriiberri5 3 жыл бұрын

@@midlifewoman4205 quite hard to explain, kind of a tribal thing and really only truly understood by us in the six counties/ The North/ Ulster/ Northern Ireland. Long story short one side pronounces the letter one way and the other side pronounces it the other way. Won't say which side says what because I think we'd like to keep that for ourselves 😂😂😂😂 and the air of mystery is quite fun! If you're like me and have a few "h's" in your name you might pronounce them both ways when spelling it, just to throw everyone off the scent of which tribe you might be from. I dunno, it's possibly to do with our education system being segregated (thankfully we are beginning to see even more integration) but actually let's be honest it's Northern Ireland - we don't really actually know! But we will come up with some legend to explain it 😂🙈

It’s amazing how many US citizens don’t realize we have our own language! Please continue torturing him-hopefully with more Gaeilge words and phrases! 😂 His reaction to how we call “h” is a classic! I cannot understand why they do not pronounce the “h” in the name. I mean... it’s the sound that it makes! Have it in the name! 😂

I'm American, but my family came from Mayo early 1900's. Even with it being a couple generations now we still say some of these things. I grew up hearing "feckin Eejit" and saying "schtuff" instead of stuff a good chunk of the time.

Just found your videos, feckin awesome, btw! I'm a Laois born woman, (tell your hubby to pronounce that Leesh!) I've been living in Cork for a while, so I'll add in a few for him to learn! In Cork, we say Langers drunk, not fluthered! Corkonians say Howya in 2 different ways: 'Alright boy' is one. Or instead of saying 'What's the craic?' we say 'What's the stoooory?' (Really drag out the 'o' sound in the word story, give your voice a nasal sound, for the Cork northside effect!! Another way to say 'what's the craic?' is by saying 'what's happenin' boy?!' Corkonians finish every sentence with the word 'like'. For example: 'I'm after doing a 12 hour shift and the boss wants me in over the weekend...crazy stuff like!!' Waterford people don't say 'how's the craic?' They keep it short and sweet with a simple 'Well'. Now that covers: Hello, how are you and good to see you! 'Taking the mick' means having me on (used in some parts of the UK too!) Finally 'Gobshite' the Irish equivalent of 'Doofus' Arra, there's lot's of Irish slang, like!

The words were probably passed on in the 1800 to 1900’s when England and Ireland were kind of ‘one’ and they were kind of ‘close’ (I’m using quotation as they were kind of one and depending on who you ask, some people would say they were closer than others) but yeah and also during the Ulster plantation so not sure weather they came from England or Ireland but different words were probably exchanged during these times leading them to be used in Ireland, England and now Northern Ireland which is even more of a mix.

They are so gas.. You've seen my Irish name. Up to the age of 14, I pronounced my name Seer-Sha. Then when I turned 14, I didn't feel it sounded grown up enough, so I told everyone that I wanted to be called Say-er-Sha. ? Then Saoirse Ronan became known to people and that was it. My name is now Say-er--Sha lol. My favourite word has to be Banjaxed.. .love that word.. Other Irish words are: Lashing down Stop codding me, stop that fecking codology, you fecking eejit Gobshite. How's she cutting.? Langers Yer wan is shifting yer man Jammy bastard. Yer fella will be telling you to 'Go way outa that', for fecks sake Slán,mo chara Éirineach
