Күн бұрынJoin us in this video as we take a look at some things Asya finds interesting about Irish culture!

The north has lots of GAA clubs, Donegal has 40, my county Antrim has between 50 to 60 with Casement Park hopefully getting its long overdue redevelopment into a modern 36,000 seat stadium. Irish culture is held onto more when others try to take it away from you. All the best to you both, Donegal's a beautiful county.

Married to an Irish woman with kids and I've (we've) been there countless times. Somewhere in the range of 40 to 50 times at least. I love going there for Christmas, which for me means a break from the sub- zero temperatures in Scandinavia. I Love Irish traditional music, the Irish wit and (sometimes crazy) idiomatic expressions. Even though my native country is very scenic, Ireland is a very scenic place too and has qualities you won't find in my country.

I have been to Ireland twice in my life: first in the mid 1970's when I was in my late 20's and again with wife and son this past year in my early 70's. Almost 50 years had passed. I noticed that Ireland had become MUCH more advanced vs. agricultural. In the 70's, the fields were absolutely filled with sheep. In 2023, the fields were filled with cows instead of sheep. I also observed huge swaths of forests of evergreen trees having been planted vs all fields. Just some observations. I am of Irish descent (Counties Kerry and Roscommon) and live now in Pennsylvania.

@@moorenicola6264 it's not actually "as Gaeilge." The word originated in Northern England, I believe. Made its way over here through people travelling back and forth for work, and then died out in England but became more and more prevalent here. We also changed the spelling here for some reason.

I'm from Northern Ireland and worked in a liquor store (off-license). It takes years of training to reach Irish-level drinking, usually starts aged 12-14. The success of a night out is measured in units of alcohol, encounters with the opposite sex and overall craic generated. Craic is something unusual, hilarious or that generates drama or intrigue. The most popular person is the one who can tell the best story and generate the most craic. Drinking greatly increases the odds of craic being generated. Craic is not always good If you were beaten by girls in an arm wrestle I'd say you're weak. If you get beaten by girls at drinking you must be a lightweight!

Living in Ireland for about 20 years now, but the one thing I adapted (or should I say - already born into) is the slagging. My girlfriend (now my wife) warned me about this when meeting her family that getting "slagged" actually means they like you as she noted some foreign people don't get the concept. Little they knew I grew up in my native Flanders where we ruthlessly burn down everyone we care about and being consistently super polite to people you may have known for years is actually insulting 😁 If I happen to be back in Flanders and bump into an old friend it is normal to great with "How are you doing , you ol pig f*cker" . Most "outsiders" would think we'd be sworn enemies and about to assault each other🤣 I do know I have to be more gentle with the insults towards my Irish friends - the biggest difference I find is in Ireland you slag people about their car, their house, the clothes they wear or the outcome of their actions where in my family we go for the throat and insult on a deeper personal level - although I have noted that most of my Irish friends have become quite comfortable to stomp my core identity into the ground in hilarious ways😆

Bóthair - The Irish word for road literally means 'Two Cows abreast' - that's the width of the old roads. - Of course we have Local, Regional, National and Motorways also but some country roads can be narrow.

Dialect is very different to slang. Hiberno-English has a lot a loan of words from the Irish language (Gaeilge), from Scots, and from older dialects of English from England. That’s all dialect, a country or place’s standard form of speaking. Then there’s slang as well, but you don’t have to be a linguist, it probably comes across as slang, but it’s actually dialect and that’s why it inter generational. Craic, wee and grand are NOT slang, they’re dialect. Aye comes from the Scots language (a low Germanic language from SE Scotland), craic is disputed it could be Irish or Cambric (Northern England). You won’t usually hear Irish people say “How’s it going?” in formal situations as that’s slang. Ireland is small, but diverse. In many parts of Ireland sarcasm has a social context but not all over the country, also it is might more common to encounter rugby or even soccer in some parts and there’s way more social activity than the pub. Your experience sounds lovely but very much a very particular rural experience. Sláinte a chara, every happiness to you and Marc in Ireland. You seem so positive, that will stand by you no matter where you go!

What you call slang, we in Tipperary call slagging. My first English language student, a super Polish woman, took to slagging like a duck to water. She's now a member of the Garda, and I'm sure the ability to indulge in slagging has stood to her.
@peteymax 9 ай бұрын
@@eamonryan2198 wow, that’s great that she joined the Garda! Slang = local words, slagging = teasing (friendly or not). I wonder if slagging is part of Polish culture? She might just have been a natural at it.

Don't ask the country ald timers for directions, when you ask in conversation, how far is the next petrol station, hotel or town. They'll give you directions, like you'll come to a roundabout, if you take the first exit it'll bring to so and so. If you take the second exit, it'll bring you to so and so. So take the 3rd turn off the roundabout, go pass joe bloggs pub on your right. Up the road you'll come to a cross roads. Mary's house is on the left. Don't take that turn. Turn right and you'll pass Paddy O' Sheas house. You'll see his tractor outside. Continue on for about a mile (km now). Had to stop him, and ask how long it takes timewise. Explained, that I can put it in google maps. Still went on giving me directions.

Excellent video. It nails several items. People are kind and interesting. The rounds system is, at its best, generous hospitality, but, it can be just bullying. People drinking more than they should is not funny, especially when they're driving. (Yes, he mentioned driving as a reason not to drink, but that is not always accepted.) BTW I love eating mutton and hate potatoes. ;>)
@SomethingToRemember 10 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment, but I can’t say I agree with you when you say it’s bullying! In fact, it’s the complete opposite, buying someone a drink is one of the most endearing things you can do around here and it is only meant with good intentions 😊 Have a nice day!

'Smashing' is seen as a very English slang word, but it came from Irish market sellers in London describing their wares as 'Is maith sin', meaning it's fine. Locals picked up th the term as 'smashing'.

what your not mentioning about the irish postcode (eircode) is that each house has a unique one - so it identifies the house precisely - thats much better than most countries where a postcode just indicates an area with maybe 1000s of houses
