That could be a while, sadly the team of the mid 2010's was a great team now well past their peak.

@@LearnIrish Its hard for any county to compete with Dublin funding at the moment Dane and thats coming from a Dub. The playing field is no longer level. Just as a matter of interest, im getting emails regarding back to training for our junior team about to begin their Feile, the club secretary always begins the Email with : "A Chara" Should "Cara" be lenited after "A" in this instance? Go raibh mile maith agat.

Yes cara on its own as a single stand alone word means friend or comrade but the a in front of it adds possession and therefore mutation. The Irish language loves mutation for whatever reason.

Very interesting, thank you very much for sharing 🙂

Interesting, thank you.

‘Llong’ (Welsh) / ‘Long’ (Irish) goes one better and has one different letter but same meaning. I imagine there are quite a few words found in both on account of the Déisi that settled in Wales and became part of the social elite.

Interesting, the Déise is a nickname for the county of Waterford in the South East of Ireland, what does it mean in Welsh?

@@LearnIrish it means ship/boat which is quite interesting because that will have been the first thing either side would have seen of each other. I’m no expert though and just notice these little things through as I continue to research Celtic languages. I have to applaud you as well, your channel is a fantastic resource for me and I look forward to more of your videos. Go raibh maith agat.

That would certainly be a good idea for a future video, thanks for the suggestion

Louth is great too, thank you very much 😊 I would guess a lot of people don't know the dramatic and poetic meaning of their place names.

All good things come to those who wait.

Interesting analysis.

How do you know any of this for sure. This is pre-history, there are no records for any of it. It’s really just conjecture and speculation, isn’t it ?

Try Motherfoclóir by Darach Ó Séaghdha

Just like the village of Inch, but which is smaller?

@@LearnIrish Inch? I thought Ireland fully adopted the metric system!

Always a few stragglers!

That's why they call me the Great Dane 😁 best of luck with the Irish 🍀 Sorry about my attempts at Danish, I probably butchered the language.

@@LearnIrish You're not too far off with the old norse, Danish is a far cry from the "theanga sean" of norse but having multiple vocabularies sort from I can maybe help a little. Weisfjord to me sounds more like white fjord "Weis" is german for white, and english, danish and other nordic languages share the same base, so it is safe to assume the meaning? The name has probably something to do with the white sand? Wicklow is fairly easy to extrapolate from norwegian "Vik" meaning bay and danish "Lav" meaning low. So: the shallow bay? Maybe? Now this is not coming from academic sources but from my knowledge of danish, german and norweigan. Tá mé i mo conai i countae Laoise. The only county that sound the same in Irish and Béarla 😉

Ha ha, of all the places in Ireland you end up in a place with such a similar name in English 😁 Your interpretation is very interesting on Wexford, what would mud flats be in the Scandinavian languages? And have you any thoughts on Veðrafjǫrðr aka Vadrefiord or Waterford?

@@LearnIrish It kinda makes sense, English root words aka the ones like head, hand and foot are all Germanic. I actually read the lordship prayer on Old English and understood most of it, very fascinating. Waterford is hard, in old norse/Icelandic it sounds like Rams fjord, Vædder fjord in danish. It has confusing similarity to the word vadre which means to tread water, that had me thinking in the wrong direction for a while...

Fascinating to hear that, if you have any further insights please email me on danetyghe@gmail.com. Thank you for sharing your information 😊

Indeed, they also raided the Isle of man.

Maith thú, tá do Gaeilge go hiontach agus tá súil agam go bhfuil tú ag déanamh go maith sa scoil. Cad is ainm an scoil?

If you're using a regular keyboard, check out Google for alphabet shortcuts (it's usually something like Ctrl + Alt + the letter). If you're using an iPad or a smartphone, press and hold the relevant letter until a little option box pops up with various accents. Slide your finger across to the one you want.

Thank you for the tip

Not wrong

Not entirely untrue no doubt

That's right, Dublin is on the east coast, Belfast is Ireland's second city and that is situated in the North East and Cork in the south. Yes there would be differences in English accents and also in Irish language dialects.

An interesting linguistic point

G'day t'you GTC2 ! Regards your comment, if you watch say British TV especially back a few decades, those announcers who were trained to use the formal "BBC" accent shall we say, you'll notice a similar pronunciation of words starting with "Wh" (ie as if it was spelt "Hw..."). In the 1960's, our Mum (who'd emigrated from England 5 years earlier) tried to teach us kids to always pronounce the "Wh", different to a standard "W". Alas we copied the local Kiwi (New Zealand) accent. I may on rare occasion specifically pronounce the "Wh" if I want to emphasis certain words perhaps. Nowadays therefore, most people would pronounce "which" and "witch" the same way, and a listener would need to understand the context, to comprehend. Actually there's been research showing how many, even, English-as-first-language kids nowadays are not hearing subtle differences in pronunciations and this means that from an early age, they never learn to be able to pronounce those words differently. Examples being "air" and "ear". Also consider "beer" and "bare"/"bear". Ain't languages and accents fun !

That's probably like saying the Europeans never settled in America 😅

Scotland the only colony that voted to stay one

You're not wrong

Nice to find one of your own, glad to see that you enjoy the channel

Place names are interesting

It certainly is, the language is everywhere - in our history, culture, folklore and places.

@@LearnIrish I was born in England, but my parents are from Roscommon and I lived there for years, so I understand that also. I try to explain this to English people and they often don’t understand this, some don’t know or believe there is an Irish language! I would have liked to learn it, but I didn’t live there long enough and now I am very busy and getting old. Keep up this great work!

The English can be a very insular race many of who have very little knowledge of their colonial past. Education and knowledge is power.

@@LearnIrish I think some of it is because if the history of the empire was taught it would take up so much time, so they can only teach the basics and there is probably some shame of it. Ireland was colonised by England by far the longest and is a neighbour, more history should be known in England. Scottish and Welsh history is known much more. It’s great that you’re promoting Irish, because the language is the culture and identity of a country. I meet a lot of English people when they find out this they are open to it. The internet must be a help

The Internet has wonderful potential 😁 glad to hear that you find the videos useful and informative.

Yes it just depends on the context, Dara is normally used after a noun and Doire is the original name of Derry

@@LearnIrish isn’t lugh the Celtic god of love ? I thought I read that somewhere .

Glad you liked the video, that could be correct re Celtic god, but I'm not sure.

Best wishes 👍

You're not wrong

Fiords is the plural noun of fjord. Anglicised 'ford' comes from 'fjord' and has changed it's meaning after 1000 years of use which is expected.

Certainly not unexpected

That's very unusual, perhaps it could be connected with the surname Tyrell but I'm not sure.

There's a place in County Down, near Clough, called Tyrella beach. Might they have come from that area? It's a beautiful, unspoilt beach people go to for day trips or holidays. I'm from County Antrim, the lonely ridge! 😊

Indeed, I'm not sure how we ended up with Dubh linn instead of the other way round but it is what it is.

The English mispronounced all of the names of towns, cities and counties in Ireland anyway.

Deliberately trying to wipe out our linguistic heritage by a process of Anglicised place-names.

If you look hard enough probably

My mum is from Tyrone... We know it as Tur-rown the other way said in Mayo Tie-rown... Then of course theres the right way Cheer ohan.... Tir Eoghan.. I hope I've phonetically got that right... Oh well worth a try

You're not far wrong, a great county.

Not really, I don't know much more than what I mentioned in the video about these places.

Antrim has a long ridge of hills running along its length, hence Aon Droim. There are 2 well known ancient fortresses in An Dun which are candidates; one in Downpatrick, the other in Dundrum.

Good job on the Irish, you are well able to put your Irish language skills to good use, I'm sure your grandparents would be very proud. I'm glad you like the video and that it helped you. Always remember that whenever you think, speak or write as Gaeilge, you are holding up a little window into the way your grandparents thought and how they saw the world. Don't let go of that window because if you do you're losing a lot more than a metaphorical window.

@@LearnIrish I know it’s where I have some family also the home county of my dads maternal grandmother ( my great gran ) her maiden name was Ring and some relatives are looking into seeing whether there’s any link between her family and the family of the famous cork hurler Christy Ring . He’s a legend in the GAA and there’s a statue of him in the entrance to the club grounds at cloyne in cork

The great thing about Counties Derry , Antrim, Down, Armagh, Tyrone and Fermanagh is that they have such a rich Gaelic history. This is easily seen in the place names 🍀🇮🇪

Northern Ireland is Irish

It certainly is

"Ireland Northern Ireland is its own county part of the uk " Tell that to your British chums who call it "the province". To me a country is defined by an independent government and I'm not sure if Northern Ireland fits that description. Considering your borders just got decided by a guy called Boris and you have no say in it, I think country doesn't fit the bill. However if your were part of Ireland you would have much more say in how your country was run. I'm also at a loss as to why you bothered posting that on here. Northern Ireland is part of the Island of Ireland whether you like it or not.

You'll need to please brush up on your terminology. Northern Ireland is part of Ulster, a province, and a wondrous place that will always be part of my family's legacy going back many thousands of years long before there was even a thought of an england let alone anything resembling "british". Despite british plantation/subjugation it is, and always will be, to this day and forever, our beloved Éire.
