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"

@@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 😂🙈

When "the black stuff" came up all I could think was "Ashton you're wearing a shirt from the company that makes it" haha.

Being Irish I was laughing my ass off at the "yer man" part 😂😂.. So true

I’d love to see you explaining the difference between “Up the road” “Down the road” “In the road” “Out the road”

One of the best parts was Amy trying to get Ashton to pronounce ara properly. Hahahaha! And then Amy trying to say "I'm like not sure," in an American accent!!! This was so much fun! I would terrific to see more of these type videos.

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.

It may be an east coast thing because I have heard and used ejit on occasion, it is kind of an older term but I still hear it, however effin is used all the time where I am from. oh and something funny like a movie could be called a real gas.

When Amy said Gas Craic at the end and Ash lost it, so did I, that was so funny 😂 love you guys ❤️

There is no such letter as hhhaitch. Thank you! Great video guys. Loved it!

YOU, sweet little Amy, are THE MOST darlin' woman on all of KZread! No kidding lass, ya are. Your beautiful blue eyes give new meaning to the phrase; "Irish eyes are smiling". Because yours really are. O'course you bein' Irish, with your precious, lilting accent does help, lol. Loving ALL 'tings Irish as I do. ☘💚☘ My own, dear great Grandmother Mary (Molly) Dunnigan having hailed from Co. Cork, and our Grandfather (Eugene) Laverty from Co. Kerry, both on our Mum's side that is. So we're very proudly a full half Irish (American) 😉 And that makes your husband Ashton one VERY lucky lad, though he seems quite a fine one as well. Which makes you two a genuinely delightful couple. Thanks for all the fun videos & laughs and keep 'em comin'!

I love this video and it’s a great help to my boyfriend. I live in Dublin and he lives in Indiana and wants to move here. Sometimes he hasn’t the foggiest notion what I’m talking about and I have to basically translate common Irish phrases for him 😄

My mom's been in Canada for a while now, but every once in a while she'll start spouting things like "she being the cat's mother" or "as useless as an ashtray on a motorbike". Interestingly, she only brings out "ara" when she's mad at us 😅

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!

I use 'fair play' and 'I'm grand' in England too :D

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.

"Shtall the digger" and also "Now we’re sucking diesel" are two phrases I love. And let's not forget the self-depreciating "Mayo for Sam" sometimes used by Mayo folk when talking to people from other counties.

Not heard flutered before lol in Scotland we say blootered (means the same lol) 🤣 would love to do a side by side comparison of the Scots and Irish ie for ‘whats the craic’ Scots would say ‘hows is gawn’ although we do sometimes say ‘whits the crack’

Would love to see one the other way around where Ashton teaches you some strange American-isms!

“Bang on” can also mean that someone is a pretty cool, fun person.

I would love to see a video of Amy teaching Ashton and Art how to Irish dance! Now THAT would be gas!

Off-topic: I was watching this and my husband was like, "hey it's that guy that messes with scammers with that other guy" so your husband has been recognized 😁

I love all of these. I met a guy from mote in a fb group and I'm visiting in April. I have sent him all of these and it keeps us laughing because we sound just like you two when we chat

This was very educational and entertaining. You guys are my new Fantastic Duo. Amy keep ‘em coming! Much Love 💕

I loved this. You both are so well matched. Like 2 puzzle pieces that just fit. This was such a fun vid. Thanks Amy & Ashton.

Oh my goodness! Too many funny moments! My favorite moments were Ashton trying to pronounce Ara, how Ashton said Irish people tell stories like they're running out of time & the gas craic at the end! Priceless! 😂😂 I love these types of videos! You guys have such wonderful chemistry & it's really nice to see 2 people who truly love each other ❤ Wonderful video as always Amy! Thanks for always making my days much more happier! I love you Amy & Ashton! 💜👍☺

It's amazing how many of these phrases I've heard listening to the folks on the Try Channel banter back and forth. Thanks to you, it makes a LOT more sense now!! Thanks for the multicultural education!

"Oh, say that again....Irish ASMR, I'm all about it." Same, Ashton, same.

Just LOVE this channel and the energy between you two. Keep in going! ❤❤❤❤

You should 100% get him to watch irish movies and do reviews on them (the snapper, war of the buttons, into the west, Michael collins)

I'm from the Murphy clan in County Wexford. I'm looking forward to this. You two are the sweetest couple. You radiate love. We share a lot of phrases in Liverpool as about 50% of people who live there are from Irish descent, and so many different cultures because of the ships and being a main port over the centuries. Great vid.

Keep doing these. I loved it!

Love this and love you guys!! I will have to use some of these phrases next time I see my Irish friends!

Please do a part 2 that was great

Omg the vanilla story had me CRYING!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 (am English from the South East and this happens when my cousin's husband speaks - he's a Geordie!)

This was a fun video. 👍😄 Part 2 please.

OMG! I just found this channel a couple of days ago and I am hooked. You two are fantastic! I have been binge watching!

I so love you two!

This whole video was GAS!!! ❤️

Yes, more videos for sure! That was gas! 🤣

You need to go to Newfoundland, many of the smaller centres have kept the accent and figures of speech of their Irish ancestors, plus a number of their own, if something is broken or totally messed up they would say " The Arse is out of 'er.

Ty for the vids, omg, so many memories of speaking it

This is gold, very entertaining and funny expressions.. you guys made my day

Very educational video... I will sure be remembering this when I make a trip to Ireland... Great work, keep it up...

Wholesome content!! More stuff like this!

I love this! It's so interesting and funny to see the difference in word meanings.

I love you two,you have just explained to me all about the word FECK,now I know it's a milder term of the other word.I now realise that in Father Ted they are not actually saying the F word but are using a milder version of it..Thankyou.

This was HILARIOUS!! Definitely looking forward to Part 2.

Hey there! I just found your videos and they’re so much fun to watch! As an American, I love to see the differences between cultures! That’s really the reason why I love KZread! This platform really makes the world a smaller place and it’s incredible!

You two are so lovely! Thank you for keeping the music for the end- so much easier to hear you. As an Australian we share a common area for language but Maaaaan! I learned a lot!

This is awesome. I’ve heard some of these before and we use some too in Oz. Ashtons reaction to some were hysterical.

😂 I loved this!!! Please do another one. I need new vocabulary and phrases.

I love this!!! My grandmother is either 1st or 2nd generation American. Her family used to live on Rasey Island. Not sure if it's still called that. I would love to learn more about the culture, supposedly my grandmother used to be able to do a jig. One day, I'll make it there, and other places of my heritage.

Thanks for doing this. You guys are hilarious and adorable

You two are adorable. Thank you for the lessons.

Loved the account of the 'vanilla' story punchline :) Yer great craic, guys!

Definitely...give us more! I'm learning Irish and hearing you talk helps my pronunciation soooo much! Loads of craic!

Love these videos, I have Irish ancestors and this is so much fun. Thank you. More videos please.

I hear a lot of these phrases here in Canada from people who are likely 3rd or 4th generation Irish. I say 3rd or 4th because they have no hint of an Irish accent :) Have also heard some from watching British TV with Irish guests. Also from Seamus and Becky from the WWE :) BTW you two are adorable!

Second one of your videos I've watched tonight. I haven't laughed that much in a Loooong time. Just brilliant. Up Mayo!!!!!!!!

We met in England Dec. 2018, got engaged June 2019 and he had his K1 visa and his flight booked to America April 2020 when the whole COVID thing happened. Regardless, it’s been a lot of fun learning from each other the differences between our countries and cultures. I am so grateful for our daily video chats and synchronized movies on the weekends. Thank you for your videos.
