Have you spoken a lot with someone who speaks other dialect? If so, How much did you understand eachother?

I love the history us Scandinavians share with the Gaelic people and language. ☺️ It's really fun when I'm learning Irish and then a word pops up where you can absolutely see the Viking origins, like ag, ol, cainin, trall or pingin. It's history speaking to us through us 😌🇸🇪🇮🇪

Yes! I would love a video on each of the common prepositions - ar an, as an, leis an, thar an, do, ó, faoin, roimh an, de, i, etc.

In Russian we also don’t say “I have” like in English. We use preposition like in Irish.

Is muinteoir iontach thu! Déan na fiseain faoi ar agus verbal nouns, le do thoil!

Thank you for teaching irish so clearly your a born teacher

Thank you - yes, a bit complex, but you make it fun, and almost understandable! :)

Yes, would love a vid on verbal nouns and also on the verbal adjective. But most of all, one on DNTLS!

Go raibh maith agat as an fisean. Please make a full series on prepositions. That cleared up a lot for me.

will do 😊

I am having a lot of trouble learning the prepositions. Any lessons you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Learning Irish has become my main pastime during Lockdown, I found a great course on futurelearn but still try to find a lot of other sources because they don't explain everything I want to know, so I love finding Irish content on KZread like yours. It's pure gold! And I would like to see all the videos you'll ever make.

this is a really good lesson! helps a lot when the uses are explained, rather than just a translation being given-go raibh maith agat :) also, the color scheme of the video is just really easy on the eyes, very enjoyable

Dia dhuit,Molly! Great video like always! You are really doing a great job by uploading these videos! In my humble opinion learning Irish is my duty,being an Irishman I must learn my language and speak it! It's a crying shame that I still can't speak Irish well,thus I really appreciate your videos and your knowledge of Irish! Good job! Is mór an trua nach féidir liom Gaelige a labhairt go maith! Is mór agam do chuid físeáin agus an t-eolas atá agat ar an nGaelige! Míle buíochas agus slán go fóill!

Go raibh maith agat. I am discovering your videos and I have found them very well done and very instructive. Maybe you have already made a video on verbal nouns as it is a topic in which I would be very interested. If you have not I would be very grateful if you could make one. Thank you so much once again and comhghairdeas! ☺👍

I’ve learned lots from watching your videos. Dia duiht Mol.s

Good video. Thank you. You explain perfect. Please make more videos.

You're a grand teacher with a nice gentle style of delivery .... nice one.... I'm looking forward to the next vids

Thank you much. I'll go home one day, I hope. Xx

Are you able to speak with native Irish speakers in Donegal?

I'm so sorry, I feel as if Iv missed a few classes. You are so class❤️

Yes, please do a video about prepositions 🙏

Yes please. Verbal nouns

Literally the most useful video about Irish language!!! I´ve been studying Irish for about a year from various materials but nowhere I could find when to use AG. So I wasn´t able to understand sentences I saw nor I was able to create some sentences on my own. But now I´m sure it will be much much more easier! GRMA and best regards from Slovakia! :-)

Molly really enjoying your videos. I am a little over whelmed, I seem so far behind. Great videos and easy to understand.

I loved this video, as I am an auditory learner more than a learner that writes things down unless it's spoken to me repeatedly and I write it down. But I have a question if you haven't posted a video yet. What's the difference between at someone and with someone? Like, if I wanted to say my dog is with me, would it be "Tá mo mhadra agam" or would it be something like "Tá mo mhadra liom"?

It would be liom 😁

Like even before watching!

I am new based in Ireland, I would love to learn the language.

bhí an físeán an-usaideach, go raibh míle maith agat.

I see where we get the word galore from. Go leor. Interesting.

Thanks for the videos, I have a love of Irish, but don't know about the word groups like what pro noun means. I imagine I m not the only one: alas I am grateful for all Your videos. Can You give link that would help people like me: who only have experience of speaking language, if You get me. And also I feel that the Donegal ways of saying are different than other Counties. I m not being smart. Like the way I would say things as gsilugel. Can't spell it. Ta brom orm. I am really grateful for Your posts. Sincerely. Maybe can You do videos on the difference in pronounceation in regional difference. If that makes sense. 😊, I m 44 years old and had national school and nothing further. But my Nanny used to talk Irish to me all the time when I was with her. And we were not liveing in a gailutath. Can't spell if You get the jist. Either how I really appreciate Your videos. Be Well and may God be on You. Sincerely. Jjk, waterford.

However, there is another way to express possession (ownership) in Irish, and it is construction with "Is le" (or with pronouns not just le but liom, leat, leis, etc.). For example: "Is liom é."

Fuair mé d'fhíseáin inniu agus is míle maith liom iad. Míníonn tú gach rud go soiléir. Thosaigh mé foghlaim a labhairt as Gaeilge ar DuoLingo dhá bhliain ó shin. D'fhoghlaim mé cuid mór ach tá lear mór ar DuoLingo. Sorry if that was somewhat garbled. I'm still not that great. That took *several* trips to the dictionary :-p I'd definitely love a deep dive into all the prepositions. I have a lot of trouble with those. I haven't looked through all your back catalog, yet, so you may have done this already, but I'd love to see a good explanation of numbers. There's a lot to the way Irish does them that I find very counter-intuitive.

Is lá maith é gach lá a dhéanann tú físeán nua! grmma!

Go raibh míle maith agat! I will gleefully watch anything you would teach on the prepositional pronouns--I have particular problems with 'ar', 'de' and 'do' ('de' and 'do' have identical third person plural and first person feminine and it's very confusing!).

Físeán maith! (Arís). :) The last use for "ag" wasn't one I was aware of. I may have heard someone use it before, but that may have been on a sentence that was somewhat confusing to me because I wasn't aware of that meaning. Go raibh míle maith agat!

So sorry your back hurts, b t w.

On a linguistic note - I don't think it is quite correct to call verb-nouns in Celtic languages "gerunds", at least nobody else seems to. There is an increasing feeling not to impose Latin grammar on our languages. I decided not to sign up to futurelearn for more DCU courses. When I can start earning again (lockdown has been tough), I'll consider joining your Patreon instead as this suits my learning style better.
