You know what's freakin' awesome, Clisare? I've been on duolingo learning Irish for 40 days straight and I fully understood the first 30 seconds of this video without the subtitles. I don't care if that seems like a small thing, tá mé bródúil as.

Maith thú! I have done the whole course and am taking others. It takes a long time to gain any level of comfort, but it works if you work at it!

“That you may die without a priest” . . . I can’t think of anyone other than the Irish coming up with that one 😂

"Gan an sagart" actually means "without the priest". "Without a priest" is "gan sagart"

Between the priest not showing up as I was dying here laughing and the red d******a, this video had me in stitches - God what a great language we have😅😅😅

So here's what I found interesting. I watched the video, then I listened to it, and Irish sounds almost Norse. I don't mean Scandinavian, but like old Norse. Almost like Icelandic. I found that fascinating.

Anthropologists believe they came from the same roots. If you look at the names of the old celtic gods, and old norse gods, as well as the old German gods, they all have similar names

That's not surprising, since all our cities were founded by the Vikings. The word for "table" is the same in Irish as in Swedish (bord) and our word for "snake" - nathair - is derived from the Norse "nadr". The Vikings intermarried with the Irish and our language absorbed some Viking influences.

I wouldn't base your udnerstanding of Irish pronounciation off this video.

I’m so glad I also watched your “how to piss off an Irish person”! Hopefully one day when I’m able to visit Ireland I’ll be able to avoid having any of those curses fired in my direction. I wonder, would you be willing to share some Irish blessings as well? I would enjoy learning those as well. Love your content Clare, take care :)

I feel great in my learning that while I had to look at the subtitles to understand, I was mostly looking at the Irish and not the translation. I'm making progress! Keep up the videos as Gaeilge le do thoil, a Chlisare!

Tapaidh leat, à Chlisare! Tha seo uabhasach innteanach. Feumaidh mi à n-ionnsachadh ann an Gàidhlig na h-Alba.

I've heard some additional bits - such as 'May the devil make a ladder out of your spine to pick the apples in hell' and "may you have diarrhea on your wedding night' :) Go raibh maith agat, maith thú! Is brea liom.

I have had so many of those curses and insults thrown my way in so many different languages, I can now meet my maker knowing that I saved the best, those in Irish Gaeilge, for last. Wait a sec...I am meeting my maker, right?

Níl ach Duolingo Gaeilge agam. Déanaim na ceachtanna ar líne ar mo ríomhaire gach maidin. Is iad seo na físeáin Irish language content gur is aoibhinn liom, and a part of the reason (besides the class humour!) I subscribed to your channel years ago. You're definitely doing your part to infuse life and relevance into one of Europe's most ancient extant languages, mar tá mallachtaí tábhachtach sa saol agus not to be lost to the ages! 😋

Just one thing - "lean", pronounced "lann" actually means "to follow". The Irish word for "sorrow" is "léan" (note the accent - we call it a fada - over the letter "e") which is pronounced like the English word "lane".

Just found my lineage in scotland and ireland. Funny thing is i always thought the language is dead. Im in california usa, i work with 2 people who speak it well. One whose from ireland herself. Was never a dead language to begin with but im very happy to see it coming back.

Planning to put this on my essay, wish me luck guys!

Love the video... We Irish can be so vicious ouch lol. . It always fascinates me though, just how different our regional dialects are for such a small country. I'm a Kerry girl and I speak Munster Gaeilge and I was correcting your pronunciations but also knowing that you speak Connacht Gaeilge. Mallacht eile i nGaeilge 'Tá tú níos dúr ná leathcheann'

That's one of the handy things about learning Irish in school, particularly in primary school where you have a different teacher every year - one year you're told that "beidh" is pronounced "by" and a year later, it's supposed to be pronounced "beg". Most helpful for small kids who have only ever spoken English...

I was going to make a wisecrack about how Gaeilge sounded like someone speaking English backwards, then I remembered I speak with a Boston accent, which gives me less than zero right to make any sort of joke about how literally anyone sounds.

That one about dying without a priest is savage!

Absolutely loved this video, but the scary thing is that I'm pretty sure that my great great grandmother said a few things very similar to this and it triggered a childhood memory so now I'm wondering if she was trying to curse at someone when I just thought it was beautiful because I never understood the language lol I really hope that you are able to do more videos like this, thank you for sharing and all your hard work 😊👍❤👍 Much love from New Hampshire in the USA ❤❤

I could listen to you all day. You are the only one who could make a curse sound good! LOL! That was great fun. Thanks!

Teach us more please. I love hearing curses..The Irish "may you have red diarrhea is a good one - - -It's as good as the Chinese curse "may you live in interesting times"

I find the curses and swears in native old languages so intresting always less agressive yet pratical relating to everyday things in life. In some ways it gives you a look into the mind set in those times. That said may all of these befall Vlad.

KLICKEN SIE!!!! Das war HERRLICH!!! Ich möchte unbedingt Gälisch lernen, aber da ich gerade meinen Doktortitel in Psychologie mache und versuche, an meiner Dissertation zu arbeiten…. Es wird ein bisschen warten müssen, lol. Das war allerdings wirklich brillant und die Geschichte mit der Katze, die jemanden verflucht, ist genau richtig. Das hast du gut gemacht!

The Irish language is such a beautiful language I wish I had enough time to learn it fully.

Ver cool. God bless.

I think I'm in love.

That would be totally cool

❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂 thank you!!!

I so wish I could grasp this language. But I am struggling. I have watched several videos but just trying to remember how different and difficult the letter sound in Irish compared to how English makes those same letters sound. But I love to hear people speak it. My company has an Irish challenge up for this month being St. Paddy's day in it and all. We have a sister FW Metals over there. The challenge was sent in by them to say several phrases. At first they didn't seem that hard..... but then they were. Lol Thanks for all your videos. Love them.

1:32 onwards. The sass is coming through

Listen, GRMA for any Irish language content. 🙏💖

hahaha! Yes more!!

Another lovely one - "Go mbeadh tochas síoraí ar do mhagairlí agus go mbeadh do lámha ró-ghearr chun iad a scrábáil", which means "May your balls be eternally itchy and your arms too short to scratch them" - the same word, "lámh", is used for "hand" and "arm".

It's interesting that you seem to be quite confident in speaking "bold things" in Irish. There is no hesitation, no missing a beat. Could be you're improving. 🤔😜😂 Thanks for the humor.

Let me just say, Irish is such a beautiful language like wow , I’ve been learning different languages on and off duolingo but have always been interested in lesser mainstream languages then stumbled upon Irish.. I’m not sure if many people speak Irish though I know the population is quite low I wished more people spoke it cause it seems very interesting I guess my only downfall is if I would have enough resources to learn it and if I’ll find people online to speak it with me

My own favourite isn't actually a curse, but it's pretty offensive at the same time - "mura bhfuil do mháthair ina striapach, abair léi mo chuid airgid a thabhairt ar ais dom", which means "if your mother is not a prostitute, tell her to give me my money back".

These are not actually swearing. One example is basically may the wind blow at the person from an inconvenient angle, for instance. They're not obscenities. It's for fun. And half of why it's funny is that some are so very gentle. You don't have to watch it but I thought I'd mention this.

There's also "cac an diabhail ort" which means "may the devil shit on you". The standard reply to this is "cac dáréag diabhal ort" which means "may twelve devils shit on you".

Ó, bualadh bos! Tá tú an ceann is fearr! Bhí a fhios agam é sin.💋💋💋

Yeah, I thought, yes, I can do this and people would not know what I’m saying 😊 Nope, I was lost quickly. Cool language though ♥️

I somehow feel blessed, not cursed. Gaelic sounds amazing, always loved it😊

Sure, why not learn more. When we moved to America my parents stopped speaking it after a couple years. I was too young to get anything useful from the language.

I sense some new curses brewing... go n-itheann portach thú or ithe ag portach?

To Be Real , You Can Put A Curse On Me Any Time . Much Love From Texas !

Okay, that was fukn intese. I was expecting some " may your tinned beans be of a low quality sweetness". You meant curses....

So basically, Irish has some of the cleanest and nicest ways to curse someone. Somehow I'm not surprised.
