Claire: brilliant and authentic observations! I'm from "De Nart" (Meaning the North, meaning, Derry City), and I've always loved how Dubliners are not comfortable with me until they have "pegged me down" (meaning, they know my history enough to feel comfortable sitting in a pub with me). There's obviously a huge rift culturally between Derry and Dublin, and many Dubliners know the mechanics of this dynamic. You're spot on about music. I'm an English professor living in San Diego, California, and I can't get my students to sing at all. It's a valley girl and boy refusal to be "vulnerable" in front of other students. In Derry, everybody sang all the time, from infant school (kindergarten) until Grammar school (High school). To this day, I walk the streets of Derry and pedestrians are walking and singing to themselves. It's not considered a mental health issue, as it is in California and I walk around singing to myself. People will cross the street here rather than suffer rubbing shoulders with a crazy man. Keep it up. These are rich and valuable topics.

The conditional tense stuff comes I think from the Irish language as that is how you would say it “as Gaeilge”. While few speak Irish it has influenced the adoption of English.

I think that’s true. You may have noticed too that instead of saying “I’ve just done ...x, y or z” - Irish people will often say “I’m just after doing x,y or z”. e.g. “I’ve just had a shower” can often become “I’m just after having a shower.” I believe this also comes from the Irish language - according to a friend who knows a lot more about the language than I do.

Being from Dublin myself, I was absolutely blown away at how accurate your observations were. Glad you're enjoying Ireland 😍

Good observation on the Irish as a Irish man myself it's good to watch a beautiful new yorker smile when talking about my country. Oh and one slang that you haven't said is. Watch your house. Which is watch your back lol ❤

Other phrases you'll hear in conversation start with: "ah listen... Or wait til I tell ya...or I'm only after....". Goin into town usually means I'm going shopping (for clothes) or I'm going drinking! If you live in suburbs of Dublin you"ll either go to your local (pub) = quiet night out which never ends up quiet! or goin into town (livelier pub, gig or nightclub). We are very dramatic retelling a story of what happened aswell. And people slag you if they like you. If they think youre offended they'll say "I'm only slaggin" "I'm only buzzin off ya".

I could make an argument that the phrase 'it'll be grand' has hurt Ireland quite a bit. On the one hand, it depicts a nice laid-back attitude about things, but on the other, it demonstrates a lack of planning and also a lack of desire to make any plans. So you just shrug and say, 'it'll be grand' and then it isn't grand.

Wow, Bariloche!? Dublin is a large (comparable to Rosario, in size), and relatively safe (by European standards) city, with decent quality of life/standards of living (again, by European standards), but very high costs of living (comparable to those of New York); there seems to be a perpetual housing crisis, as many Irish are constantly at the losing end in terms of affordable housing (when it comes to housing, Dublin is "a case-study" of Chicago school "supply-side economics"). You won't find the kind of (stunning) natural environment you've got in Bariloche anywhere in Ireland; there are, however, many hiking opportunities all throughout Ireland (in fact, some of the best of those opportunities are just south of Dublin, in Wicklow Mountains). I know you didn't ask for any of this information/reply; it's just that your comment kinda stood out, and I felt compelled to reply! Anyway, the very best wishes to you in all of your endeavors!!!

The people in Northern Ireland there have the choice to be British citizens, Irish citizens or both. The best of both worlds. UK and Ireland have an interesting arangement. Irish citizens and British citizens are not subject to immigration law in each others' countries. They can stay as long as they like, work, study, etc, etc. Irish citizens have the right to vote in all UK elections, and stand in all UK elections. Theoretically if an Irish citizen is elected to Westminster and takes the seat, there is no bar on that Irish citizen becoming PM of the UK. British citizens can vote in local and Dáil [parliament] elections, but cannot vote in referendums or presidential elections. Only Irish citizens can stand for the Dáil [parliament].

Pete Pedroza Its like comparing apples and oranges kilkenny is an alev and guinness is a stout.Stouts are brewed from fully roasted grain whereas ales are only partially roasted and lagers not roasted at all. I think kilkenny is the export version of Smithwicks in ireland it would be mostly smithwicks ,i may be wrong though but both are made by the same company smithwicks though now its part of Diageo which owns guiness

Murphy's make the best stout in Ireland, it's like a secret that nobody knows about, not even advertised any more.

DUBLIN. is a CITY but it's small. and our towns are soo small, that we really consider. them as VILLAGES, we see DUBLIN MORE AS A LARGE TOWN! . Ireland is a small country, our city is SMALL COMPARED TO CITIES IN AMERICA, POLAND AND ALL THOSE HUGE COUNTRIES!! . and on the topic of.. TO BE FAIR, is just our way of trying not to come across as too grumpy, or insulting, , so we try to make light Of bad situation or an annoying person, so for example?.. For example,.. If the weather is be, we don't like to complain if it was sunny and nice all week!! Or if someone is putting someone else down? , we will throw a compliment in as well, so as not to unsult that person too much, or hurt their feelings. too much!! !! 😨😰 after all... we are nice people and we don't really like to moan and groan and we do try, to be nice to everyone!! even if we don't like really take to them! 😰😀😁

the drunk person isnt usually the case especially in dublin cos its full of nakers, we take that seriously

To be fair we say to be fair in England. My eldest niece and family live in the ROI. Also in England we make fun of friends to their faces but I sometimes do that to insult them in actuality, not nice I freely admit. I better subscribe now as I think it rude to comment and not to sub.

John 3.16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
