#Irish accent

Something about barty with a THICK Irish accent really does it for me.

No way we were robbed of Merlin with an Irish accent 😭????? Like Colin Morgan’s accent is so hot. They knew Merlin would have been way too powerful.

Differences in Irish English vs British English

-Prepositions:

Irish people use more prepositions. It’s anecdotal but my Dad always likes to reference the joke of a parent saying to their kid: “get out from behind that thing behind which you are currently stood”

-Tenses (To be or not to be after doing?)

Where a Brit has “just done something”, and Irishman will “after doing” it. For example, in his  1988 novel “The Commitments”, Roddy Doyle writes: “I'm after rememberin'. I forgot to bring mine back. It's under me bed.”  That is to say that character just remembered in that moment.

-Yes/No

For the Portuguese reader this may seem natural; in Ireland they are less likely to use yes or no. Instead they opt for using the verb again. Think: “Would you like a cup of tea?” “I would”. This may stem from the Irish language’s lack of the words yes and no.

-Religious influences in everyday speech:

Irish has been known to be “the most Catholic country in the world” so its like surprise that such phrases have entered into everyday vernacular:

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, - This is used to expressed surprise 

Jesus H. Christ - This is used in anger, surprise, frustration or for humour (I would if Jesus has different initials internationally!)

-Individual bits of vocab

Press = Cupboard 

Hot press = Airing cupboard

Gas = Great

To give out = To tell off a child 

Yer man/yer wan = Any man/ woman that you’re referring to

Grand = Good/fine

Acting the maggot = Messing around or acting up

On the lash = Out drinking

Give it a lash= Give it a go

Now we’re suckin’ diesel = Now this is a phrase to mean something has started to go right

Effin’ and blindin’ = Swearing

Eejit = An insult for an idiot

I’ve been feeling homesick so here’s a list of differences between Irish English and British English inspired by my Irish da. Anyways go watch The Banshees of Inisherin -a good Irish film (pronounced fillum)

A lovely three - I mean Tree - emote for RTGame! Really love how this one turned out!

For those out of the loop, with an Irish accent, "Tree" and "Three" sound the same, and has been a long running joke

Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy Allen White made GQ-UK’s list of the best pop culture moments of 2024.

A Good Book and a Sturdy Desk

His presence in the doorway after a time didn't surprise you, and you felt your pulse quicken at the cockiness of his stance, leaning against the frame with his arms folded. A part of you hoped he would come and find you. It had been a while since you had any time together, too caught up in the duties you both assumed years ago when he built the town with his bare hands.  “Good book?” He asks, and there's something in the air between you; a tension you cannot place, and the heat in his eyes - you know what he is after.  You feel strangely nervous. You unconsciously clench your thighs together, too embarrassed to acknowledge the rising feeling.  “My favourite,” you say, airy, “but I'm finding it hard to read, today.” 

@cheshireizxpikeveil made a request that spiraled vaguely out of control and led to 24 pages and a whole-ass audio-version!

Pls enjoy.

(also I have an Irish accent so don't be alarmed I guess)

One small fact for my BD/BadGuys au for the day

While Katherine doesn’t talk much, but when she does(by keeping her mouth off screen) she has a Irish accent, just like her dear old mother

The Diamonds here have their same voice actresses from the show

Yellow Diamond- Patti LuPone

Pink Diamond- Susan Egan

White Diamond- Christine Ebersole

Blue Diamond- Lisa Hannigan

And Lisa Hannigan gave Blue Diamond an Irish accent, so it would make sense that Katherine would also have one, despite how none of the spilts have an Irish accent too, well her accent isn’t as pronounced and strong as Blue’s.

Okay so. I need a little help. Is there anywhere to practice an Irish accent with actual Irish people? Like. I'm thinking of how people practice other languages with native speakers online sometimes. I'm trying to learn the accent for a fantasy world, so it's not a high pressure thing, but if I try and learn it through some stereotype ass lesson I will cringe and die of the disrespect. (I'm focusing on County Wicklow.)

Already knew my Irish accent wasn’t built for technology but snapchats new VN to words transcript thing is sending me:

For context I was telling my friend I had a migraine and couldn’t afford to take any more time off and unfortunately I had a Monday meeting.

The fact this is arguably the most coherent part is sending me:

Okay so today I started out normal. Then after maybe an half an hour or a full hour I got stuck in an Australian accent. Which isn’t too out of the ordinary, because I have adhd and sometimes just get stuck in accents for a bit

After like maybe thirty minutes or less the Australian accent turned into an Irish one

Then I was stuck in an Irish accent for several hours. Very unusual, as that doesn’t happen a lot

Then for maybe thirty minutes or so I got my usual accent back (which is a mix of a few accents since I’m a military brat, but mostly American)

Then I got stuck in an Irish accent again. And now it’s one forty one at night and I’m still Irish

Gonna see if I’m Irish in the mornin’ or if I’ve gone back to normal
