FIRST EVER IRISH LANGUAGE FILM TO BE NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR CAME IN 2023!!!!!!!! I am absolutely beside myself with pure happiness and so many emotions - my first language, my mother tongue, getting the recognition it deserves all thanks to An Cailín Ciúin. Never been prouder to be a Gaeilgeoir!!!

ALSO The Banshees of Insheerin and Paul Mescal getting all those noms means it is Ireland’s strongest ever year at the Oscars!!!

Ealaín na hÉireann abú!!!!!

In Ireland when someone tells you they’ve got quite the story to tell you that’s one thing. But if they say they’ve got a SCÉAL to tell you? Oh you know you’re in for the wildest ride.

Cuirtear smaoineamh orm. Cén chaoi nach bhfaca mé "sídhe" mar fhorainm neamh-dhénártha i nGaeilge? Fuaimnítear é cosúil le "sí" agus chonaic me "fey" mar fhorainm i mBéarla, ach ceapann mé go n-oibríonn sé níos fearr i nGaeilge.

Dia dhaoib a chairde, Pope is an t-ainm orm, sídhe/ídhe is m'fhorainmneacha.

There'a really no reason to be shocmed that names change, all languages that have noun classes do it, hence why Caesars last words in the play are "Et tu, Brute?" And not "Et tu, Brutus?" Brutus' name is in the genitive case because he's being called to. If it makes you feel better the h doesnt really have anything to do with it, before it was just a dot, a little marker that let you know but that wasn't convenient for typewriters, no one wants to add like 15 new letters for one language that was actively being killed off.

Also the séimhiú is enturely consistent within its own rule, i before e is broken multiple times in english.

The séimhiú applies to nouns in all tenses and verbs in past tenses and conditional tense, along with all negative statements except the imperative

No one ever gets to make fun of “I before e except after c” ever again.

I just read a several page blog post about how and when to stick an H into Irish words and it doesn’t make any sense.

On a specific set of consonants, if you’re using a specific list of prepositions, using the word “my”, asking someone a question (yes you literally change how you spell and pronounce another persons name apparently. My name is now pronounced gella but only when you ask me a question), or using a feminine noun (did not explain the rules of that) or a feminine adjective (who the fuck is grammatically gendering adjectives) but in some of those cases if it’s a D or an T it DOESNT actually happen…

Then you stick an H after the first letter and change how you pronounce it.

…..in one specific dialect.

And it did not clarify in what tenses this applies. Is it only present tense? All of them? Some but not all?

I’m just curious about who follows me and for what posts

For the purpose of this poll:

Irish means your family is Irish and/or you consider Ireland your home.

Of Irish descent means one grandparent or further back is Irish and you do not consider Ireland home.

Neither means you don’t have Irish ancestors and you don’t live in Ireland.
