Beloved bair, I'm sorry. But how tf do you pronounce your name?? The voice in my head must be reading it wrong and I feel silly
oh, don't worry. I guarantee everyone is reading it wrong lmao. i'm guessing most people are seeing 'báir' as 'bear', and that's close enough haha.
(if u wanna be accurate, the 'báir' part is more like if 'borh/bear' had a baby. and 'seach' = something close to 'shock/shuck'. together + more emphasis on second syllable. it's a different language and tbh we have different pronunciations/dialects around the island, so 'bearshock' is close enough (: in my low, broad [redacted] accent lmaooooo)
#báirseach asks#general rule of thumb (VERY GENERAL) btw is s+vowel = sh and a ch at the end = kh as in loch#and the á/a é/e etc matters and changes the pronunciation and meaning#just fyi lol no-one needs a language lesson rn
