For those who keep saying, "We DoN't SaY ToP oF tHe MoRnInG!!!1!1" Chill. This is a phrase that us 12% Irish people use to greet one another usually in the morning and sometimes late morning just before noon. . If you're full Irish, you wouldn't understand sorry. Stop trying to oppress us 12% Irish folk and let us SpEaK FrEeLy!!!!!!@!
Dude don't mind them. We mightn't use that phrase but I'd imagine most people might (at most) roll their eyes. And don't obsess on DNA, if you want to enjoy and take part in our culture then you're more than welcome. ☮➕❤ bud!
The issues people have with the phrase is not normally about you using it, but more that it has been used to take the p*ss out of our accents in movies and TV for years. Think of the Simpsons leprechauns etc. It tends to be used in massive stereotyping which gets people's backs up.
@@miscusername ahh those people need to take a chill pill..I love harmless jokes about my nation just as much as I love harmless jokes about people from nigeria or Italy Scotland japan where ever for me it's just a bit of banter .lifes too short 😂😂😂
I don't expect everyone in the world to be able to pick out Ireland on a map of the world but when people are pointing at China, there's something seriously wrong.
Can't speak on behalf of every American (obviously from this video) but I actually cringed when I saw some of these responses for where they thought Ireland was. I mean they couldn't even get the continent correct. As an American who considers my own geography one of my weak points, I at least know western Europe easily.
@@holldolldee7582 It's not a matter of opinion. Ireland is not Britain, nor part of Britain. Never has been. In 1801 (after the United Irishmen rising) it became part of the "United Kingdom of Great Britain AND IRELAND". In 1922 that became "...and Northern Ireland" If there was anything British about Ireland, no "ands" would have been required. When England Scotland, Wales and Ireland send their combined rugby union team to the Southern hemisphere, what is it called? The British AND IRISH Lions. There you go, another "and". I'm not Irish BTW.
@@pronoob1760 everybody speaks english here lol..........only a very small portion speak irish.....everyone speaks a bit of irish because we learn it in school
Absolutely crazy how people don’t know basic geography…like I guess I can understand if you don’t know exactly where Ireland is but to say it’s where Greenland or India is??????
Really good video and it doesn't matter that regular Americans don't know too much about Ireland. They just need to come over to visit. Here's directions on getting here, its the first small island between the US and mainland Europe. Best wishes from Ireland ☘️☘️🇮🇪
@@daviddunney6114 you’re right, it is a little to the north, I’m being super specific though, but yeah, directly, without detour, they’re basically here.

And although the people in this video may not have known much, millions of American do love ireland. For example, the White House is lit up green on paddy’s day and the river in Chicago is dyed green

"your thinking more of Scotland they've got the kilt and bagpipe" like lad we've got our own it's called the Saffron Kilt and Uileann Pipes, 12% Irish my bollocks
I know that it’s so green and lush, I know the people are amazingly helpful and kind, I have never seen potatoes prepared in so many different ways. I know that the City of Cork, is SO cosmopolitan! Travel throughout Ireland is amazing. The sweaters I purchased while in the Arian Islands were beautiful and well made. EVERYTHING revolves around the Pub, even breakfast! What a great place!
2:00 kilts are Irish too, and we do wear them. They're literally apart of our culture. There was 1 dug up dated back to the 1500's. Bagpipes are Irish too, and we do play them. Irish pipes, uilleann pipes, píobaí uilleann, And is apart of our culture too. This video was fun 😊
I went to Dublin 10 years ago. I asked an old guy for a direction on my arrival in Dublin and when he heard my English accent he told me to f*ck off then stormed off. Thankfully, he was the exception. My stay there was great and the Irish were very friendly. Loved Dublin, by the way.
What I like about your vids is how you challenge people to experience outside the box and because of your personal skills they are happy to do it. We all need the lesson to challenge our ingrained tribalism whatever that tribalism is either national or racial. WELL DONE! Elderly white middle class male Australian
I'd love to visit Ireland, Americans ,especially ones that have never left the country tend to base opinions on stereotypes, that can be said about most countries though.
Rule number one of greeting an Irish person: never say “top of the morning to ya”. In all my years on this great island I have never heard it being said
These are always fun to watch. I would suggest that you tell people to answer in different order (1st, 2nd, 3rd...) when there are multiple people. I noticed people often go along with the person that answered first. I would like to think I wouldn't, but maybe it's the pressure of being on the spot. I know a lot of flags, but I am sure if I ever ran into you I would suddenly forget everything I knew! All good fun.
Thanks for the feedback Elaine. Yea when I interview more than one person, I sometimes tell them they could do it as a team because a lot of times they get nervous and don’t want to do it by themselves. I find that they are a bit more comfortable doing it with a friend. When it comes to flags, I would struggle myself if someone showed me a bunch of flags and asked me to pick out a specific one. But again, the whole point of these videos is just to spread a bit more knowledge. There is no real pressure in these types of videos, it’s more for fun for the people that participate. Thanks for watching Elaine👍🏽
Yeah don't mention that kind of stuff if you come over! If you ask for a basic history lesson though, or simply ask about stuff, we absolutely love that as we have so much pride in our little island. Most friendly cities would be cork and galway (sorry limerick) and definitely stay away from tourist traps like temple bar, instead just wonder around. If you make friends and they offer tea and sandwiches, take them, if an irish mammy offers you food definitely eat it! Definitely travel around to less known spots and not just touristy places as you will get more of a true irish experience. We have different accents which may change even 20km away, and if you find an accent difficult to understand, tell us. First example in Kerry where I live, our accents tend to be quick and thick.
Nobody in Ireland says top ó the morning. That's a Simpson thing. We don't wear kilts, that's Scottish. Also there's no such thing as St Patty's day... Patty is short for Patricia. Its either st Patrick's day or paddy's day. EDIT what DO Americans learn in school???
@@TheWrensHouse Was that those brothers who made up modern tartans? You have admire their cheek. Old Scottish tartans were very different from the modern made-up ones. Those originated here using organic Scottish dyes.
You must be very young. Traditionally Irish male dancers wore a plain kilt and a short cloak in dancing competitions. Also, the Irish Army uniform for pipers and drummers is a saffron kilt, royal green tunic and black beret.
@Evan EU(google) Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom that is variously described as a country, province, territory or region. You're pathetic mate...
@Evan EU you seem to be having a bit of a temper tantrum, what the issue? This is my country your talking about which I don't appreciate, I wouldn't say anything like that about the republic of Ireland.
I am a bit embarrassed by the lack of geographic or cultural knowledge among fellow Americans -- although these seemed like lovely people. By the way, on the Irish language thing, when I was in Dublin I tried an experiment: I asked all the cab drivers and a few other people how to pronounce the Irish name of the city ("Baile Atha Cliath"). I got a different, mutually un-intelligible answer each time. So, apparently pronouncing Irish is not any easier if you are actually Irish.
Some words like grian (sun) Gráinne (Grace) you'll never pronounce if you haven't got them in infancy , the gr sound. Ch from the throat takes getting used to but not impossible, it's my native language, I'm from the west, I'd say baa cl-e-aa to your experiment, melt all the words together lol Tá a fhios agam ( I know) another eg I'd say Tás-Om when talking to family but I'd have to slooow right down for others not from my area to understand
Our traditional pipes are called Uileann pipes.Traditionally kilts are Scottish, but there is a ceremonial rust coloured kilt worn by some band regiments of our Army.
@aontas1 Many don't knoow this, but the Scottish great Highland Bagpipes derived from the Great Irish Warpipes. The only difference are the number of Drones, of wich the Irish pipes had two and the Scots added an additional one for a fatter sound. There's also the Brian Borou's pipes wich are rarely played anymore. They are similar to the aforementioned pipes, but the tuning is different and they have an extended range due to a complex key system on the chanter. The Uilleann pipes ironically derived from a Scottish type of pipes, the Pastoral Pipes. So there was this switcheroo at some point of piping traditions that most people don't know about. I play Uilleann Pipes and used to play the Highland Pipes.
There is only a very small area in Ireland that speaks Irish so maybe a few hundred people so English is spoken by nearly 100% of the Irish. The euro is the currency used in the Republic of Ireland sterling or the pound is used in Northern Ireland (6 of the 38 counties). The flag represents the Irish with the Green, the orange men with the orange and the white is the peace between them.
Just so everyone knows. Irish is our second language. It’s just not as commonly spoken. It was replaced with English when the British suppressed its use.
This made me happy, I loved that you played Mo ghille mear at the start for a second. I'm fairly sure that girl meant the Irish harp btw. Is cuimhin linn agus Tiocfaidh ár la mo drethair

I know it's hard for Americans to see beyond their own country, this is partly down to your education system, media and political establishment (Joe Biden thinks he's Irish??) however that's not to say Ireland is any exception from say Sweden or Australia, here we are culturally drowned in US culture and the UK, and as a small island it is nice to know we're thought of positively by Americans, those outside the fact we are not all raging alcoholics always scrapping.

Do they have geography classes in America? 😂
Yes, but no one pays attention. Hell they can't even list the states.
Yes, we learned about and the location of every country in the world in mine in addition to every US state.
Yeah but honestly we could care less about you guys, lol.
Yeah we learn in like in 7th grade then afterwards you hear nothing else about ìt!
Not much. I'm only fairly confident because I was a map nerd when I was a kid. But once the USSR broke up I was like fuck it.
I'm shocked I thought they don't know that much about ireland
I know a lot of irish, me included, may have watched this and thought "silly yanks" but really, how much do we know about the states, beyond tv land that is?
But you can point to it on a map at least
@@pokemastermlg7435 well, that's true alright!
@@pokemastermlg7435 Yeah but it would be hard to miss. The US is larger than all of Europe combined. It's like asking someone to point out the state of South Carolina.
I'm from Dublin, nice to know we're alcholic leprachauns, speaking a form of French/Scots, using charms as currency 😅😅😅
When they named the flag, I cringed at the fact they thought *Sweden* was *Ireland* These are grown adults geez
This was hard to watch do people not no what the Ireland flag is????😂😂😂 🇮🇪
Know* not "no"
And then these same Americans say they’re 17% Irish and therefore more Irish than me cuz I ain’t white🤣🤣🤣🤣
The charm 😂
Did she just say French 😭😭
The french actually presented us with our flag before our flag green was for the catholics and orange was for the prodestants and white was for the peace between
Northern Ireland is Ireland
No it isn't its a part of the UK and an independent country is like saying that USA and Canada are the same because they are on the same landmass
@@jeffscully5043 Not any more bro the British border is now in the Irish Sea and we call it the North of Ireland not Northern Ireland
@@rafe1016 are you irish lad everybody calls it northern ireland
@@jeffscully5043 of course I'm irish lad northern ireland is what is called by unionists and the North of Ireland is whats called by the nationalists
@@rafe1016 search up ''north of ireland'' and northern ireland comes up
Instead of coal or electric we use turf it's back breaking good money though work y"all I'm Irish come to co loaise Ireland near Offaly in lenster biggest province in Ireland
My dad from Ireland and he says “Those skirts are Scottish, Scotland is not independent so how the bloody hell are they confusing us with Scotland?”
Only one got the capital right. The real capital is Cork. Much respect my friend.
If u come to Ireland get a spicebag
I can't believe they pointed to China! At least the other ones were correct in locating the general area.
When I was in California I had two guys from Seattle ask me where I was from, so I says Ireland, so then they say ..oh Ireland that's in Canada right? No joke.
I don’t think they was being serious…
@@vihailevagi oh they definitely where! That's what i thought too but they where serious.
Wait, Ireland isn't in Canada?
Wait, Ireland isn't in Canada?
Wait, Ireland isn't in Canada?
No one says top of the morning
I cant believe people dont know where Ireland is, crazy. Someone pointed at India, what!
Irish people's main language is French interesting hahaha. I am Irish by the way but if you ask me about any other country I would most likely give similar answers.
7:00 I’m so impressed she actually knew about the Irish pound (Punt) and the Euro!
Love being Irish 🇮🇪
Me too bro 👁️👄👁️

Jeepers the map finding was funny but as a Irish person I would only reconise a few american states on a map.
Can't believe this lol do the teach geography in America?
From wicklow and I'm wondering how many Irish people pronounce Ireland as the people in the video or as our-land cus I say our-land
The third girl on her own is the best
Least they knew a decent amount about Ireland, and the "Charm" being our currency was funny as f*ck haha
I fucking love Americans
I am Irish watching this
not that many Irish people actuly say top a the morning
im irish so thats why i wached this and im like HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHERE IRELAND IS
As an Irishman, I would have liked to know which Irish films that one girl said she liked.
As an American I was thinking the same thing. Not to say that Ireland doesn't have some fine films but not a lot of them make their way to the US.
I'm also from Ireland it's cool kind of
How many lucky charms does the average car sell for in Ireland?
Goodness me America! You did not put in a good showing here. I'm going to go look for British people doing these kinds of tests too for balance now.
you are welcome to Ireland
Jesus, Mary and Joseph
I know it's hard for Americans to see beyond their own country, this is partly down to your education system, media and political establishment (Joe Biden thinks he's Irish??) however that's not to say Ireland is any exception from say Sweden or Australia, here we are culturally drowned in US culture and the UK, and as a small island it is nice to know we're thought of positively by Americans, those outside the fact we are not all raging alcoholics always scrapping.
irish people don't say "top of the morning", but Oirish people do, ☺
