Instead of Slan when the Goodbye one flipped over, it should have said Buh-bye-buh-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye😂😂😂💚☘️🇮🇪
Best comment! 😂😂😂
I mean, you're not wrong
don't forget to throw in a gobbless
I absolutely love Irish. I really hope they never stop teaching it. I want Irish to come back as a more popular language because it is a beautiful language and it’s OUR language. English isn’t. We should be proud of the language
Yeah i agree. When he was confused about irish being taught in schools, i was like what do you mean. Irish is a main language of Ireland. It should be taught EVEN MORE than it already is because it is, as the main comment said, our language
Gaeilge (pronounced Gwale-ga) is a bastardised version of Gaelic (pronounced Gay-lick)
600yrs after the English invasion the English language was forced on the Irish people.
Today it is our second language.
3:07 because “Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam.”
i went to Ireland in 2017 for a solo trip. best decision ever! everyone was so kind and nice! and so beautiful, very beautiful indeed! i went there to fulfil my dream since i was small and the best times i had! i miss Ireland and i hope i can go again soon!
Dia dhuit a cairde! Is breá liom na físeáin seo, go raibh mile maith agat!!!
I come from Ireland but I moved over here from the UK when I was 11. If you come from another country from 11+ years of age you are exempt from learning irish. Back then I considered myself lucky, but a few years on and still to this day I wish I learned irish. I know a few phrases, such as Dia duit, conas at tu? Failté, Slán, dún an doras etc (sorry if spelling is incorrect) but nothing enough completely understand it. I also live near a Gaeltacht, an irish speaking village called Ráth Chairn. Its one of only 2 gaeltachts that are located in the east of Ireland. A majority of Gaeltachts are in the west
There are relatively few people who speak Irish as an everyday language (about 73,000), but hundreds of thousands more who speak it less frequently. Irish speaking communities (gaeltachtaí) are concentrated mainly in the west of Ireland, and also in cities like Cork, Galway, Belfast and Dublin. I have Irish speaking friends from all these places and regularly visit Donegal, where I speak Irish most of the time. Is teanga bheo í an Ghaeilge fós.
Well Donegal is the Gaeltacht for the ulster dialect .my Irish relatives would use the Munster dialect as that’s where they are mainly from mainly tiobraid arran agus an cabhan agus corcaigh .
I have limited Irish but use it every day at home with my wife and kids. I live in Belfast which is still technically in Britain
Dublin is in the East.
@@ForeignreporterBelfast is attached to the UK.
Ever since June 1922 the rest of the island of Ireland separated from the UK.
Ireland as a whole became separate from the UK.
Northern Ireland is only attached.
The reason they still teach Irish is because when English came over they beat anyone who spoke Irish so basically the English beat the Irish into speaking English because they didn’t like the Irish and they didn’t like the Irish language so the English when they invaded tried to erase the Irish language that’s why they teach it in school now
That is the same with "native American" languages
@shay well said but there’s a word for what you’re describing the English did it’s called deracination look it up . It’s what all oppressors do .
Bastards Béarla
Speaking as someone whose mother's family are Catholics from Tullamore and Mullingar (and enough Irish in my father's side that my combined Ancestry DNA scores 65% pure Gaelic), if you check the 1801 Act of Union texts you see that the Irish were made legally 100% equal in every way to anyone else in the British Isles, at the time of the greatest regional expansion of Industrial power giving general rise out of poverty. Sociopathic and extorting landlords were a minority of the elite. Plenty of Irish lads joined the British Army to fight the Kaiser in 1914. Modern Britain is still full of ordinary people with significant direct Irish ancestry.
Now, after 100 years of separation and full control, Gaelic is only spoken because it (until recently) was compulsory for the Leaving Cert, and because the likes of Clannad/Enya, Celtic Woman (and Amy) make it seem so romantic and attractive.
Preservation is important. Many people have had their language taken away from them and be discriminated against for speaking it. Irish sounds beautiful and I appreciate it so much. Maybe if people use the language it will become more vital again.
Hi Amy there are lots of areas in Ireland that still speak in Irish as their first language, these areas are called the Gaeltacht. There are lots of Irish speaking schools now in nearly every county in Ireland.
Yes I talked a little about An Gaeltacht during the video. There’s an Irish speaking school not far from my home 😊
16:19 that makes so much sense!!!!! Because a phrase people commonly know in Spanish is "Ay Dios Mio" Which I believe is basically "Oh my God". My mind is blown!!!!
I remember hearing growing up that languages have similar words for things 😃
Yeah also "adieu" (an english word) which means "goodbye", that comes from a French word meaning "From God" (À Dieu). Also "oh mon dieu" (might be the wrong spelling) is the French for "oh my God"
Edit: it's also likely that the irish word for God (dia) comes from a latin based language. Most likely French, as there was a lot of French influence in the irish language
I come from NI, During the troubles the Catholic school taught Irish and got Irish holidays but Protestant schools didn't.
I wanted to learn Irish and had to pester my Dad to teach me.
Dia duit. Lol, this is so entertaining. I'm so late to the show. Im currently learning the Irish language and am originally from Wisconsin so her comments on recognizing the Wisconsin accent was funny.
"Toblerone"😂
This was greattttt ❤️☘️
❤️❤️
I’m passionate about every story Ashton 🤙😂
I’m so excited to have found your channel! My husband is 1/4 Irish. His grandmother was from Ventry on the Dingle peninsula. He has a distant cousin who barely speaks English. I think the language is beautiful. The Corrs is one of my favorite music groups & I especially love their songs in Irish even though I don’t know what they’re singing. 😉💗🇮🇪
What a great tshirt!
i am a Brit living in Australia and learning Irish, lol ... while looking for video tutorials i found you guys
my great grandmother was Irish
I like the pun at the end. Ashton took a crack at the craic! 😁💚
Omg I found u guys and I’m so happy I did 😂❤️❤️
Don't forget to subscribe to trilogy media. That is Ashton's channel
Its the same in Wales, they speak Welsh on some programs but the local news is in English with a Welsh accent.
Thats realy cool. Its good that they keep that going
I’m so curious how you two met and how you decided which one of you was going to move!
They both do long distance
We have an Irish TV station and Radio Channel. There are a lot of new schools opening who teach subjects in Irish.
From Boston in Ireland 35 years.
I just found your Channel, and I am absolutely thrilled to find You Both! I’m 6+ months into my relationship with my Belfast boyfriend, and I’m belly flopping into All-Things Ireland. -Maria, Oceanside, CA, USA
This is my favorite series! Love you two! 💜
Great video. Got flashbacks to my leaving cert Irish exam where the examiner asked my what I thought about Bono’s charity work 🙈
I remember you guys from Strampunk Coffeebar and Kitchen, WHOA!! I used to work there :). Good job y’all!!
i played around with Duolingo during the pandemic and stuck with it for over a year -- you nailed it, Amy -- it is the Connaught dialect!
Great video . Gaelic is an umbrella of language s , which include Irish ,Welch ,Scots Gaelic ,& I think the Baske laungauge too , Irish is our 1st laungauge which is why all road signs are in Irish then English. My four little Grandchildren are all fluent Irish speakers ,as they all attend a Gaelscoil (Irish speaking school ) which are now very common here , and to hear them talking it when they're together is just so nice ,it's truly a beautiful laungauge, my eldest Grandaughter who plays the fiddle & piano especially loves Irish ,she says because it sounds so beautiful 😊
Not basque your thinking of breton from Brittany which is a part of france
That's not... Entirely correct, and I'll explain why. In the general area of northwest Europe there is a collection of people known as the "Celts", these are people who's origins are shrouded in a *lot* of mystery although it is commonly believed they originated in central Europe, near the Hallstat region of Austria. Their native languages are Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx (spoken on the Isle of Man), Welsh, Cornish (spoken in southwest Britain) and Breton (spoken in the northwest region of Brittany which is today in France). Of these language there are two specific categories of Celtic languages, the Goidelic or "Gaelic" languages, Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Manx. As well as the "Brittonic" languages of Welsh, Cornish and Breton. So all Gaelic languages are Celtic *but* not all Celtic languages are Gaelic. Hope that makes sense, sláinte! 🇮🇪
I love your videos, I’ve been in So Cal for 20 years now but my Dublin accent is still 💪 😀
In schools now you have irish spelling tests
I just found you two and Amy’s beautiful guitar and voice. Love this channel. I am going to Ireland next month for a couple weeks. I have checked out the apps and other TH-cam videos. Irish is definitely different. I am enjoying how you two are helping me with the language. Thank you. ❤
Transparent Language has a great program that I studied with. I have learned a lot!
14:16 Amy's just thinking, "I'm so proud of you! 😍" 😄❤
I love the videos you and Ashton do together, they are so entertaining. ☺☺💚💚
My kids are named Alana (a leanbh) and Kelan (caol an). I have the year 4 book of Inis Dom. It was pretty cool to be able to follow the lessons!
19:02 I’m glad we learnt young, i’m 16 and i’m basing a lot of my irish off my primary school knowledge haha i don’t understand how the sentences form i just know it
That waiter sounds like Grizzly with his Bro-Ad accent! I missed the premiere as I was called in last minute to work. Nice job guys. Its Yoshi I think it's pronounced yo-shee!
Love you guys❤️
4:41 Giiirrlll same. My language is dying cause of the same reason as you lol
Love seeing this side of Ashton after Trilogy Media. Great videos! Is "Irish" is the same as "Gaelic"?
From what I have read, Gaelic is kind of a broad term because there are versions of "gaelic" from France, Scotland, Ireland and I believe even parts of England and Wales although Wales has a very different language. "Irish" is actually its own language.
@@just_deb Allow me, an Irish boy, to chime in! In the general area of northwest Europe there is a collection of people known as the "Celts", these are people who's origins are shrouded in a *lot* of mystery although it is commonly believed they originated in central Europe, near the Hallstat region of Austria. Their native languages are Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx (spoken on the Isle of Man), Welsh, Cornish (spoken in southwest Britain) and Breton (spoken in the northwest region of Brittany which is today in France).

It was a very cool and very interesting video I did not even know how to pronounce have those words but overall this was a really great video hopefully next time we can learn all the bad words in Irish 😂😂😂 this was interesting and very educational I hope a lot of people learn something in this video ❤️💚🇺🇸🇮🇪
Hang on Ashton, you lost on the second try on the guess the American states! Love this video must try a app or two. Love the vids as always
She is right, Ashton.
Nice video! I am currently taking Irish on Duolingo. It's interesting but the whole eclipsis letter changing this is confusing, but fun. Slan!
It's always a competition, Go Ireland 💚😄
Irish language. 3.05 ish? "Is it still taught? Why?
I was about to respond "Why is Latin still taught?" But you took the words out of my mouth !😊
what about one where you tell him about the famine?
Where I grew up Chez Vous was the name of an indoor roller skating rink!
Haha! In Irish it’s séimhiú 😂
It was in one of the most Irish American neighborhoods in the 60s t0 80s and was just outside Philadelphia. Had a lot of people from County Mayo, including my family (Ballina).
Uru and seimhiu don’t even exist as concepts in English. Irish comes from different family of languages from the Germanic English language. Some craic
Hello from Mayo 😊😊😊
His Irish accent was so good towards the end😱.
My boyfriend is northern Irish and can’t pronounce anywhere near as good as that 🤫
The Ulster dialect (north Ireland) has some pronunciation differences Like Boston compared to Virginian in the U.S. for example Maith in go raibh agut is pronounced as My instead of ma
Hi, thanks for this channel. I was wondering, is it an idea to have separate channels? One withe the great Guitar sessions and one with you guys together? Greetings from te North of Holland, where a lot of people speak Frisian, a bit simular like your beautiful Gaelic....
I'd be down for that
No relation,but i think you mean in terms of a minority language
Great video... Love it... Keep up the great job...
I can't wait to learn more Irish words and how to speak it my boyfriend is from Romania I tried to learn Romanian but Romanian is such a hard language I don't think my boyfriend speaks Romanian anyway cuz he's been in America all his life he was born in Romania but raised in America an American family adopted him
make sure our american friends know the mens toilet in Irish is mna :D
you learn the mother tongue of your country to preserve the culture!
hello from Wexford. speaking english is our main advantage here in Ireland for foreign direct investment and stuff like that
Yay! Another Irish vs. American video! Lol you guys are the cutest couple! Not only is this video fun & adorable, it is educational as well! Amy, you are teaching me so much that I would have never learned before! I love learning & seeing the differences in the countries & how we say things! It's very cool! :D Also the waiter guy who sounded like Crush also sounds like Brandon's "Bro-ad' character xD Another great video! Keep up the fantastic work! Thank you for always putting a smile on my face! I love you Amy & our McSquishy Squad! :)
goodbye in english is also a reference to god. It’s a shortened version of “god be with you”
His pronunciation is pretty good :-) My girlfirend sometimes gets me to say things in Portuguese (she is from Brazil) it is fun but also very hard as so many words have very similar sounds and a slight tone difference could mean a totally different word.
And, just like any other language, Portuguese has dialects. My grandparents were all from the Azores and the accent there is different than either Brazil or mainland Portugal.
The Duolingo accent in the app is very Galway.
You should do Gaa reaction
I think he should of learned what the dada does to the letter😂
Maith an Cailín Amy.
Definitely describing a Southern CA accent, closer to the beach. I will say, us Californians are typically described as speaking a faster and we elongate our words.
Californians speak with the accent that most newscasters use. It is pretty bland, actually. Also, there are different dialects in southern and northern California.
@@pattierotondo1108 There are. I’m from northern CA. Bland and talking like newscasters is a stretch.
Hey guys... follow up on this by reviewing stuff like The Cup Song as gailge (and other songs) and maybe watch some TG4 together. Go raibh maith agat!
Ya’ll come to Nashville sometime.
Slan y’all
I did Latin used to be a Latin mass in the 80s
It is like the Welsh they have they own language. The signs in Wales are first Welsh then English.
As an irish person seeing a non Irish person try to pronounce irish words or not understand the spelling and stuff of the word its kinda weird to me because in so used to it.he did rly well though
I use Duolingo and am 22 levels into it but I find the phrases I have learned to read so far wouldn't be very useful in conversation. I have also found that sometimes the audio voice saying the Irish words isn't very clear and drops off at the end of some words so it is hard to know exactly which word they meant as there are some words that sound similar but have slightly different letters at the end. Ashton did fairly well on his attempts to pronounce those difficult words. I agree that looking at the words gets confusing because there are often so many letters that either are not heard but then others are combinations of letters that change sounds depending on what letter follows them.
Yer man looks like Zack Braff's big brother 😂
Irish vs American is the best but I'm from Ireland so I find them hilarious
Thanks for suggesting Duolingo. Google translate is wrong on some of the translations. Actually Irish language is a beautiful language.
Great craic, as always. The English are responsible for "banning" our language. My seantuismitheoirí taught all of us
Duolingo makes some weird choices on what to teach like.. "the woman is in the fridge" and I have no idea if that's slang or just where Irish women like to be...
I was wondering if you are married to each other. You’re a cute couple.
I am wondering to
Lee Mack said: The Irish language has more syllables, then letters. Is this true?
I love your videos your so hilarious. 🙂❤🇨🇦
Ashton- Commenters put your swords away.
😂🤣😂🤣
Hearing Irish on trains trips me out sometimes. It sounds like garbled English and an American could almost mistaken it for English that they just weren't paying enough attention to tell what was being said.
ó mo Dhia!!! Tá an Ghaeilge ag dul i méid, shíl mé go mbeifeá i bhfad i gcéin. Ó, dála an scéil go bhfuil tú álainn le chéile.
A good word that means something different in Ireland vs America is SHIFT 🤣
i'm in an irish school
Dia dhuit! Conas atá siad?
Don’t use an app if your from the west and want to learn Irish well I’m from the west and if I use an app it’s from northern Irish like caoimhe they pronounce it ceeva the west part of Ireland pronounce cweeva
Can someone pleaaase tell me how to pronounce flidais? I cant find it anywhere :(
She’s wrong or does she not know about the Gaeltachts ? And most of my Irish family can speak it and are fairly fluent and Amy it is on signage every where and what about RTE .
Did you watch the video at all? I literally mentioned all those things - the Gaeltacht, road signs and TG4.
@@AmyMcDonaghGuitar you skimmed over them yes but to say that no Irish person speaks it is clearly as you can see not true yes only those in Gaeltachts use it all the time but it is still an official language of the country and more speakers in the south not really unless Donegal ( ulster dialect Gaeltacht ) will you find northerners speaking it . my cousin is a teacher so she is fluent for that reason alone .
Where in the video did I say that no Irish person speaks Irish fluently? That’s not true so of course I never said that. I specifically spoke about a man who only speaks Irish and never learnt English. And I did mention teachers, I think it goes without saying that you need to be fluent in a language to teach it.
@@AmyMcDonaghGuitar sorry I misunderstood that ! And yes there would be people that would still only speak Irish I’ve heard that the Aran islands have people who have never spoken English at all passing the Irish language down through the families I think I saw a documentary or a video on here about it . Also watched a brilliant Ted talk on the beauty of gaeilge was fascinating . To me if’s a beautiful language that I hope won’t be lost .
21:26 oh so Ashton is Hispanic? I was thinking he was or at least part but he had not brought it up before.
Úsáidim an teanga Ghaeilge i mo shaol laethúil, ach chonaic mé le cúpla bliain anuas an chage laungauge in Éirinn mar shampla an focal sha, ní úsáidtear a thuilleadh mar sin, ciallaíonn an focal slang Béarla / uk tá in Éirinnis teanga anois
💖💖💖💖
So is the Irish language different from Gaelic?
Gaelic is a cover term referring to three Celtic languages - Irish, Scottish and Manx
What is Manx? Whales?
It's 'yosh-ee' . Amy is right
2:40 fun fact... Irish isn't actually the language.
Gaeilge (Irish) is both the language and the people.
Is breá liom do dheirfiúr físeáin. Tá súil agam gur féidir leat Gàidhlig a mhúineadh d’fhear céile. Ádh mór mo chairde
The reason Irish is still taught is because a land without a language is a land without a soul
Agreed! I’ve been relearning it the last 2 years 💚
Dio is”God”
Sounds close to Spanish, Dios is God in Spanish
Nì maith liom gaeilge
Foglam mè àr scoil ach tà sė go ana dona
Why do you refer to the language of Ireland as speaking Irish? Shouldn’t it be Gaelic?
