oh yeah, time to hear some beautiful and flawless pronunciations of irish words by my favourite spooky lads
no one will pronounce them right, you can't if you don't speak gaelic.
@@SpydrXIII Indeed. Just fucking impossible :D It's on the same level with like Finnish in trying to guess how a word is pronounced.
@@SpydrXIII the language is irish, gaelic is the group of languages, also yeah im well aware, im irish and i got six years of classes and i still cant speak it lol
Thing about Irish mythology is that the earliest versions of these myths were written by monks, who wanted to adapt the old oral mythological tradition to fit into the new Christian paradigm, so the orignal gods (which could've been kinda like a race of Olympians) were turned instead into magical, mortal peoples who take turns invading Ireland, and many of the stories and myths were changed. While there are certainly vestiges of original myths and legends preserved in these accounts, we will never have true originals and they will forever be looked at through the lens of Christian writers
The giant stood upon the ridge.
The village slept below.
The weary stars betrayed
the weathered lines upon his brow.
The ocean crashed upon the cliffs;
timeless, day by day.
The people came. The people went.
He scarcely knew their names.
He'd been their strong protector.
Their lives were short and few.
He'd fought and killed to keep them safe.
But now that time was through.
A fever spread amongst his flock.
He knew the men would fall.
He could not stop the murderer.
He was too big. They were too small.
The giant wept in solitude.
The village slept below.
He said his last farewell and turned
for now he was alone.
I haven't hit play yet but as an Irish listener I'll be fierce judgemental today lads
oi - be nice to cultures that dont make the same tongue shapes as you.
Fionn mac Cumhaill is actually read as "Finn McCool"
For anyone who's interested, the pooka was in an old 1950's movie 'Harvey' , and the leanan sidhe was in an episode of the TV show Grimm (but was called a musai instead).
My late dad would always reference the Harvey movie when I was growing up, and I saw the Grimm episode just last week, so I was strangely hyped for those lol
Listening to the descriptions of these cryptids, and looking up some images, it's clear just how heavily inspired by Irish folklore Dark Souls 2 was. Also, the PS3 game Folklore is an interesting interpretation of the Irish fae mythology.
Loooove Celtic & Irish Mythology and so glad to see you guys covering an often overlooked and under appreciated mythology. There's so much to explore here.
I love how an entire patreon tier is to get Jesse to be Winston Zeddemore "if there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you'll say"
YOOO I’m like 15 episodes behind because I was saving the episodes for road-trips BUT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR YEARSSSSSSSSS
Thank you Zaddy Mathas for the offering to your Irish lover.
Okay so I’m not Irish but…
I know a handful of these from the Lost Years of Merlin books. They use a lot of Irish lore.
I don't care how late these uploads are, I will ALWAYS play it again FOR THE ALGORITHM and because Chilluminati is never a bad background sound.
Holy shit TH-cam commercials. Hammering like every five minutes.
Alex should never not be shilling, just the entire episode, while covering snake oil salesmen in 1800s Old West
Molegevolent is definitely a a dark ghost Mole pokemon that pranks people in the forest by digging hidden holes on walkways.
I'm 75% irish. Been to galway to visit my tribe which is large. Been writing back and forth since 1966.
That's some weird synchronicity of Balore getting mentioned just after I defeated Balore in Castlevania Portrait of Ruin :P
or is it? maybe our mind can will things to happen, or maybe coincidences are just that common?
That game is sick! Brings back great memories of much better times. Thanks for the comment!
Great light hearted episode very enjoyable
Shoutout to the Santell episode. Might be the best one you've ever done, certainly my all time fave!
ditto.
I'm far too American to know if anything was pronounced correctly but I loved it none the less!
I thought Dodger was going to do this topic. Oh well. Still good of course.
bug anne for anyone wanting to pronounce it properly.
"Baby Yoda" has a name! It's Grogu!
How do you spell the name of that golden haired giant I'm going insane
.... Legit confused for a minute because Mathas and Santell are the same person to me.
Mike's pronunciation of Caliyah sounds like Finnish "Kaljaa", which means beer :D
I hated Batman v Superman, but the Snyder cut of Justice League is great, worth the 4 hours.
Lame
Dude... Isle of man =/= Ireland 🤣🤣🤣 whole other country, It's like doing a video in irish folklore and the first one is english or scottish.
I'm pretty sure most of the damage was caused by intentional negligence in Hawaii because just think about it, you have rich developers that hated those Hawaii natives/plebs with their non-rich homes just sitting on such high value land but would never sell unless something bad were to happen to them and insurance fucked them all over because they'd never totally take a bribe (shares, profits, share ownership of some land) right... right? Its not that corrupt right? (yes yes it is)
Fb has some great pages on this. Circle Stories, duchas ie. Are a couple.
oh, faith and begorrah!
Names in Irish - they're literally impossible. Lived there a while back and even just human names are unpronounceable if you just don't _know_. Siobhan, Saoirse, Aoife, Ruaidhri, Meadhbh, Caoimhe, Tadhg...
Shi-vaughan, Seer-sha, EE-fa, Roor-ie, Maeve, Quee-va, tie-guh
irish is actually *far* easier to pronounce than english once you bother to know the rules as there might be letter combinations you're not familiar with but they're *far* more consistent than english letter combos
Jesse is in Cyberpunk 2077😎💀🔥
You're a few years late, ma dood.
yes he is.
@@esaedvik the only thing I follow is chilluminati. I even found chilluminati some time after it was started. I always knew his characters voice sounded familiar and they looked kinda familiar but I just never connected the dots. I was also late to cyberpunk 2077 as well.
