- A Buntús Cainte lesson for directions and travel in the Irish language.
Máire O’Neill and Aileen Geoghegan introduce this episode of Buntús Cainte with the focus on learning about directions.
Translations are provided in both English and Irish and subtitles are displayed with the correct Irish spelling.
Ó thuaidh... towards the north.
Ó dheas... towards the south.
soir... towards the east.
siar... towards the west.
A series of drawings are used to demonstrate the language featuring characters on their travels to foreign parts.
D’imigh sé ó thuaidh.
D’imigh sé ó dheas.
D’imigh sé ó soir.
D’imigh sé ó siar.
D’imigh sé amach.
D’imigh sé as baile.
The next part of the lessons requires the learner to repeat the phrases.
Ná himigh amach anocht. [Don’t go out tonight].
Imigh abhaile anois díreach. [Go home now directly.]
Bhí sé ag imeacht ón áít sin. [He was going out from that place.]
Ar imigh sé siar an bóthar fós? [Did he go west the road yet?]
Níor imgigh sé fós. [He didn’t go yet.]
Nár imigh aon duine as an áit? [Didn’t anyone leave the place?]
The final part of the lesson involves a conversation between a couple about whether one of their neighbours is ill having seen a doctor and nurse pass the house.

Great video, Ireland from the past from an angle I never saw before.
Those girls look cool and trendy.
They might be the same age as my grandmother but wow those are some fine ladies 😳
Classy looking
D’imigh sé aerach
Many years ago I got slightly lost one wind stormy black night winter whilst as I made my journey from the coast road towards Maam Cross. all ahead of me way a narrow bog road, no street or house lights, only some sheep who were minding their own business as they slept on the side of the road, No house or humans for miles, I pulled off the road a T junction and walked around to see if could find a road sign to give me some direction. from out of nowhere an old black VW came choogling along and stop at this T junction, an old man wearing a hat and smoking a pipe was driving, I knocked on the passenger side window but I did not get the attention of the driver, I could see the old man changing gear and about to take off so I opened the side door, popped my head into his car and as I very politely begin to ask for directions, This made Crazy x F1 driver put the boot down on the accelerator pedal and took off with a squeal from the smoking tyres, I got hit on the side of my head, I fell to the ground a bit hurt, shortly after I began to howl with laughter, I realised that I scared the bejeebers out of that old man, I know that no one would believe this man true story, that someone popped his head into his car and asked for directions, I would not belive it myself if I was not there
Smoke and squeal from a beetle tyres on a black stormy night? Howling with laughter? Mmmmmmmmmmm...... Had a sup in Peacocks yourself? ))))
@@jimmymcjimmyvich9052 Jimmy you must have been the man driving that black VW Beetle on that dark stormy night way out in the wetlands on Connemara
@@jamesbradshaw3389 It was dark blue. I was poaching))
What sketch should we use for "He went east?"
"Draw chinaman"
it was within context of the other sketches, Orient = East , oriental (outdated term)
Tá cosa deasa ag na mná seo 😏
Cool ❤u
Two fine birds!
1:15 a great bunch of lads, though they may not agree with the graphic of the time
How would she say. I went down? ))))))
I remember a Buntus Cainte school book to accompany this Tv series . I still have it somewhere
Groovy...the opening titles are trippy..
I can remember this on RTÉ , I’m getting old 😌
wonderful!
The girl on the right had a Dusty Springfield style hair do
That is so cool!
Buntús Cainte I remember it well. We even had the books to follow along. Máire and Aileen.. Fine girls.
Was 10 years before i was hatched
Too much ankle for 67, but at least we were all going in the right direction
Whith a feeling rare....had to pinch my self to see if I was really there,,,,
But there accents in English . . . so interesting
I bet this got Archbishop McQuaid slamming his fist with fury....
The Bishop used to retreat to his private quarters ever episode to polish up his Gaeilge with his trusted jumbo box of Kleenex by his side for his runny nose.
I remember Buntus Cainte very well. Someone had the daft idea, that they would use the new'ish medium of television to get everyone in the country learning Irish. They also published workbooks to accompany the series. One of the biggest problems was that Irish has three quite distinct dialects, which they fudged into a form of RTE Irish. It became a complete joke, before being pulled off the air after a few series.
Today we would probably say "Tháinig siad ó Thuaidh, ó dheas, soir agus siar" with politically correct captions to suit.
No self-respecting Munsterman would pronounce thuaidh (North) as "hooah"
He went East
