    Irish spelling is actually very logical and highly regular. It might look daunting and strange to an English speaker, but it's far from the mess that is English spelling. Once you learn the rules of Irish spelling (they're not very complicated or numerous), you can read and speak just about any word or sentence you find, despite not understanding the meaning. There are a few, fairly rare exceptions that rely on knowledge of grammar to pronounce correctly, but apart from that, it's easy!

    • @michaelcullen5308
      @michaelcullen5308 3 년 전 +7

      I would agree that it’s logical and regular. But I would also say it’s overdue the kind of spelling reform that English has undergone over the centuries. It might even attract more people to the language if, for instance, Leary wasn’t spelled “Laoghaire”. I know that’s an easy word for natives, but to foreigners it’s impenetrable.

      @mytube001 3 년 전 +16

      @@michaelcullen5308 Irish spelling was last reformed (in a way) within living memory. English, on the other hand, has never undergone a formal spelling reform. English has simply evolved naturally, but due to the significant changes in pronunciation over 800 years, English spelling is no longer phonetic. It hasn't been close to phonetic since the 1300s!
      Irish is probably more phonetic now than it was 150-200 years ago, when it was still widely spoken natively (and monolingually by many), since the writing system today influences new learners.

    To recognise accents properly, you need to have lived in the place the accent comes from. Then you will know the many variations that exist in society strata and place. My soft well spoken Glasgow accent is recognised by Glaswegians, but not the English where I’ve now lived for over 50 years. Some think I'm Irish, and I’ve made mistakes as well. Now I can recognise an accent from a village that’s only 6 miles away, because I worked part time in a bar there in a farming community. The farm labourers spoke quite differently to the London commuters who now live there. I once had an argument with an English person who refused to believe that Hardeep Singh Kholi, a turbaned Punjabi BBC presenter was from Glasgow. I love the Glasgow accents of male Punjabis and girls of Indian heritage. And the accent of a Scottish highland lassie just melts me. I found the soft Irish accent of a Kerry Irish doctor was so nice to listen to, when I visited Kerry. Just ignore political boundaries, it’s the people that matter.

    It's "Irish"! I'm an American raised in an Irish Neighborhood in San Francisco and we had many Irish speakers and learned early that Gaelic was the language spoken in Scotland. She should have corrected the amadán!

    Gaelic is derived from the spelling of Gaelige so for American to call it Gaelic isn't wrong. We refer to it as Scottish and irish Gaelic two different versions but still Gaelic.

    English is my second language and I feel my accent shifting depending on the kind of English I’m exposed to at the moment. When I was watching crown, it shifted toward the British English and now that I’m in love with Moira from Schitt’s creek, it is just weird...

    Conan I spotted an Error!!!! When you said you looked up Conan in Gaelic, it meant "wide head." Well according to Google, Conan, actually is derived from Gaelic, and it means small wolf. Give yourself more credit brother. We share the same birthday too! Take care!! 😄

    • @silverkitty2503
      @silverkitty2503 2 년 전

      it doesn't mean small wolf ....it can't possibly mean anything little if you know the grammar of irish ...every little ends in ín or een ....the diminutive sufix needs to be een or í like coinín which means rabbit completely different sound also slender vowels don't evolve into broad ones easily in irish wolf in irish is mac tíre ...literally son of the land ...Cu means hound or dog ...so it would be closer to hound or dog ..but not little

      @@silverkitty2503 This name derives from the Irish name “Conán”, composed of two Gaelic elements: “cú” (wolf, hound) plus “diminutive suffix (nán)” (little). In turn the name means “little wolf, little hound”. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was the author who wrote the Sherlock Holmes mystery stories. 1) Conan I †992) nicknamed “Le Tort” was the Duke of Brittany from 990 to his death. 2) Conan II of Rennes (~1033-1066) was Duke of Brittany, from 1040 to his death. 3) Conán mac Morna is a member of the fianna and an ally of Fionn mac Cumhail in the Fenian Cycle of Irish mythology. You can't just take the first Google response that pops up. That's why you need to know the origin of the name and not the person. My parents could have named me kunte kinte, I still wouldn't be African.... lol

      @@PureChivalry The surname Conan comes from the Irish surname O Cuanain (O'Conein and MacConein) and is derived from the Irish Cuinin for "rabbit", son of Dugal. im a native speaker ..from the actual gaeltacht my parents speak irish and my grandparents speak it ..so ahem. The idea it comes from Cú makes no sense because Cú has always been an ancient word for hound or domestic dog not a wolfe. Wolf is mac tire ..literally son of the land. Cuinin and o Cuanain ..would sound VERY like conan to an english speaker ...whereas Cú nan ..or whatever sounds nothing like it and makes no sense. Im really quite astounded at the fact that several irish people have said it means rabbit ...and yet all the americans seem to think because they read some crap about a language they dont speak they understand it. Mac Conein ...to you would literally sound like Mc Conan....that is where the name comes from and it means rabbit ...
