Fòram na Gàidhlig

Hi guys, It was very sad to hear the news about the death of the last Leinster native Irish speaker. There's still a small Gaeltacht left in Rath Cairn(County Meath)Leinster, albeit the people that live there are native Connact Irish speakers. The Meath Gaeltacht is the smallest Gaeltacht area and c...

Hi Gaeilge Abú Conas atá tú a chara? :D I agree with you totally. There's a huge similarity between both languages, similar to the relationship between Dutch and Afrikaans. As you probably know already, Seachtain na Gaeilge releases a CD every year with a load of songs(in Irish) from contemporary mu...

I just had a brilliant idea. :D A new youth chart music radio station broadcasting entirely in Irish is up and running and is doing quite well. Check it out! http://www.raidiox.com/ (Click on "Éist" button) Wouldn't it be great if there was a radio station online, 50% of the broadcasting s...

Dia dhuit, a Ghaeilgeoir. Conas atá tú? Gabhaidh mo leisgeul, a h-uile duine, ach tha mi a' sgriobhadh 'sa Bheurla cuideachd... First off, it's indisputable that Irish is in a much healthier position than Scottish Gaelic is at the moment. Whereas 30 years ago, there was doubt about whether Irish wo...

Maith thú a Sheonaidh ! :) Aontaím leat ! - I agree with ya It's strange to think that only 1% of the Irish population is Irish native speakers, the same as the number of Gaidhlig speakers however another 350,000 Irish people can speak Irish fluently both North and South of the border and up to almo...

Hi guys. There's a new Irish magazine "Nós" for young people which is very good and they even do a monthly segment in Gaidhlig, I thought it might be of interest to ye guys: The article(about a Gaidhlig musician in Seattle) in Gaidhlig is on page 7 of this month's edition: http://www.nosma...

Tá mé ceart go leor mar is gnách

Agus tá mé ag obair faoi láthair agus tá sé an-leadránach.


I'm alrite as usual

And I'm at work at the moment and it's very boring

Thank you all for your help! Turns out, disappointingly, that it was supposed to be Dutch though it was so poorly pronounced that not even the native speakers could recognize it as their mothertongue! Translates into "friday, neighbourhood park, no cameras". Yeh so I got it right. I knew ...

I would say Swedish.

I heard the word "Vrijdag"(Friday)

and the verb "parkeren" (to park)

So it could be Dutch or Swedish.

Is cuimhin liom go maith an grúpa Gaelic Rock "Hoi Polloi" ón Alban. Féach ar an naisc seo thíos: http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=4RSgPlRv4qk (Hoi Polloi) Na blianta i ndiaidh "Hoi Polloi", tá grúpaí Éireannacha ag déanamh amhlaidh :lol: http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=Fspft1348-E&am...

:D Dia Dhaoibh! Ba mhaith liom ceist a chur oraibh. Céard a cheapann sibh faoi todchaí an Ghaeilge agus an Ghaidhlig? An ndéantar iarracht maith chun tionsnaimh idir an dá réigiúnacha teangacha a chur faoi lán seol agus a fhorbairt? Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil Iomairt Cholm Chille ann. Ach an ndéanann...

Níl mé ach ag déanamh tada.

Tá mé ag dul chun cupán tae a fháil.

Ar mhaith libh cupán?

Nílim ach ag tógáil an p*ss, mar a déarfá


I'm doing nothing.

I'm gonna go for a cup of tea.

Would ye like a cup?

Ciamar a tha sibh? Conas atá sibh? Is mise Tomás. Táim tar éis an Fhóram seo a fháil amach ar an t-idirlíon. Is Éirinneach mé agus tá chónaí orm faoi láthair i mBaile Átha Cliath. Ní fíor-Gaeilgeoir mé, is as Chontae Thiobraid Árann sa Mhumhan ó dhúchais mé. Tá céim agam i Fraincis, Gearmáinis agus ...
