hello and welcome back to Irish in my heart
and if you are new here, hello and welcome
today I will be talking a little bit about my Irish
and about the Ulster dialect
I am buzzing about this video
buzzing
but firstly I have to talk about my Irish
people asked me a few times about my dialect
my Irish
and I said that I had the Ulster dialect
but I wasn't right
I was trying to say that I have the pronunciation from the Ulster dialect
for the most part
I learned my Irish at school
and at school in Ireland you learn the standard
so I don't use every word in the Ulster dialect
and to be honest, when I started this channel
I didn't know a lot about the dialects
about the differences between the dialects
and you don't learn a lot about it at school
I'm not blaming the school by the way
but you don't learn a lot about the dialects
and I didn't know about the amount of words that are in the ulster dialect
words, verbs, grammar rules also
to be honest, I learned a lot more after school
about the dialects
but my pronunciation is the same for the most part
there is a difference between the accent I have and the accent they have
in the gaeltachts in Ireland
but that's the same thing in English also
and even with the Irish from the six counties
it is the same
so where am I now?
well I am very thankful for my Irish
I'm so lucky that I was able to Learn Irish at school
even though I learned the standard
I don't care
I love Irish, I love our language
and that's the most important thing
and I'm here to share my love with yous
and that's the reason that I started Gaeilge i mo chroi
because I speak English most of the time
but Irish is in my heart
and that's my favourite language
I would like to share it with yous
and the Ulster dialect that's my favourite
and I'm working everyday on my Ulster dialect
I am very happy with my Irish now
but I would like to learn the Ulster dialect completely
and today I will be sharing words, pronunciation, verbs
that are unique about the Ulster dialect with yous
the first thing is about accent actually
because they have a different accent
in the Gaeltacht
no. 1 when there is a fada
a fada is pronounced like
that was very strange for my mouth
for example, 'day', I say
it is said 'let' for the most part
day, lovely
'tá' even
I am
that's a thing you'll notice about the Ulster dialect
my food came so I will be running through this video
another thing that I noticed about the pronunciation
it's pronounced like well I need an example
for example, 7
it's pronounced like 'shart'
8 for example, 'ort' (pronounced like that)
and funnier
week
another example, message
message
no.3 some words in the standard and other dialects
open
for example, the shop is open
it seems like there is a 't' there
'going' you don't hear the 'b'
for example 'a gul'
they are going back to school
they are going back
the word 'same'
in the standard and other dialects 'Kane-a'
but in the ulster dialect "kern-a'
for example, at the same time
while in the ulster dialect ' tamilt' (pronounciation)
'tamilt' instead of 'Tamil' (pronunciation)
and the last one about pronunciation
the word for Irish
it is pronounced like 'gale-ig' instead of ..
ok that's the pronunciation, interesting things about the pronunciation
those are special words
now different words
to start, the first thing
how in the Ulster dialect, 'cad é mar'
for example, how are you?
how are you
and notice the way that I'm saying 'cad é'
in the standard, 'cén fáth' is used
and that's the one I use
also/too
instead of 'freisin' that's the standard and I think in Connacht
also
achan instead of gach, that's the standard
everyone, everything
every teacher
everyday
easy, easy
instead of 'éasca'
and easier 'níos fusa'
difficult, difficult
instead of 'deacair'
for example, it's hard to say
it's hard to say
but you always hear 'deacair' in the standard and other dialects
instead of 'déanach'
for example, excuse me for being late
this is an excellent word
I love this word
that's an Irish word
I love it, it's so funny
that's not a word but it is a word
and it's made from the words 'fá dtaobh de'
so you see why
you see that it's a lot easier
to say 'fádúda' instead of 'fá dtaobh de'
that seems stupid
and it means about, concerning
for example, I don't know about it
now some verbs
the first one
in the standard 'is féidir le' is used
but in the ulster dialect
I can go out
we can see it
I will see you soon
'cluin' instead of 'clois'
for example shut up
I think that this is a famous example from the ulster dialect
féach means attempt in the ulster dialect anyway
for example, I watched a film last night
I watched a film last night
and it's seen in the word for 'theatre'
that's another word, theatre
I think that they use 'nua' too but
a new car maybe
news, news
I remember when I was listening to the Gaeltacht radio
'Barrscéalta' (top stories)
and I always heard this word
and I didn't have a clue
and the last one, after
even with the time
and that's it, I will be doing part 2 for sure
because I have a lot of other words
I hope that yous enjoyed this video
and leave a comment what do you think about the ulster dialect
do you like it? what do you think?
and would you like to learn more about it?
I will be saying that word for life
