hello friends and welcome back to Irish in my heart
and if you are new here, hello and welcome
I will be speaking in Irish in this video
so there are subtitles in English and Irish
if you are on your phone they are here
today I will be doing part 2
of the video about the numbers
the numbers in Irish
the four types of numbers
today we will look at the personal numbers
and the ordinal numbers
different numbers are used when you are counting people
I will give you an example first and then I will explain the rules
one kid, two kids, three kids etc
'kids' was in the plural*
when counting people, the plural genitive form is used
if you are not sure about it
you can go on foclóir.ie and check that
for the most part it's the plural
'páistí' that is the plural
but that is also the form of the plural genitive
the word 'beirt' is feminine
that is the only personal number that is feminine
After 'two' there is lenition
as you have seen, two children
two teachers
two musicians
instead of 'D, S, T'
words that start with 'd, s / t'
for example, two doctors
two parents
that's because of the 'DeNTalS, DoTS' rule
if you haven't heard of that
I can put a link in the description
with more information about it
feminine nouns are lenited after the definite article
so if you want to say "the two of them"
you say 'an bheirt acu'
the two of them
'person' or 'people' is not said after the personal numbers
except for 'one'
one thing, one person
if you say 'one'
one was at the concert
one what?
if you want to say "there were two people at the concert"
there were two at the concert
you don't say "bhí beirt duine/daoine"
at the concert
I will give you another example
one man, two men, three men etc
if it is a vowel, 'daughter for example'
one daughter, two daughters, three daughters etc
eleven to twenty and after that
we follow the same rules from the last video I made
for example, for example
I will do 'duine' (person) because when you say more than ten
you say 'person'
11 people, 12 people etc
as you can see we follow the same rules from the first video
there is séimhiú between 11-16
and there is urú between 17-19
when the noun ends in a vowel
séimhiú 'thirteen'
'duine' ends in 'e' - vowel
so séimhiú on 'teen'
'child' for example, eleven children
twelve children
and so on
we will do a little quiz now
before we do the ordinal numbers
a few of you said that you enjoyed the quiz in the last video
so I would like to do another one
I really enjoyed it, I was excited about that quiz
I do not know why
I knew the answers
but I was excited for you
you are so important to me that I am excited for you
are you ready friends?
first question friends, how do you say, "3 cousins"?
question 2, how do you say '2 brothers'?
no lenition because of 'DeNTalS DoTS'
you don't have to say 'people'
After 'naonúr' 'naonúr' means 'nine people'
I don't know why I have energy now
it's late in the evening but i get my energy in the evening
at night
its a curse
but I accept it
I'm a night owl
a night owl
'
.
I stay up until 2 o'clock in the morning
three o'clock sometimes
that's not good
that's not good I know
but I can't stop
ok ordinal numbers now
'orduimhreacha' that's ordinal numbers first, second, third etc
I will give you an example first as always
.
as you can see, 'céad' is aspirated
after the definite article
and 'bliain' is aspirated
nouns are aspirated after 'hundred'
except nouns beginning with 'd, s and t'
for example, first doctor
.
first doctor
that's too difficult
the first example
not so difficult but 'the first example'
no problem
I can say that without any problem
if aspiration does not help you, there is an exception
if there is a vowel, ' h ' is put before it
you do not put h prefix on vowels in the same place where you aspirate
if you understand
for example,' beautiful '
beautiful
There is ' h prefix ' h on beautiful
beautiful or beautiful
but well
well
you don't say 'go mhaith'
h prefix, aspiration = different
different worlds friends
ordinal numbers + a noun that starts with a vowel
I will use the noun 'uair'
time or hour
the first time, the second time etc
in the Ulster dialect 'darna' is said
instead of 'dara', 'darna'
the 'second' day
when you are talking about dates
say 'first day' for example, the first day of June
.
you don't say 'an chéad de mhí an Mheithimh'
you say 'the first day of June'
so you have to put 'day' after
the first (day)
the second (day)
the third (day)
the forth (day)
the fifth (day)
the eleventh (day)
and after that, the same structure applies
on the twenty-first day
the twenty-second day
and so on
then 'thirtieth'
when ordinal numbers are involved
you don't lenite 'déag'
don't worry
it's time for another quiz
let's go
that's it friends, I hope you enjoyed that video
I hope you understand more about the numbers now
