Dia duit, agus fáilte go Gaeilge i mo Chroi.
Hello and welcome to Irish in my heart
This is the second time that I’m recording this video
Because for some reason it’s stopped the first time
I did the whole video without even checking
So please watch this video, I would really appriciate it
So today the topic of this video is weather
So I’m going to teach you how to describe the weather in Irish
So in Ireland we don’t need many words to describe the weather
Because we really only have one season
And it’s rainy every single day
So first of all, I’m going to tell you
If you want to describe the weather in the present, future or past tense
I’m not going to get too much into the tenses
Just for the sake of this
I just thought if you want to say
How the weather was yesterday, today or tomorrow
This is how you say it
For “it is” in today, you say “tá sé”
For tomorrow, you would say “beidh sé”
For yesterday, for “it was”, you would say “bhí sé”
And then you need the three words for yesterday, today and tomorrow
I’ve already posted these on my Instagram a couple of weeks ago
So if you’re not following that, then please go ahead and follow it
I will have it on the screen and link it in the description
I make Irish posts almost every day on that a kind
So if you’d like to learn more Irish then please give a follow
The words for yesterday, today and tomorrow, just to recap, are
“Inné” for yesterday
Today is “inniú”
And tomorrow is “amárach”
I’m going to start by telling you the word for weather
So the weather in Irish is “an aimsir”
The word for dry is “tirim”
If you want to say it is dry, you say
Tá sé tirim inniú, it is dry today
And “Bhí sé tirim inné”, it was dry yesterday
And “Beidh sé tirim amárach”, it will be dry tomorrow
The word for wet is “fliuch”
The word for hot is “te”
If you want to say it’s raining, like I do every single day
The phrase is “ag cur báistí”
Tá sé ag cur báistí
Bhí sé ag cur báistí
Beidh sé ag cur báistí
To say cloudy, you say “scamallach”
Stormy, you say “stoirmiúil”
Windy, you say “gaofar”
Sunny is “grianmhar”
Snowing is “ag cur sneachta”
And the word for fog is “ceo”
I’d like to give you a few phrases to kind of describe it nicer
So if you want to say that there wasn’t a cloud in the sky
Nil aon scamaill sa speir
“Nil” is the negative present tense
“Aon” means any
“Scamaill” means cloud
“Sa speir” means in the sky
If you want to say there’s a strong wind blow
Tá gaoth láidir ag séidiú
“Gaoth” is wind
“Láidir” is strong
“Ag séidiú” means blow
Tá gaoth láidir ag séidiu
If you want to say the sun is splitting the rocks, then you would say
Tá an ghrian ag scoilteadh na gcloch
“Ghrian” is the word for sun
“Ag scoilteadh”, splitting
Rocks, “na gcloch”
Tá an ghrian ag scoilteadh na gcloch
There’s a thick fog, you would say
Tá ceo tiubh ann
“Ceo” is fog
“Tiubh” means thick
And “ann” means there
Tá ceo tiubh ann
Like I said all these phrases depend on tense
You are putting them into
If you want to say it was yesterday, today or tomorrow
So I hope you enjoyed these phrases
And I know there’s a lot of vocabulary, a lot to take in
But just watch the video a few times, go back over it
And you’ll pick up a few phrases
We don’t use many of these in Ireland to be honest
It always amazes me for a country
has such a little change in the weather
that people are always commenting on it
Like “it’s freezing today”
And I’m like “it’s freezing every day”
