welcome back to Irish in my heart
and if you are new here, hello and welcome
I will be talking in Irish in this video
but don't worry there are subtitles
well, here if you are on your phone
'cc' little button 'cc'
and there are subtitles in English and in Irish
in this video, we'll be looking at the numbers in Irish
I made videos about the numbers, the numbers without a noun after
2 years ago I think
but I wasn't happy with it so I deleted it
but don't worry, I'm making it again
and better
there are 4 kinds of number in Irish
cardinal numbers when there's not a noun coming after them
cardinal numbers - when there is a noun coming after them
personal numbers - when you're counting people
and ordinal numbers - that's dates 1st, 2nd, 3rd, things like that
today we'll see cardinal numbers when there's no noun after and there is
what are the 'maoluimhreacha'?
well first I'll say the numbers and then
I'll give you a couple of examples
one
two
three
four
five
six
seven
eight
nine
ten
in Ulster dialect 'a seacht', 'a hocht' is said (like that)
but in other dialects, they say 'a seacht', 'a hocht' (like that)
eleven
twelve
thirteen
fourteen
fifteen
sixteen
seventeen
eighteen
nineteen
twenty
it's very bright, and my eyes hurt
and then twenty one
twenty two, twenty three
and so on
thirty
forty
fifty
sixty
seventy
eighty
ninety
one hundred
thousand
million
if you're a beginner
you can put this video back
and listen again
but those are the cardinal numbers without a noun directly after
these numbers are used when you're saying the time
when you're saying the number of the page
or a number, a phone number
for example, page 5
page 5
page 11
it's two o'clock
it's ten o'clock
I have a video about the time
if you are interested I will put a link here and in the description
now, the most important thing
more important maybe than the numbers without a noun directly after
because those numbers aren't too hard
but the cardinal numbers with a noun after
a few numbers change
one, two, four
if there's a noun coming after
'a haon', 'a dó, 'a ceathair' are not said
these numbers change
for example, one, 'a haon' changes to 'one'
'a dó' changes to 'dhá'
in Ulster dialect 'dhá' (yA) is said but
in other dialects, 'dhá' (ggA)
and four, 'a ceathair' changes to 'ceithre'
I will use a noun
and I'll go from one to ten
and then I'll explain the rules
a few things to explain then
one, one comes after
one car
'aon charr amháin' is said too
you don't have to put 'aon' before it
I don't put 'aon' before it
but if you want
one car
séimhiú/lenition on 'car'
from 2 to 6
after 2,3,4,5,6
there's séimhiú/lenition on the noun
and after 7,8,9,10 there's urú/eclipsis on the noun
if you're not sure about séimhiú (lenition) or urú (eclipsis)
I made videos about these things
I'll put the link in the description
notice also that the noun is in the singular
it's always like that
when you're counting a thing
it stays in the singular
I will give you another example
after 10, this is the structure
if there's a vowel, there's no séimhiú (lenition) of course
because there's no séimhiú (lenition on vowels
but after 7,8,9,10
there's n-
I will give you all another example
'úll' for example 'apple'
we will do a quiz now
I'm excited
I love a quiz
are you ready friends? the first question
how do you say 'two things'?
and the right answer
'dó rud' isn't correct because 'dó' is a number that doesn't have a noun after
'dó rudaí' is not correct because
'dó' is a cardinal number that doesn't have a noun after and
'rudaí' is plural
question 2, how do you say '1 o'clock'?
.
'maoluimhreacha' are used when the time is given
question 3, how do you say 'four countries'?
C. four countries, 'ceithre' is a cardinal number which takes a noun after
there's séimhiú (lenition) after 'ceithre'
and 'tír' (country) is in the singular
question 4 how do you say 7 songs?
seven songs, there is urú (eclipsis) after 7
but it's a vowel so we add 'n-'
and the last question
number 5, how do you say '10 minutes'?
deich mbomaite, there's urú (eclipsis) after ten
and 'bomaite' (minute) stays singular
I hope that you enjoyed this video
I hope that it was useful to you
I will be doing part 2 with the personal numbers and the ordinal numbers
