*catchy whistling intro music* Hello everyone and welcome to How to Speak
Irish My name is Evan Edinger and this is Sean
Connolly, Connolly's not like too...
it's quite Irish so.
Just as a precursor what I know about Irish so far is uhh
I was gonna visit once, but my mom told me be sure to kiss the Blarney Stone and she
said find a four leaf clover and kay wait, I'm just gonna stop you right there.
Four leaf clovers okay?
No.
They're shamrocks.
Shamrocks.
And there's 3 leaves.
Yeah, but there are 4 leaves sometimes that are lucky
Yeah, but that's an American thing We don't have 4 leaf clovers in Ireland
Ireland doesn't have 4 leaf clovers No we don't
But you still kiss the Blarney stone No but tourists kiss the blarney stone.
What I imagine is some Irish person originally just went "Go on go over there"
*laughter* "Go over there and kiss that rock! and pay
me £10 to kiss that rock.
It's lucky!
pffft" That sounds like a good business venture.
That's the majority of Irish tourism in a nutshell though.
Just getting Americans to "go do that it's for uhh... luck yeah"
I've already learned so much.
Yeah, see.
You don't have zip codes!
Nope.
How do you know where you live in Ireland?
I don't know.
By the REST of the address.
Okay Our post office person just knows where I
am like I live up the mountain a little bit and they just kinda know where we are.
Oh Sean! from on the mountain!
Basically.
That's literally...
oh it's Sean!
I'll drive up here!
Okay so what's the first bit of Irish I should know?
Cause I can speak the Irish accent at all.
Uh huh that was English.
Oh okay!
*mumbles* better than I thought!
We hate the English okay
800 years of oppression Eight hundred years of oppression
ehm okay first bit of Irish.
Okay the Irish language.
I'm gonna teach you how to say hello.
Hello!
Hello in Irish is Dia dhuit.
Dia dhuit.
Yeah yeah that's okay.
Do you wanna know how to spell that?
D uh witch w-i-t-c-h You're not right, you're not right, sir!
It's D-I-A that's the first word.
And the second word is D-H-U-I-T.
Why's it 2 words to say hi?
Because and just to make it even worse.....
Isn't it like top of the morning?
No actually, it's the only way to say hello in Irish and it translates directly to God
Be With You *evil laughter* Take that atheists
But there's literally...
no, seriously.
There's not actual translation for hello.
It's God be with you is the only way to say hello in Irish; that's all we have.
An important phrase that all Irish people must learn...
I think it's second to Dia Dhuit... when you're in primary school in Ireland cause we learn
Irish since we're like 4 and the most important phrase you need is: An bhfuil cead agam dul
go dtí an leithreas Má sé do thoil é.
*jumbled attempt* An bhfuil cead agam dul go dtí an leithreas
Má sé do thoil é.
Do you want to know what that means?
Can I go to the toilet please.
Genuinely that is like the (I THINK!)
Any Irish person out there let me know.
I would just do this *motions with hands what peeing is*
What that's just a...I wanna go swimming I can't control my weiner
*laughter* I wanna go for a swim... in the TOILET
I mean yeah you would've gotten along great in an Irish school.
I think I would've.
Sorry, teacher *makes exaggerated gestures* I GOTTA GO!
Miss, he wants to go to the toilet just let him be.
Another thing about Irish spelling.
How do you think An bhfuil is spelt?
e-n w-h-i-l?
Ehhh no A-N B-H-F-U-I-L
B??!!!
There's no B in the will!
There's no h or f either but it's there!
That's what it sounds like.
*in song* Learning Irish with Evan!
I canny deal with this.
Canny!
Very Scottish of you, Evan.
Oh, I thought that was Irish.
Nooo.
Nooooo.
Scottish thing.
Here's a nice phrase for you.
Say this to an Irish person and you'll get on with them straight away.
Ciùnas bothar cailín bainne.
*nonsense sounds like* Q-Es bone'm colley bone'm
Yeah, that was like 50% of what I said.
*laughter* I can't remember that many words!
Ciùnas Ciùnas bothar bothar cailín cailín bainne bainne.
That's just kindof a general phrase like Hi how are you this is my Irish I'm impressive.
Make sure you say that to...
Q-ee bone'm.
Why do you say bone'm??
Canine bone'm.
Definitely say that.
It's an important phrase.
Q-ew colleen bonya.
Close enough.
So how can I take my British accent and make it sound Irish accent.
Okay so...
Hello I'm speaking Irish.
Personally I don't think I have an accent I think I'm pretty neutral.
You may think differently.
Ehm so just try saying what I'm saying how I'm saying it.
*attempted Irish accent* just try saying what I'm saying how I'm saying it.
That sounds really English though.
I can't do Irish; I can't tell the difference.
Okay just try to do a pirate accent.
*In pirate accent somewhat an Irish accent* Arrrrr, I'm from Dublin!
*laughter* I like Blarney stones!
That's it he has it.
*claps* Thank you for learning how to speak Irish.
Give it a *purposeful Irish accent pronunciation of thumb* thumbs up.
*whimper* *laughter*
Otherwise check out Sean's channel.
It'll be in a little thing.
My next video is going to be me beating Evan senseless for murdering the Irish accent.
Enjoy.
Thanks for watching.
Good bye.
