I'm learning Irish. I won't feel comfortable in the language until I can swear. To this end I've just learnt this and thought you, as a discerning and loquacious vocabulist would like also to know:

i mo phol
[pronounced ih-mo-ho-ul]
Meaning "in my hole"

It's one of my favourite go to phrases in English. It's said like you might say "my arse" when saying something isn't true.

More updates as and when they arise.

"It is as if the syllables of Irish have more space inside them....I can only explore the outsides of such words." —Tim Robinson

#books #reading #TimRobinson #Connemara #Ireland #Irish #Gaeilge #phonology #language

Cover of Tim Robinson's book Connemara: The Last Pool of Darkness (its subtitle taken from Wittgenstein's description of the place). A lovely landscape photo by Edmund Nägele fills the cover. The bottom two thirds show a still pool, the foreground surface coloured by water-lily leaves, a mix of pale green, yellow, and orange. Beyond the pool is boggy ground with tall grasses and a lone low rock. Behind it is a dark mountain range below a pink and grey cloudy sky with a tiny patch of blue. At the top is a blurb by Robert Macfarlane: 'One of the most remarkable non-fiction projects undertaken in English'.
'The traditional singing of the West of Ireland called sean-nós, the old way, sounds strange to our ears, as it uses modes other than the major and minor ones we are familiar with, but it is worth persevering and learning to appreciate its expressive qualities. These are uniquely allied to the rich and complex phonetics of the Irish language. Hear the difference between ‘Captain O’Malley’ and, properly pronounced, ‘An Caiptín Máilleach’ — it is as if the syllables of Irish have more space inside them. In fact there are Irish words so spacious you could hold a céilí dance in one syllable and a wake in another, without mutual interference. The art that explores these spaces inside words is sean-nós. In print, and in translation, I can only explore the outsides of such words.'

Fluent Irish speakers, honest question, what do you think when you see someone badly attempting to speak/write in irish?

Id like to try to practice putting things into irish but I've this block that goes beyond fear of getting it wrong (and I will get it wrong thats how I learn) , where I feel like Im going to get a hostile or judgemental reaction from fluent speakers.

Id like to know how accurate or not this feeling is. If its an internalised shame or real external phenomenon? #Gaeilge

In the early modern period Irish speakers were maligned as 'wild Irish', 'barbarous', 'uncivilised' etc. in a campaign to damage the language.
Unfortunately, you'll find people who still think it's acceptable to put down #Irish & its speakers in the 21st C.

Well, I'm afraid that I'm not able to read #gaeilge yet but qualifying books:

@nichorra wrote Elysium, set in Cork. #LGBTQ

Fierce New World is a short story compilation by Irish writers.

@spongepaddy wrote Hollow Oaks which is a modern fantasy (CW for violence in parts) but very readable and #trans friendly

I haven't worked my way through "Space Navigator and other stories" yet but I believe that is Scifi.

Far be it from me to question Robin Fowler's translation, but the original reads a little differently to me.

"bhíodh a thurus ins gach áit agus fágann an turusóireacht breall go minic ar ghnóthaí eile; agus, go minic, gan mórán de bharr a lán aca."

"he used to be calling in everywhere, and the rambling often left other activities neglected; and, often, with little to show for many of them".

@psneeze I challenged chatGPT on it and it admitted there was no short story called "The Adventures of Oisín to the Island of Youth" or "Imtheachta Óisíní chum an Úbhla" that features a character named Peadar. LOL.

#Gaeilge #ChatGPT

Me: What is the name of the Irish language short story where a man travels into the future on his currach?

ChatGPT: The name of the Irish language short story where a man travels into the future on his currach is "Imtheachta Óisíní chum an Úbhla" ("The Adventures of Oisín to the Island of Youth"). The story was written by the famous Irish author and poet, Seán Ó Ríordáin, and was first published in 1944. The story is a modern retelling of the ancient Irish legend of Oisín and Niamh Chinn Óir, and tells the story of a man named Peadar who travels to the future on his currach and discovers a utopian society on the island of youth.

Me: Is that the one where the main character is not happy with the future and wants to travel back?

ChatGPT: No, in "The Adventures of Oisín to the Island of Youth" (Imtheachta Óisíní chum an Úbhla), the main character Peadar is initially fascinated by the utopian society he encounters in the future. He spends some time there, enjoying the advanced technology and the peaceful way of life, but eventually becomes homesick and decides to return to his own time. The story ends with Peadar arriving back in his own time, but with the knowledge that the utopian society he visited still exists, waiting for someone to discover it again in the future.
Me: That can't be right. Seán Ó Ríordáin didn't publish anything until 1952.

ChatGPT: I apologize for the confusion. You are correct that Seán Ó Ríordáin did not publish any work until 1952. "The Adventures of Oisín to the Island of Youth" (Imtheachta Óisíní chum an Úbhla) is actually an old Irish legend that has been passed down orally through the centuries. It is believed to have been first written down in the 16th century by a scribe named Seathrún Céitinn, in his history of Ireland, "Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" ("The History of Ireland"). The story has been retold and adapted by many writers and storytellers over the years, including Seán Ó Ríordáin, but he did not write the version that features the character named Peadar. I apologize for any confusion my previous response may have caused.

Me: What was the name of the short story with Peadar in it?

ChatGPT: I apologize for the confusion earlier. There is no short story called "The Adventures of Oisín to the Island of Youth" or "Imtheachta Óisíní chum an Úbhla" that features a character named Peadar. "The Adventures of Oisín to the Island of Youth" is an old Irish legend that tells the story of the hero Oisín who travels to a magical island of eternal youth. The story has been retold by many authors and storytellers over the years, including W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, and others. However, there is no version of the story that features a character named Peadar. Once again, I apologize for any confusion earlier.

Does anyone remember the Irish language short story about a guy who travels to the future in his currach?
He finds a perfect world where all his needs are met but it's too perfect and he decides to come back.
It's scifi which is why I remember it, and it was on the Leaving Cert in the 90s.

ChatGPT says it's "Imtheachta Óisíní chum an Úbhla" by Seán Ó Ríordáin, 1944. I can't find that anywhere. Did it make that up? It even says the main character is Peadar! Not Oisin.
