Póg mo thóin
March 15th, 2009I have a copy of Rosetta Stone. This is a language learning software. I also got the Irish language pack with it along with 11 other languages. The Irish language is a beautiful thing. It rolls off the tongue so easily.
Póg mo thóin.
See what I mean?
One thing I have learned from this is that the Irish accent makes alot of sense in the context of the Irish language. See, most of the time the accent is on the first syllable and with that knowledge it’s easy to see why the Irish mis-pronounce so many words.
They pronounce Trash Cans… Bins
Where we might say that fellow is a, ‘jerk’, they say he’s, ‘a proper cunt’.
We say it’s freezing outside and they say, ‘It’s fuckin’ chilly today’.
See what I mean?
The Irish language is something I’m working on learning so fuck this noise I’m off to throw some Britneys down my Gregory. I’m learning.
I’ll finish with some common Irish sayings…
Póg mo thóin
Tiocfaidh ár Lá
Ná bí i do bhod bacach
Armáilte go dtí na cluasa
ís aít an mac an saol
Is é Dia amháin a thabharfaidh breithiúnas orm
And I’ll leave you with my favorite…
Ná cailligí an craic
