tasha039 · 09-06-2003, 12:18 AM

coop- is that like an overseas education thing? Hey, how many people in Ireland actually speak Gaelic. Is it important to know if you go there?

Aisling · 09-06-2003, 06:43 AM

i do!!! not that many people do anymore. and we who do are mostly in the west. and over here its spelled gailge pronounced gail ga

Aisling · 09-06-2003, 06:44 AM

oh can i teach you some irish?!? oh please!!

tasha039 · 09-06-2003, 11:24 AM

okay...I am a melting pot of languages. You name it, I probably know serveral words from it. I looked up gailge and they did not have pronounciations so I was a little confused.

LisaOBrien · 09-06-2003, 05:23 PM

first off lads...it's GAEILGE!
yeah learning the phonics of irish is hard..but i love it. knocks the socks off the americans though...they have no clue...feel free to ask any questions tasha.

LisaOBrien · 09-06-2003, 05:24 PM

LisaOBrien · 09-09-2003, 03:36 PM

"Tasha is ainm dom"

tasha039 · 09-09-2003, 05:46 PM

Yea!!! Tasha is ainm dom (now if I only knew how to pronounce it) It almost look latin. Crazy. How do you say "hi, how are you?"

LisaOBrien · 09-09-2003, 07:47 PM

tasha039 · 09-09-2003, 11:36 PM

gally45 · 09-10-2003, 04:22 AM

Ta mo craoi briste bruite agus ba maith liom fear eireann no (american) deas...........thats roughly right I think!

FredDaNinjaPunk · 09-10-2003, 09:43 AM

Very close I'd say Gally

maybe it'd be "fear deas Eireannach no Meirceanach" instead tho?

FredDaNinjaPunk · 09-10-2003, 09:52 AM

Its so useful over here...I wouldn't be totally fluent or anything, but I could get the point across.

...got caught out one day on the T tho!!
Me and my friend were just saying how nice looking this girl on the train was (using Irish)...next minute she tuned around and said "Go raibh maith agat!" (meaning thank you) -----> [img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img] [img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img] [img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img] [img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img] [img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img] [img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img] [img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img] !!!!
She didn't look Irish!!

megan · 09-10-2003, 10:21 AM

hahaha. that is too funny paudie.

i want to learn irish! i guess that is just more incentive for me to move there.

FredDaNinjaPunk · 09-10-2003, 10:41 AM

Yup, thought we were bein real smart talkin at the top of our voices in Irish and then....'caught rotten'!!

gally45 · 09-10-2003, 10:43 AM

Jesus she stung you! I used to do the same at work over there some of the girls I was working with would take this piss in spanish and I'd take the piss in irish they thought I was fluent!

FredDaNinjaPunk · 09-10-2003, 11:02 AM

Ahh, it wasn't that bad...it was funny more than anything!! Its a great language though...I wish I was fluent.

LisaOBrien · 09-10-2003, 10:13 PM

i love the ole irish....

kavu478 · 09-10-2003, 11:14 PM

hey, totally off the subject n'all but...how in the world do you use the whole avatar thing? I'm looking for some other choices...

anyone know?

tasha039 · 09-10-2003, 11:57 PM

Alan (therescueblues) helped me get mine. I had to give him my password so he could go in and do it for me since I am freakin dunce when it comes to computers. After that, he changed my signature and it stayed like that for two weeks...bottomline, try and do it yourself. You have to find your picture. Copy, remember the exact address above, go to your profile and insert address in the bar provided and hopefully your picture comes up...ask Alan if you get messed up.

administrator · 09-11-2003, 05:49 AM

well if you find a picture you like somewhere online, right-click on it and select properties. you can then copy the address/URL and just paste that into the section in your profile. hopefully that will work for you

megan · 09-11-2003, 11:52 AM

you can also upload a picture from your computer if you have one. just go into your profile and click on the "browse" button in the avatar section. it will allow you to search your computer. be advised, though, that it does change the size down to 64x64 pixels. so if it's not a square already, it's going to get warped.

marina · 09-18-2003, 11:58 AM

wierd my moms relations in NY are Gleeson also, I only know one of them (John) and he lives in Times Square.

Aaah cant beat the auld bit of Gaeilge, used to hate it in school and now that I dont study it anymore I want to know more of it!! Deadly for piss taking when you're abroad

tasha039 · 09-18-2003, 11:37 PM

I am assuming NY is a big spot for Irish people. I notice a lot of you have been there. That or Boston.
