That's funny I was just looking him up last night to see what he's been up to.

Just drives you crazy. I'd hate not to be Irish and trying to learn it.

Beidh si ag baisteacht (It was raining - always handy when you live in Ireland!)
Ta siad ag teacht (They are coming)

Stuff like that. I wouldn't be able to understand or hold a conversation with a proper Irish speaker, but I could probably pick out some words/phrases and get the general gist.

Slan leat! (Goodbye)
Do you know this Gaelic phrase, "mac an abu"?

My friend in high school could speak a bit of gaelic. It's ridiculous as a language, especially with the limited writing aspect.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

I'm assuming that's "Son of Abbot". Either that, or "Son of Apu"... Don't worry, your review is pending...

Lol. I was asking cause I wanted to know if that was true. Cause that's where I got the name from.

I went to a night class that was an introduction to Gaelic. The first half was on spelling and pronunciation and the other other half was on phrases. All I remember is Dia dhuit but I haven't meet anyone Irish who understand that phrase. the language is filled with odd rules like Maureen becomes [Waureen] in the genitive or dative case or something like that. And another thing I learn which I thought was interesting no one in Ireland is called Erin or Colleen. Oh yeah one more thing the "h" makes the letter before it silent, the "h" replace the diacritic circle on top of letter to mark consonances that had stopped being pronounce.

Dia dhuit is a way of saying hello. Dia is God and duit is you, so (you're right; it's a ****ed-up language) with the "h" in duit it becomes, literally "God be with you". Wtf is wrong with "Hi" or "Sup"?

Despite its oddities and its perplexity I don't hate it. I believe it was created to be sung, not for scholarly pursuits. It's one of my favorite (foreign or non-English) languages when sung.
