What a lovely way to share his love for you. Your dad is a sweetheart

thanks thats the easiest to remeber & say for this irish American yank going to use that now for all my loved ones

No, that translates as 'I have love for you.'

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it!

I my self have no clue either! But, my Irish sister is flying back to the states this coming Friday! LOL!

@@The_Gallowglass thank you - good to know you were paying attention ;)

@@The_Gallowglassyea, rather fundamental!

@@markc1234golf Fáilte you are welcome. We are glad you found us!

Fáilte - Welcome. UKposts does work in mysterious ways doesn't it! Glad it sent us our way!

We are so happy to help :) And wonderful to hear you can put your Irish to good use ;) Slám from Chilly Dublin.

Go raibh maith agat!

Translation is endlessly fascinating. Each language has unique nuances

croí is "heart" and is pronounced kree as indicated, but mo chroí is "my heart" and the modifier 'h' changes the sound for the possessive form. It is more noticeable when talking about his and hers: his heart "a chroí" her heart "a croí". You will be doing very well if you learn enough Irish to worry about getting those details precisely correct.

I like that sound too. :)

There's no letter k in the irish alphabet (nor j, q, v, w, x, y and z!). Only 18 letters in the alphabet. Although that's changing somewhat with translations of modern english words

@@diarmuidgrimes8766 Welsh added the letter "J" at some point.

Estonian? Beautiful

I'm so sorry for your loss. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

Go raibh maith agat

@@MyIrishJeweler Táim ag foghlaim Gaeilge trí chúrsaí ar líne faoi láthair. Go raibh maith agat as an bhfíseán seo a dhéanamh. Cuidíonn sé le cloisteáil go bhfuil sé á labhairt seachas é a léamh ar ndóigh. Haha

@@basquehound1999 Maith thú agus go n-eirí leat!

@@MyIrishJeweler An as an teanga ó dhúchas thú?

Which dialect? Region?

We're very proud of our native tongue

Fáilte! 😊

yep , did you know when victorian britian was ehtnivally cleansing with gusto that one of the gallic/gaelic words for love was "Gaol" and the tans used it for Jail ..bal lad of read ing Gaol by oscar wilde froze this in time and his detractors hadnt a clue .. regarding your original question ... it means there is love at me upon you .. or to edge it down.. I have love for you , now it could also be anintrodcutory .. teh plain ould I fancy ya .. as with everything ..the tone and the look between the eyes is what counts ..

Yes it does. "I have love upon you". I was born in Belfast myself and went to the first Irish language bunscoil up there

Yes, I think "Mo ghrá thú" is very appropriate for an "I love you" that is not intended in a romantic way

I ngrá, go deo!

Fáilte! Lean ort leis an cleachtadh 👏

I think that would translate to "I like you" but is brea liom is used more for objects/food rather than people. My advice is try to use one of the examples in the video, they are lovely ❤

I agree with @mscrazymadness that "Is breá liom thú" is more commonly used when referring to things you really like. For example "Is breá liom tae" (I really like tea!). You can certainly use it in a song if it fits the tone and rhythm. Don't forget the 'h' in thú. It changes the sound from "too" to "who"

Yes, I learnt my Irish in schools in Belfast and Dublin. My entire education as gaeilge, even Maths! And yes, I'm sure it sounds very different to the dialects in true gaeltacht areas in Ireland, both now and in the past

Yes, you could say "Is breá liom thú"! Which would sound like "Iss Braa Lum Who"

​@@MyIrishJeweleror even "Iss bryaw lyumm hoo".

Ah, I just listened back. It does sound like I said pós. But I said the english word for "chuisle", which is "pulse"

Fáilte

You are too kind

Only non Irish folk or Gaeilgeoirs say Gaeilge. And if you’re a Gaeilgeoir from Munster you’ll most likely say Gaelinn. But basically no one calls it Gaeilge.

In Connemara. It's the genitive case that is used for the nominative there as well.

Irish is what it is called in English usually.

In school, the subject was taught as "Gaeilge". But we mostly ask each other "Do you have any Irish?"

​@@MyIrishJeweler A lot of Ulster and Munster speakers still use the genitive case so they would say Conradh na Gaeilice in Ulster, and Conradh na Gaelainne in Munster, Gaeilic and Gaelainn in the nominative and dative. Tá Gaeilic agam nó Tá Gaelainn agam. They only use Gaeilge the old genitive in Connemara for all cases.

Oh, our website was founded to connect the Irish diaspora with their heritage, through fine Celtic jewelry. We began by speaking to the millions of Irish in the United States. For this reason, we mostly use American-English in our communications. And that is why we are My Irish Jeweler first (and My Irish Jeweller second)

got you mate😁@@MyIrishJeweler

Thank you, that's fascinating, I must read up on that. The english r sound is certainly dominant among gaelic speakers in Ireland today. No doubt as you say, due to the influence of the English language

Andrei That is because there is an ancient spiritual connection between the Irish and the Russians....as told to us by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi,a Divine Incarnation of the Great Mother

Yes, I learnt my Irish in schools in Belfast and Dublin. My entire education as Gaeilge, even Maths! In common with most people on the island of Ireland today, my day-to-day language is English. The same was true of my teachers. Every language evolves with time, and Irish pronunciation has certainly evolved under the influence of English

@@MyIrishJeweler but why not switch to rolling R when speaking Irish? It's a pretty easy thing to do for a person who's mastered all the other sounds perfectly. All those mh bh aoi whatever are far more complicated than R.
