“where’s me bleedin phone?” or “That film was bleedin deadly”. Can basically be shoved into a sentence anywhere. Bleedin: Used descriptively but not literally. Example, on a sunny day down by the canal, “Will we grab a bag of cans? Ah sure, we have to, for the day that’s in it!”. – For the Day That’s in it : Considering the type of day that it is. ** Planning on booking day tours during your time in Ireland? Then check out all the options HEREon GetYourGuide, one of my favourite tour sites. Many a time I have used this phrase only to be met with confused faces asking me what exactly I gave the person. – I gave out to him: This is not sexual! This simply means “I told him off”, or “I scolded him”. Example, “Tara, I’m going to the shop”, and I would reply “grand”. Contrary to popular belief this does not mean “great” or anything nearly as enthusiastic. Grand: This is our most used response to any question. That basically means that you did something EXTREMELY embarrassing and should probably be disowned. The long version is “scarlet for your ma for having ya”. Scarlet for ya : How embarrassing for you. “some f*in yoke sat beside me on the bus”. Yoke can also refer to a person that you are horrified by. Yoke: Thingy. For example, “Where’s that yoke gone?” simply means “Where has that random thing gone that I was looking for?”. Yer one : The female equivalent of yer man. (often pronounced yer wan) We do not mean that the man BELONGS to you. For example, “Yer man behind the counter said to me….”. or pretty much any man that we are referring to for the purpose of a story. So here it is, the only guide you’ll need to understanding us charming Irish and our Irish phrases.Ī Quirky Guide to Irish Phrases General Irish Phrases I couldn’t include everything, but I threw in the main players and hopefully quite a few you’ve never seen before. After days of consulting my friends, family and Cornish boyfriend, here’s the list I came up with.
IRISH NO WORDS ROCK FULL
I realised the full extent of the things we say that make little or no sense to the people outside of Ireland after I came back from travelling. There are Irish phrases which we use every day that most English speakers from any other country will never have heard of in their life. The third playlist contains loads of lively Irish music that’s perfect if you’re having a session at home.Not only do us Irish have our own language, Gaelic (though most of us that are actually from Ireland just call it Irish and can barely speak it), but our version of the English language is also like a whole different language itself. Expect everything from old Irish songs to recent releases in this one: This playlist is full of the best Irish music from the past two decades. Some of the best Irish music from the last 30 years Expect everything from ‘The Foggy Dew’ to ‘Get Out Ye Black And Tans’ in this one. Our first playlist is wedged with the best traditional Irish folks songs. The popular traditional Irish songs playlist I’ve included both YouTube and Spotify playlists below, in case you prefer using one over the other. OK, so you’ve had a flick through the various Irish music above – now it’s time for some playlists that you can save and use for the gym, parties or just general listening. This became one of the most popular Irish songs in America for a while, after it was featured on the shows ER, The 4400 and Grey’s Anatomy.
One of their best is a song called ‘Open Your Eyes’, from the bands 2006 album titled ‘Eyes Open’. If you’re on the lookout for alternative Irish rock songs to add to your playlist, you’ll find a heap of great ones from Snow Patrol.
