Hey! No problem, thanks for watching!
I was checking out your profile and couldn't help thinking, how does a brazilian girl have such a command of the irish language? You speak it better than most of the people I know!

oh...it's a long long story xD but to shorten it, most of my childhood friends are Irish, even though I've never been to Ireland (it's my dream to go there! hopefully I'll be able next year!!!)


well maybe...(as a "linguist wannabe" lol) I've got an explanation for that: I Ireland. Since child ^^ I guess there's no language that couldn't be easily learnt, as long as you get on well with all the culture & tradition & history behind such a language
for example sean nós music, ceilí dancin, irish food (yummy!!) and all other awesome irish stuff *_*

but thanks a lot for the compliment hope 2 see u when I go there!

ps.: gaeilge agatsa? xD

I guess when we hear about the history and live among the traditions every day we don't really stop to appreciate it. It's probably the same in all cultures! Irish food is a new one though! Hahaha, what's your favourite dish? I didn't know we had much famous foods other than stew and potatoes!

Tá cupla focal agam ach tá brón orm nach bhfuil mé ró-mhaith! Ní chaithim a lán ám ag caint gaeilge nuair bhí mé óg toisc ni raibh an-fonn ar mo mhuinteoir é a mhuineadh! Tá sé ina náire i mo thuairim.

how long have you been studying the irish language? I'm very curious because the system we have here for teaching irish isn't very good.

Irlandesaaa In reply to SirFuzzyCarl [2011-07-14 00:45:54 +0000 UTC]

yes, but it's impossible to speak a language if u don't get involved with its cultural aspects ^^ for example it would be offensive in Brazil to say "your illness", even if the person is undoubtedly ill. You'd rather say "the illness you've got". In Irish there's a further distance between the person and the illness, for it's something "atá ort".

excuse the sad example lol i was makin a medical glossary for a possible translation xD

why everyone laughs when i say irish food is yummy? lol it's delicious! I luv lamb stew, scones, boxty, cabbage, gingerbread...

ná habair é! tá gaeilge an-mhaith agat go deimhin! ^^ aww chualas trácht ar an córas oireachtais in Éireann agus an Ghaeilge. Tá sé mar an gcéanna le Béarla i mBrasaíl, mar shampla: níl sé múinte go maith i scoil ar bith, só más mian leat é a fhoghlaim agus Brasaíleach tú, is gá duit freastal ar chúrsa teanga éigin (costasaaaach!) nó cairdeas a dhéanamh le daoine thar lear chun é a chleachtadh go fiú xD ach ní raibh mórán suim agam i mBéarla riamh lena bheith fírinneach...d'fhoghlaim mé cúpla focal chun a bheith in ann ceachtanna gaeilge a thuiscint lol só chuireas feabhas ar an mbéarla de réir a chéile, ach bhí gaeilge agam cheana ^^'

7 years, I guess. It's my second language. My family's always had some "irish" traditions, especially in the kitchen ^^ (it's funny though, coz I'm a german descent instead xD) but i've learnt the language "trí chleachtas amháin" w/friends and lookin at some grammar online, but sin an méid (<-- as u can see there r some things i still dont know in English lol that's so náireach!! especially for a translator! xD). I've also got the hobby of irish dancin in small rooms (such as mine lol) and practicin sean nós (well, that's kinda relaxin!)

cad is ainm duit? mise Natália ^^

Tá brón orm go bhfuil níor a lán gaeilge sa nóta seo. Ach tá suil agam go mbeidh lán gaeilge sa nóta seo chugainn nuair beidh cabhrú agam ó mo chairde. Oh, is mise Matt, go raibh maith agat!
Ta náire ar mise! Ní feidir liom caint gaeilge ach is mise duine gaeilge! Ach féach ar túsa, is feidir leat caint gaeilge agús rugadh tú i mBrazil!
Gabh mo leithscéal, tá cuplá botún ann!

Haha, personally I love asian food! When you come over to Ireland you should definitely spend some time in the ring of Kerry! In my opinion it's the most beautiful part of Ireland and most people there will be as surprised as I am to hear a brazilian girl speaking as gaeilge. You're gonna get a lot of people who will want to hear your story I hope you have fun anyway! Ireland has a lot to offer if you look in the right places, just try not to get sucked in to all the tourist rubbish. The best way to discover Ireland is to talk to the people.

A Matt, ná bí brónach. Tá do dhícheall á dhéanamh agat, s'éard is tábhachtaí deas cloisint go mbeidh mé i dteagmháil le gaeilgeoirí eile, áfach is breá liom aithne a chur ar go leor leor daoine i nGaeilge ^^

bhuel, níl teanga nádúrtha na Bhrasaíle agam ach an oiread! (ar nós tupi nó guarani) agus brasaíleach mise. Scéal céanna. Ní thuigeann daoine (don chuid is mó) "cén fáth" go bhfuil gaeilge agam nó go bhfuil mé chomh "gaelach" sin, ach creidimse gur ar son na paisean atá sé agus sin an méid. Ní gá bheith Seapánach chun dúil a bheith agat i manga & anime... mar an gcéanna, ní gá bheith Éireannach chun Gaeilge a labhairt! (i mo thuairim ^^').



omg, me too!! especially japanese! what's your favourite dish? I luv leeks, temaki, onigiri, squid, yakibifum...everythin! xD (except sashimi...not very keen on raw fish to b honest^^')

but irish food is still my fave one ever

hahah aye maybe i should take a couple of months off and visit everywhere in Ireland instead (well, there's no harm in daydreamin xD) but sure, the Kerry gaeltacht is on my "must see places" list already btw which place would u recommend me to visit first? Donegal or Galway? lol (someone's asked me a similar question and i wasnt able to answer xD i need more research! and hints! )

ahahah suuure!! and i'll be pleased to tell the same story again and again

totally agreed! cárbh as duit in Éireann, a chara?

Yeah, hopefully I actually love math! It's just that the paper they gave today was the hardest in over 10 years! Some of the stuff wasn't even on the course! Oh well, the rest will be fine and then I'll be going on to college. Hopefully I'll have a load of time during summer to make some more pictures!
