Using Irish day to day
Yes I know we have a specfic forum but it's a general question. And I've started plently of threads here but this isn't one I've seen started
Do you use Irish during the day? For my own example, we get hundreds of emails a day in work. My teamates ask when is my lunch slot and I'd reply "12:30 for mise". Or someone who email me and tells me I've to redo some work and I'd reply "Cén fáth?". I'm far, far from a fluent speaker. And it's not a case that I'm trying to show off what very limited knowledge I have. It's just what I do and I'm not alone in this. Just seems normal, that's all So boardsies, do you use Irish day to day? What I was in Galway, I'd be served my pint and be told Sinn e. |

That makes me think of wankers who use French words in an English conversation. Dropping Irish words into an English conversation is stupid imo

It's like people in work who I hear saying "Slan" when they're done on the phone. No harm done if they're easily recognisable words (to the vast majority) IMO, depends how you deliver them and in what context though.
I certainly wouldn't consider saying "mise" or "cen fath?" to be "using Irish day to day" in any real sense.

Learn the language or you can't really consider yourself 100% Irish |

As I posted, it just seems normal to me, I ain't someone from a David McWilliams book who use Irish to show off, my knowledge wouldn't be good enough for that. |
