Embrace all things Irish with these 200 interesting, important, and fun Irish words and phrases—as well as what each teaches us about the history and culture of Ireland.
Céad míle fáilte! Dia duit. You don’t need to be fluent to appreciate the beauty of the Irish language. Maybe you’re interested in learning Irish for an upcoming trip or to connect with your heritage. Or perhaps you need a few phases to throw out over a pint for St. Patrick’s Day.
One each page of Irish, you will learn Irish words and phrases that are interesting, useful, and beautiful such as:
-The cultural rallying cry Éire go Brách (Up Ireland!)
-Sclimpíní (the dancing dazzling light behind someone’s eyes)
-Unique traditions like the seanchaí (storyteller)
-The term of endearment a chuisle (my pulse)
-Idioms like Doras feasa fíafraí (questioning is the door to wisdom)
Each entry features pronunciation, the English translation, and part of speech, along with what this word or phrase teaches us about the unique and vibrant culture and history of the Emerald Isle and ways to use Irishism for yourself. Slán go fóill!
