ferst of all sorry aboot my english,not all is cracked up to be.
Second what the thread means is that irish is what make baile at a cliath or whatever the spelling is make sense and no dublin,irish language is what gives sense to all the legends,believes,and misticism of irish people that is part of your background.Use english and not irish in your daily routines what makes is make you forgett what you really are,play irish people´s culture down,etc.
This is what I think,from an anthropology point of view.
Best wishes to irish people what ever languague you use

From what I understand of this, you are saying that Irish people should take pride in their heritage and language, and that our use of the English language undermines our cultural past. I agree to a great extent, but I feel our use of the English language is a great help to us to communicate with the rest of the world. I am starting to realise how important Irish as a language is to our identity, and how much we should try to keep it alive, whilst not neccesarily speaking it all day, every day.

I like you Josu! I like Athletic Bilbao too!

josufromgetxo

I agree with you absolutely.I am not trying to say that you have to forget English language,very far from that.If you can speik 5 languages instead of 2 the better for you ,but irish should be the first one.I know its difficult,´cause we have the same problem down here in euskadi,but its doable;it requieres a lot of time and determination to learn irish and secondly,to use it,to produce your first words in irish even when you ken the one you are adressing cant speik in irish

Josu , interesting English you speak and good to see you here. Maybe you can help me.
I was wondering if you can tell me what the word xirimiri means. Someone told me it was Spanish or Basque. I like the sound of it but want to make sure that it's not something rude.

Neamhshuntasach

i think xirimiri means to rain. Or something to do with rain.

Thanks for that . Think it's spelt txirimiri though. I believe they use the same word in Spanish as well. Is that right?

Ok, so what's the bit in the title about your surname?
By the way +1 on the "Josu is a legend" consensus...

josufromgetxo

dont understand your answer

josufromgetxo

Nop,they use calabobos or llovizna for the same word.Xirimiri or txirimiri-both accepted- are basque words only.From now on use euskara/euskera or uskara instead of basque

This line is great, good work josu.

And for the record, I agree with you
Even bringing in a few words in everyday use would help, "Pass the bainne (milk)" for example.

I think he meant it in an anthropological way, not to forget who we are and where we come from (based on his 'We are diluting our Irish ways with english' bit).

On the whole Basque thingy*, with José being a very common name in Spain, are you called Josu instead of Jose just to be different?


*Not to trivialise the situation by calling it a 'thingy'

Josu is the basque name for jesus,Jose is a spanish name not basque

what is true is that many names were "invented" in the late XIXth century or rediscovered to the citizens by the nationalism cultural movement
