    Which is the more correct pronounciation for 'Bhfuil', as in an bhfuil tú.../are you...?

    Is it an will or an vill?


    On a slightly different topic, if you want to say you love someone or something, would you say 'is brea liom' when you are talking about a place or an activity which you are enthusiastic about, eg, 'I love Kerry, football, etc;', but 'Tá grá agam' when you're expressing love for an individual?

    It is pronounced vwill in Munster and will in Connaught and Ulster.

    I suppose you would! You could also say Is grá liom ...

    I'd go more towards wul or wool for the Northern version.
