    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! :D

    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

    no problem dublin

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,205 ✭✭✭Neamhshuntasach


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