Níl a fhois agam an bhfeaca an méid riamh, ach mothaím gur nath coitianta é domsa i gcaint. Tá "Cóir, g. córa, f., right, power, ... etc." i bhfoclóir Dinneen. Is dócha go bhfuil sé cosúil le "in (full) force" i mBéarla.

O.K., I will use the standard word from here on to not start such a big discussion lol

Níl aon gá an téarma a sheachaint. Is maith leis an chuid is mó daoine anso a stórtha focal a fheabhsú, agus is maith linn caint fén nGaelainn.

In aon chor, fáilte chuig an bhfórum.

No. Use your natural dialect. There is nothing wrong with a big discussion of usages - that's what we're here for.

Yes, Ade, I agree wholeheartedly.

100% agree. Please do feel free to use whatever Irish is natural to you. Any discussion is only out of interest.

For my part, I love seeing native Irish speakers using their Irish on here. It's the best opportunity to learn.

Dia daoibh uilig. Ruaidhrí Dhómhnaill a ta orum agus ta mé ag déanú stadéar ar an ghaeilig. Cad é mar tá sibh? D'aimsig mé an fórum seo nuair mhoithigh mé go rabh cean ann. Gabh mo leidhscéal mar cha dtig lum Gaeilig a scríbh go math ach is dóigh lum go bhfuil ardlebheil maith agam sa chánunt labhartha. d'fhódhlum me an chúid is mó dí ó ghaeltacht agus gan ó leabharthaí so chan uil mé go maith len a scríobh, tá mé anseó chon é sin fhabhsú gus chon barraíocht fhóluim i gcoitine agus chun cuidiú le dúiní má táim i n'ann.

le mo 'ainm úsaideora, chan fhuil me 'g iarraidh bhéidh hostile, naimhdeach lesna mórlitreacha. b'fhéidir go bhfuil faighb inteacht le se'an chóras mar nuair bhías ag síniú suas d' úirt sé go rabh achan ainm a thriall me 'n úsáid agus na hainimneacha b' neamhchoitianta fosta. cha rabhas ag déanú go n-oibreochadh ach d'oibrigh an t'ainim seo ar ndoigh

Tá sé go maith ar fad, a mhic. Fáilte go dtí an fóram!

Hello! Mise Maolra agus tá mé i mo chónaí i gContae Chorcaí ach ba as Fear Manach (ar an teorainn le Dún na nGall) mo mhuintir.

I am not a native speaker, unfortunately. Despite living in Co. Cork, I am not from here originally! I'm hoping to learn Connemara Irish since my ancestors are 'said to have come from out that way'. The story told to me by the son of a relative who was born in 1880 who said that 'we were brought up here (Northwards) with a landlord' at some point around 1820.

To be honest, I sort of picked that dialect at random given the number of speakers and I've stuck with it, albeit I reckon my Irish is as far away from a Conamara speaker as possible at the moment! I also made that choice before moving to Cork!

I'm a little shy about my accent/how I sound in Irish, as I was not brought up in the Irish education system. I feel that I sound 'different'.

I often head off for walks in An Rinn and Baile Átha an Ghaortaidh, but do not know any native Irish speakers personally sadly.

I think that has been my biggest hold back with Irish: not being able to converse in it with someone regularly, in a natural way (coffee, or a pint, or a text about how the day went!). I speak two other languages relatively fluently, and I enjoy grammar and nit-pickity things!

Good to meet you all!

Welcome! I’d just like to say the typical Irish education system I think is no asset to pronouncing Irish correctly, so you have a clean slate id say say (if that is the right expression). Usually what’s taught there is terrible, oversimplified and anglicised pronunciation. I think. The quality of the recordings are not the BEST, but I recommend Doegen.ie for pronunciation. All native speakers. You can click on Galway specifically and there are a lot for Galway.
