This information is brought here from an older post, with a new subject heading to make it easier to find in the future. It may be suitable for being moved to the additional resources section of the forum, and peple who have additional adjectives can add them in further posts, and then maybe it can all be merged at a later point.
This is the first part of a list of adjectives or nouns based on adjectives used in describing people (male and female) in Irish, based on their characteristics and/or personalities. Some are used only in one or more of the dialects, and there may be some Kerry bias, since my main source was a Kerryman. It comes from a Word table format which won't transfer well, so note that the Irish comes first, then the English equivalent(s) (I can't seem to add spaces to separate the English more distinctly). If there is an "m" or an "f" after the Irish term, then it's normally applied either to a male or a female, as shown by the "m" or the "f". The list will continue in a post after this one.
