"Irish" republic

You guys should throw everyone who's not fluent in Irish off the island desu.

How are they going to throw out 99% of the population

>culturally appropriating finnish memes.

apart from showing a damning indifference to the famine, did the British actually ever do anything evil to their loyal subjects in Ireland?

...wouldn't that be a Swedish meme? Or are Finns really that self-deprecating?

up and down is a social construct :DDDDD

And leave an empty island free to repopulate with humans? Sounds ace.

You'd be surprised

I kn

this is really quite horrible to behold

I mean, you're technically right, but I think most people would agree it's because there isn't nearly as much land mass in the southern hemisphere.

allt väl, pekka?

ew you'd see the Master plan for what it is. As long as the women are kept alive I see no problem with it.

Yeah, quite a bit desu. Ireland was occupied for 800 years, of course some really nasty shit happened.

there's a finn that fully grasps the benevolent and ineffable position that swedes had in his nation's history

Ja, min fogde

Absolutely yes.
Scotland is at least as at fault, if not more so than England though.

I was in Dublin earlier this week and everything is in both English and Irish but seems to be a massive waste of money as no one even reads it

It's mandatory to learn at school but every Irish person I've spoken to about this said they haven't used it since their exams finished

fuck off seamus

I thought they gave up teaching Irish half a century ago or more

I'm English mate.
I just hate Jock scum so fucking much.

They still do, but from what I've heard they focus more on teaching the kids how to read poetry than to speak in Irish for everyday purposes, which makes learning the language seem useless outside of academic settings. Shame honestly.

I'm pretty sure the creator was an ethnic swede in Finland.

No I believe it is a mandatory part of their national curriculum
The Irish like the idea of bringing their language back in theory but in practice no one cares enough to put the effort in when speaking English is so much easier

that's welsh

this is true, we are literally too lazy to speak Irish now

this was probably their fault

Your grandpa has terrible opinions desu.

your grandfather is right.
People meme that english writing is terrible, but Irish is a fucking nightmare.

daily reminder that modern """english""" is a mutt language that has no resemblance to old english.

Blame the Fr*Nch for ruining it.

What? Irish writing is pretty easy, it just looks odd. English by comparison is wildly inconsistent and more of a "nightmare" to learn.

how so? it's got a normal and clear latin alphabet, with nary a squiggle or a weird character that's not pronounced as you expect it to be seen

Dearest creature in creation
Studying English pronunciation,
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse and worse.

I will keep you, Susy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy;
Tear in eye, your dress you'll tear;
Queer, fair seer, hear my prayer.

Pray, console your loving poet,
Make my coat look new, dear, sew it!
Just compare heart, hear and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word.

Sword and sward, retain and Britain
(Mind the latter how it's written).
Made has not the sound of bade,
Say-said, pay-paid, laid but plaid.

Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as vague and ague,
But be careful how you speak,
Say: gush, bush, steak, streak, break, bleak,

Previous, precious, fuchsia, via
Recipe, pipe, studding-sail, choir;
Woven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, shoe, poem, toe.

Say, expecting fraud and trickery:
Daughter, laughter and Terpsichore,
Branch, ranch, measles, topsails, aisles,
Missiles, similes, reviles.

Wholly, holly, signal, signing,
Same, examining, but mining,
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far.

From "desire": desirable-admirable from "admire",
Lumber, plumber, bier, but brier,
Topsham, brougham, renown, but known,
Knowledge, done, lone, gone, none, tone,

One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel.
Gertrude, German, wind and wind,
Beau, kind, kindred, queue, mankind,

Tortoise, turquoise, chamois-leather,
Reading, Reading, heathen, heather.
This phonetic labyrinth
Gives moss, gross, brook, brooch, ninth, plinth.

Have you ever yet endeavoured
To pronounce revered and severed,
Demon, lemon, ghoul, foul, soul,
Peter, petrol and patrol?

Billet does not end like ballet;
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.

Banquet is not nearly parquet,
Which exactly rhymes with khaki.
Discount, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward,

etc etc

That's only for BR's since they don't understand English. Everyone in PT knows ENG and will throw a fit if it is dubbed.

Because in English the relationship between spelling and pronunciation can be all over the place as the other post shows. Irish spelling's relationship to pronunciation might not be obvious coming from other languages but it's more just 'different' than hard and it's a lot more consistent.

easy peasy lemon squeezy

This. My dad didn't bother teaching it to me because it is absolutely useless, especially as all the Irish speakers here in MA have either died off (including my grandpa) or moved away and largely stopped speaking Irish.

>Daoust, ma mamm me kelen Breizh.

are you an illegal in Boston?

Nope. I was born stateside.

where the fuck is MA

Massachusetts, Paddy.

that's Massachusetts of course

oh
why refer to it by a cryptic area code

Attached: helber.jpg (1024x270, 47K)

'Cause spelling out Massachusetts every time is a pain in the ass.

it should be a point of pride to spell out in the full the name of one's state especially to non-americans

True, but when drunk the attempts to spell out Massachusetts are more of a point of shame.

it really helps for postage and addressing

quite a lot and continued it well into the 20th century.
it was only around the 90s that they actually stopped

the UK did nothing to Ireland after their independence, unless you're talking about their arbitration in the disagreements between the ethnic groups in that certain autonomous region

""""arbitration""""

But did they deserve warrenpoint?

neither side were saints

So i have heard.

What about the trade war in the 30's?

That's a good 12+ years off don't worry about it

was that not just the new irish government misstepping?

have to call it something

ah, that's still wrong of course.

just work in the field Z mod 31

the majority of irish are west brits which is sad
