Tá fuar orm.

No, fuar is an adjective already. You could say "tá fuacht orm", but convention has it that "tá mé fuar" is the norm.
It's an understandable mistake though, because most descriptions of states to be in use the "orm" construction. But in those cases it's also just convention, you could also say things like "tá mé brónach/ocrasach/feargach" instead of "tá brón/ocras/fearg orm".
It's better that that convention be kept up however, because for most of them there's a subtle difference communicated between the two different phrasings. When you say "Tá X orm", you are emphasising the transience of the state you're experiencing, while if you say "Tá mé X", you are emphasising that what you're describing is a quality more or less inherent in you.

2/10, would have preferred if you had explained this to me in Irish.

Seriously though, great post. The fact that I'm now making basic mistakes like that demonstrates that my Irish has become far more rusty than I initially feared. I suppose that's what happens when you don't have a reason to use it for years on end.

I myself am very rusty, I just forgot more than the average pleb learned in the murder machine.

So saying "tá mé éadóchasach" implies more than "tá éadóchas orm" that the despair is long-term?

My standard of Irish was actually quite good by the time I sat the leaving cert. Not just in terms of grammar and stuff, but I could actually hold a semi-decent conversation in Irish to the point where I didn't really need to study for the oral exam (except for those shitty learnt off bits). But once the leaving cert was over, I don't think I ever spoke more than a few words of Irish again. It's a shame really.

Technically, but it will sound like Béarlachas 99% of the time, or 100% of the time if you don't have enough grasp to make it sound like a literary phrasing, which would require it to be part of a larger sentence.
So short answer is no, it's not really right to say it instead of "tá - orm", because to say it just like that sounds like saying "I am despairing" in English. It's okay to say "I'm despairing over X", but it's not really right to say "I am despairing" when you intend to say "I am in despair".

The thing about English is that it's a weird mutt language which lost a lot of the strictness about the components of words. Imagine if instead of "despair", the noun for the feeling was called "despairment". It would be clear from the "ment" that "despairment" was a noun and only a noun, and to turn it into an adjective you'd have to say something like "I am despairmentative".

Now if we imagined that that was gramatically correct in English, we can equate saying "Tá mé éadóchasach" to "I am despairmentative", while "Tá éadóchas orm" equates to "I am in despairment". While they both sound unnatural because they're not real English words, if we were to extend the inconsistent rules of some English words, the latter sounds more natural.

If you're interested I recommend reading wiktionary for words you're interested in; the etymologies of words really help you understand the underlying grammar logic of the whole language, whereas the way it's taught in schools is weirdly based on just learning a superficial understanding of the language, if at all. It's impossible to get the language to stick if it's taught as a repetoire of phrases rather than as a specific logical system, down even to the etymological formation of words.

Beautiful. Jow Forumsireland has really become less retarded since the last time I was there.

Right wingers have been brigading it since the abortion referendum, mostly yanks, russians and culchies.

It was a bait-crafted question though. If someone actually pointed out a series where that was done, they'd scurry under a rock while the howler-monkeys would come stampeding out to shout down criticism as racist.

It's only been up for an hour. After awhile it will be filled with the normal r/ireland faggotry

>The best thing is that if it was set in Irish myth there would be no church so even a better representation of Ireland today.

>Well, that depends on which version they're making. The Children of Lir that I studied as Gaeilge for leaving cert. mentioned how a disciple of St. Patrick took them into the monetary and baptised them once they reverted.

>Having the fomor be POC would be... well, a slight issue.
Having the Tuatha De Dannan be non-white would probably work. They came from the islands off to the West, after all.

What's the craic lads

Because I heard screeching.
I only got to the start of the third episode now.
It's slightly "exploitative" re: rape (though when has that ever stopped western media), but I think it's an interesting concept of a D&D style world where everything high-fantasy exists but it's grimdark and edgy.

But this is not exactly subtle. And while I won't go as far as to say that the timing is suspicious (production of TV dramas takes time), it is certainly convenient given all the furore at the moment about the 27th amendment.

False. She is married to rugby chad.

Oh, I thought she was married to Ryan Tubridy. Who am I thinking of then?

Some RTÉ producer, Wikipedia says they're divorced though.
