Hi,
I'd like to know how to pronounce "oi":
In poist I know it's originally post, so I pronounce it poisht
BUT in foighne - Do I pronounce it feinye, foinye or fainye?
Thus oi = ???
Thank you |

Using "English" spelling, I pronounce:
post = pust (as in "dust")
poist = pwisht ( as in "He wished" )
"foighne" is a bit odd. The "gh" is in there to indicate that there's a diphthong. I pronounce it as:
f-eye-nih ( "nih" as in "ninja" )
Similary, I pronounce "staighre" as:
st-eye-ra |

Similarly, also, would be "leigheas".
lye - uhs |
