In Donegal we'd pronounce this way:

Bailigh > BAH-lee
Fágáil > FWAA-gahl
Féacháil > FEE-ah-hahl


Imeacht means to go away.
Fágáil means to leave something, someone or a place (you have to say what you leave).

I went away = D'imigh mé.
I left my room = D'fhág mé mo sheomra.
I left her = D'fhág mé í.
