éistigí a Dhaoine,
Cad a geobhaidh mé eolas about the verbs out of the munster dialect? Is mise as Cúige Mumhan, agus ba mhaith liom to learn what should be my native dialect.
Can anyone help me?
(forgive my stunted irish, I'm practising).
P.S. - i would also like informatoin about the irregular verbs on munster irish if at all possible.
Do Chara Uasal,
le meas,
Seamás91

"Cá bhfaighidh mé" - that's one of your irregulars for you! ;-)

You might be interested in this book:

Any more, a daoine?

The conjugation tables in the back of Dinneen's dictionary are a good starting point. Gaeilge Chorca Dhuibhne also has fully written out, fully conjugated verbs (regular and irregular) with the pronunciation. YOu can get it from the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. GCD is a fully descriptive (not prescriptive) account of Kerry Irish.

is there anyone from munster here who can give the verbs and irregular verbs in the munster dialect?

quote:

my native dialect.

If it were your native dialect, you wouldn't need to ask... I guess you mean "the dialect of my native area" or something like that...

I have several books about Kerry Irish. I think I'd find the answer of most of your questions in them.
By the way, I've copied many forms here :

(click at the bottom of the page, on 'regular' or 'irregular verbs' etc).

Go deas. (Beagán mall ar an ríomhaire seo)

Céard faoi PDF a dhéanamh?

Thiocfadh liom...
Tchífidh mé, nuair a bheas níos mó ama agam.

Go raibh maith agat faoi sin, a Lughaidh.
Is the grammer any different from other dialects?

Maidir leis na briathra, thug Lughaidh samplaí as na canúintí go léir.

Is brea liom an mear-treoir gramadaí seo: http://www.nualeargais.ie/gnag/gram.htm

Tá tagairtí ann do na canúintí.

The verbal forms I wrote there are from Gaeilge Chois Fhairrge: an Deilbhíocht, from Gaeilge Chorca Dhuibhne & An Teanga Bheo: Gaeilge Chorca Dhuibhne, and from An Teanga Bheo : Gaeilge Uladh, among others.

Séamas > what do you mean? You're asking if the grammar was different according to the dialect? Yes, it is, a little bit.

If you're interested in West Cork forms, you can find them on this page: http://homepage.eircom.net/~timbrackencourt/Graimear3.html.

Suimiúil, grma.

Lughaidh,

In Hiberno English; Irish is reffered to as the "native language". Tis a colloquial thing used throughout rural Ireland.

The meaning isnt literal, it more means that its their "spiritual" or "ancestral" language. Well thats assuming that Seamas is from Ireland.

I've always found it peculiar, but kind of affectionate. Its funny hearing Irish people do it, but I suppose every meaning changes in time.

I AM FROM IRELAND. i live in Chiarraí.

Yes but in forums like this, all non-Irish people will believe one is talking about his mothertongue... and not speaking his mothertongue fluently is just as impossible as saying your head is not your head or sthg like that :)

Ná téimis ansan arís eile!

Domhnaillín, thanks for putting those up. Can you put them all up as I don't have that book.
