I noticed today that I always hear gheobhaidh pronounced as YO-EE where as muintir Iorrais pronounce it YUFF-EE.The Negative (ní bhfaighidh) is pronounced Ní WEE-HEE.Is this common place anyehere else? |

Looks like they've put an -f- there by analogy with the other verbs, they say "gheobhfaidh" and "ní bhfuighfidh". In Ulster, people say yo-ee and wee (bhfuighidh). Learn Irish pronunciation here: http://loig.cheveau.ifrance.com/irish/irishsounds/irishsounds.html & http://fsii.gaeilge.org/
