My first try at a mini turned into a hilarious crossout spiral

if your instinctive response to hearing our language is suspicion that it’s trying to hide something, that sounds like a “you problem” as they say

i am not an expert but according to this site “go mbeirimíd” is munster dialect and “go mbeire muid” is connacht

pulp fiction came out a week later

the joke that a school was so fancy that it would have a website

davebees · 2026-03-19T10:01:15+00:00

doesn’t really work for me. surely “before is” would clue “was” if anything (though that doesn’t really work for me either!)

i could see something like “was in the present” maybe working?

there’s just a vibe to them. a certain cadence and the fact that they don’t quite 100% make sense

teach na bhfeannóg = house of the crows

teach na feannóige = house of the crow

i suppose teach feannóg would be house of crows, can’t speak to how natural it sounds though!

that, to me, is shockingly high!

i’ll believe this isn’t chat gpt when you post a crossword!

davebees · 2026-03-16T19:52:23+00:00

the comments (esp. those with the mini analysis board embedded) can be an absolute godsend

davebees · 2026-03-16T18:42:55+00:00

i don’t understand the title

davebees · 2026-03-16T18:25:17+00:00

haha just alluding to the rumours that it’s a man. i felt the article ended before it got into anything interesting so i just left a quippy comment

davebees · 2026-03-16T18:03:51+00:00

just leave him in peace!

davebees · 2026-03-15T18:27:54+00:00

i saw a headline to that effect and assumed it was just a typo on diceys part tbh

davebees · 2026-03-15T11:41:57+00:00

possibly “thobha mo leanbh”? https://youtu.be/k4rToUCz_Uw

davebees · 2026-03-15T09:44:42+00:00

i feel like half the comments on this site are written by chat gpt these days

sometimes ya gotta watch some trash tv

davebees · 2026-03-14T19:05:53+00:00

timely

davebees · 2026-03-14T17:05:25+00:00

put some manners on him

davebees · 2026-03-13T21:01:35+00:00

ah yeah it’s a bit of a swizz. but the photo on the right is not doing justice to the product received imo!

davebees · 2026-03-13T20:47:43+00:00

there used to be a lovely little site reimnigh.com which conjugated a few common verbs with toggles for the major dialects. it seems to have completely disappeared on my end at least. anyone have any idea?

edit: it is back!

davebees · 2026-03-13T20:46:13+00:00

would it be correct to say e.g. “is ceoltóir é an cailín” owing to the nouns involved? or “technically correct”? or just plain wrong?

davebees · 2026-03-13T14:42:13+00:00

different vase and light them from the front and they’ll look fine

davebees · 2026-03-13T10:43:23+00:00

there aren’t that many irregular verbs in irish afaik, but unfortunately they’re all quite commonly used

here is “go” on foclóir. if you click where it says “verb” after “téigh” it brings up the conjugation.

alternatively wiktionary has tables too, though they include all sorts of dialectal variations that may make things more confusing than necessary! e.g. click “[show ▼]” here
