MacDara ร“ Conaola of An Chlรกir as Gaeilge brings you this weekโ€™s Macalla an Chlรกir column.

Dia dhaoibh a Chairde!

Tรก sรบil agam that you are all go maith agus ag sรบil le Lรก Fhรฉile Vailitรญn. One of the ceisteanna I get asked most is, ”How do you say ‘I love you’ in Irish?”. Well, as Gaeilge is one of most rรณmรกnsรบil languages in the world we have a few different ways. ”Tรก gean agam ort”, ”tรก grรก agam dhuit”, ”tรก cion agam ort”, ‘tรก mรฉ i ngrรก leat”. And I’m sure other dialects have their own ways of saying it too, my own native accent being of the Connacht variety.

An Clรกr as Gaeilge will resume Irish classes for adults in Cois na hAbhna this coming Dรฉ Luain, an 13รบ Feabhra. An 8-week programme at beginners/entry level, intermediate level, and improvers level. Beidh fรกilte romhaibh!
