MacDara Ó Conaola of An Chláir as Gaeilge brings you this week’s Macalla an Chláir column.

Dia dhaoibh a Chairde!

Tá súil agam that you are all go maith agus ag súil le Lá Fhéile Vailitín. 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 rómánsúil languages in the world we have a few different ways. ”Tá gean agam ort”, ”tá grá agam dhuit”, ”tá cion agam ort”, ‘tá mé i ngrá 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 Clár as Gaeilge will resume Irish classes for adults in Cois na hAbhna this coming Dé Luain, an 13ú Feabhra. An 8-week programme at beginners/entry level, intermediate level, and improvers level. Beidh fáilte romhaibh!
