Words only the Irish use.

[seafoid]

"No harm"

[muppet]

Musha what indanamjeysus are ye on abou'? Bedad like we spake the same as anyone.

Not a word but how the letter H is pronounced as is Mark McQ rather than McHugh.  Is this only an Ulster thing?

Definitely an Ulster thing...same with the pronunciation of the name Haughey.

Ulster says Hawkey
Rest say Hawhee

English and Ulster people have difficulty pronouncing names like Cathal, Haughey and Doherty. The 'ohh' sound throws them.
Instead you get Cahill, Hockey and Docherty.

Can you put the words let, left and leave in the following sentences Premier Emperor?

He knocked on the door and asked me to ____ him in.
I opened the door and _____ him in.
I forgot it, I must have _____ it behind me.
I asked him to _____ me alone.

Words use I think by most Irish are

Get me the thingymajig, tha yoke, ya know the yoke. Over by yerman with the head, jaz are ya thick. Ya know the whatyamacallit. Thats it, thats the stuff.

Irish people often use words like those and combined with joint cultural experiences seem to be able to figure our who your man or your woman is or what the thingymajig, yoke, whatyamacallit etc. is.

Irish telepathy.

The answers are all quite obvious, I'm guessing it is not correct English.

Knock off the lights for turn off the lights is another one.

A few counties will give a different answer to the rest of the country and indeed the world.

In Cork:
He knocked on the door and asked me to LEAVE him in.
I opened the door and LEFT him in.
I forgot it, I must have LET it behind me.
I asked him to LET me alone.

In the civilised world - the opposite in every case. I've been down here twenty years now and I still haven't figured out whether they're being wilfully perverse about this or they simply don't know how to speak the language properly.

Anyway, I'm having great crack telling my neighbours here about my mother-in-law telling the butcher she wanted a nice striploin as her son-in-law who was partial to them was coming for the weekend from Cork. His response, in all seriousness - "tell me, are ya able to understand him?".

The double positive which is a negative...."Aye right!"

[Hardy]

Another one - "again" in the sense of "before". This was common in my youth but I hadn't  heard it in decades until I heard John Halligan, independent TD for Waterford on Newstalk this morning going on about crime - "again tonight is over, there won't be a town or locality in Ireland that hasn't had a house broken into".

ferninst - against

charver - shift - get off with

[Tony Baloney]

Eat is ate and ate is ate

A fella in work told his boss a few years ago at the Christmas do that he'd "love to ate the bax off her".
