I look at the origins of what is now a Public Holiday in Ireland. Imbolg is one of the four Gaelic festivals; Brigid, a Saint & Goddess.
I'd be very grateful for RTs!

The Irish word for hound or dog is 'Cú', Welsh is 'Ci'. Both are thought to originate in Proto-Celtic, '*kū'.
There are similar histories and we should support each other's languages.

Irish words originally from Old French: 'Seomra'.
Say 'seomra' in a thick French accent!

They go back to the Latin, 'Cambra', & Ancient Greek 🇬🇷 'καμάρα'.

I'm working in Monaghan today. I saw a man with a fáinne and we had a chat. His name is Brian Mac a' Bhaird and he gave me his CD 'Aisling Fánacha'. Isn't that so nice?!

D'fhoghlaim mé focal nua le déanaí - sanasaíocht (etymology). Céard é an sanasaíocht de 'sanasaíocht'?! 'Sanas' - gluais, sanasán, foclóir.
I learned 'sanasaíocht' (etymology) recently, so what's its root? 'Sanas' is like gloss/glossary.
Suimiúil! Interesting!

One of my kids (16 yo) is looking for work experience next week after being let-down.
Their preferences are any general work in movies, TV, radio, or the media.
CV available.
Grateful for any help 🙏

Chuaigh mé go dtí an podchraoladh 'How To Gael' ag Spiorad Chill Dara inné i Nás na Rí.
I went to the 'How To Gael' podcast yesterday at Spirit of Kildare in Naas.

New beginnings for 2 Irish language schools in Arklow.
The exact location? The report says it's Kilbride - Cill Bríde - the Church of Brigid.

"Guimhaise"
Ceist do na daoine atá líofa b'fhéidir. Chonaic mé an focal "guimhaise". Cad is brí don focal seo? Níl sé i bhFoclóir Dineen. Ceapaim go bhfuil baint aige leis an bportach nó le móin.

The US may opt for 'military action' against Iran.
When Russia was amassing forces on the Ukrainian border, the reporting was concern over an 'attack' or 'invasion'.
Every coloniser is a thief, and this colonial mentality sacrifices truth.

Fuair mé mo toradh ó mo scrúdú TEG B2. Fuair mé 68% ⁊ táim sásta go leor leis sin!
Rinne mé an measúnú le Gaelchultúr arís, ⁊ dúirt sé go mbeadh B2 oiriúnach dom - an leibhéál céanna agus mar sin de, nílim ag déanamh C1 fós gan tuilleadh oibre!

Irish words of Norse origin.
Cnaipe ó Knappr-agus bhí iontas an domhain orm mar d'fhoghlaim mé go bhfuil an focal 'knapp' in úsáid san Iorua fós.
Cnaipe 'button' from 'knappr'- 'knapp' is still used in Norway.
