I hate Ireland.

israel isnt a real country

Bunaithe.
Lucas Hill
you mean isn'trael
Sebastian Stewart
Based Israeli impersonation of the eternal Anglo.
Parker Ramirez
>príomhcomhairleoirí
What?
Also it should be tUasal
At least it's better than an OP as b*arla
Israel is not a real country, you are Arab in a skullcap
Owen Diaz
"Lead advisors" I believe.
Gavin Green
hello shahar hope you're well
Dylan Phillips
>Also it should be tUasal
No, I don't think it should?
Christopher Ortiz
Imagine if the lockdown went on for the rest of the year. Wouldn't that be gas?
William Ramirez
Oh, I was thinking he was referring to Trump and was very confused. I think comhairleoir should be lenited there since it's masculine, and it should be a semicolon rather than a colon
focloir.ie
Why wouldn't it be? Uasal is a title which is capitalised and the t is just stuck on the front. Alba doesn't become An talba
Not really, lockdown is just the same routine as usual but with no places I can stuff my face in
Easton Diaz
why would it be gas
Dominic Martin
Hi!
Thomas Scott
AAAAAAAAAAAAH ok good just had to get that out before it built up into one of my proper screams
Jacob Parker
>I was thinking he was referring to Trump and was very confused
Yeah I did the same and thought he came across some bizarre translation of president other than uachtarán.
It's like Mr. so it should.
Eh, it's gotten really boring for me. There's no change in my daily routine except for the news being more boring.
Hi! Are you the same Brazilian that came here to say that before a few weeks ago?
Adam Williams
>Eh, it's gotten really boring for me. There's no change in my daily routine except for the news being more boring.
The news being more boring yet your routine otherwise remaining unchanged makes your life in general more boring?
Hunter Lee
Kinda. It's not making it more interesting at least.
Jason Taylor
>Not really, lockdown is just the same routine as usual but with no places I can stuff my face in
Cook your own food.
Eli Roberts
>Uasal is a title which is capitalised
I don't think this is the case, or if it is it's a forced meme outside of generic title of nobility or capitalised when writing a letter. In the middle of a sentence I don't see why it becomes capitalised anymore than "uasal" as an adjective would be, or any other noun.
Carter Howard
Do you not find it to be a new, more civilised way of living?
Ian Evans
>the Chinese are sending us PPE not suitable for hospital use
To the surprise of absolutely nobody. And to think the Taoiseach was thanking their Premier for this bit of dodgy commerce only a few days ago.
Anthony Miller
>In the middle of a sentence I don't see why it becomes capitalised anymore than "uasal" as an adjective would be, or any other noun.
In the same way you capitalise Mr. Higgins instead of saying mr. Higgins.
Caleb Robinson
Yeah but "Mister" is a title with no meaning besides addressing someone, you can't say "the mister" but you can say "the noble" and I think you can use "an tuasal" without capitalisation or being just a title.
I'm also iffy on whether it's just something like "taoiseach" they just appropriated to conform to english title conventions. Although it seems standard across western Europe to turn "lord/noble/master" into just a way to refer to someone without any actual titles, so eh. But if it wasn't used before revivalism I'm not going to bow to it as a convention.
Matthew Campbell
Yeah?! I usually come here to say that I want to learn Irish, so you're probably thinking about me, yes.
Anthony Peterson
Because they remind you of Palestine?
Samuel Moore
>you can't say "the mister"
Is that not exactly what you're saying in Irish?
Ian Allen
Well I got my sick pay in today even though I was supposed to get 80% of my current wage.
So I've got 60 quid to stock up on harp.
Cooper Morgan
>you can't say "the mister"
Irish doesn't follow the same rules as English. I could similarly say "you can't say the Germany".
>I think you can use "an tuasal" without capitalisation or being just a title
All titles have capitalisation. Mr., Mrs., Master, Lady, etc.
You're thinking about the origin of the term too literally. The fact is that modern Irish uses the word as the translation for mister and it would only not be capitalised if you were talking about the word itself ie "Ní maith liom an focal uasal". When used as a title for someone it would always be capitalised.
Luke Smith
Don't like it simple as. I'm not an expert but it reeks of being a clumsy neologistic twisting of an older word into a 1:1 English style of writing.
Even if it's okay as "mister", I'm still not inclined to break the normal rules of capitalisation just to make it fit the english way of capitalising titles.
If it wasn't in use in 18th century or older Irish I'm not going to bow to it if it doesn't sound right to me, simple as.
Thomas Morris
>When i was his age i walked through west london with a tricolor
James Perez
its no different from how i normally live
how do you think its more civilised?
Bentley Walker
>how do you think its more civilised?
Less knackers around, no traffic, quieter, etc.
Hunter Torres
>Irish doesn't follow the same rules as English. I could similarly say "you can't say the Germany".
This isn't a case of that. It's like in English if you addressed a letter to "The Noble Sneed", you wouldn't write "the noble Sneed", but if you were saying "Donald Trump's chief advisor is the noble Sneed", you wouldn't say "Donald Trump's chief advisor is The Noble Sneed".
Uasal simply isn't "mister". I'm not sure how best to say it, or if it even had an equivalent in historic pre-revivalist Irish, but it just doesn't sit right to me.
I know the rules for capitalisation in English, I'm just not convinced that always capitalising "an tuasal" is actually native to the rules in Irish and not just Béarlachas.
Brandon Morris
>I'm still not inclined to break the normal rules of capitalisation just to make it fit the english way of capitalising titles
Irish capitalised titles as well, ie Ard Rí na hÉireann or An Banríon Méabh.
>you wouldn't say "Donald Trump's chief advisor is The Noble Sneed"
No but you would say Mr. Sneed/Mister Sneed.
>I'm not sure how best to say it, or if it even had an equivalent in historic pre-revivalist Irish, but it just doesn't sit right to me
That's fair if you don't like its modern usage in Irish at all, but to wrap back to what the debate started about, if someone is going to use the title like in the OP then it is correct grammar to have it capitalised. Any talk of it being an invention of the revivalists is irrelevant, it's either an tUasal Sneed or just Sneed on its own if you don't like the word being used to mean anything other than a member of royalty.
Andrew Howard
Sneed (roimh é seo, an tUasal Sneed)
Nolan Rodriguez
Really think that if /éire/ got its act together it could become the hotbed for the revival of the language. No other place on the internet, perhaps even on Earth sees such deep discussion on linguistic matters as the capitalisation of Mr. Sneed
Aaron Powell
Foirfe.
Caleb Jackson
We hate you too
Carter James

One of the saddest things I've seen. What the fuck Ireland.
Zachary Reyes
why are you digging up stuff from 20 years ago? we're tryin to move on from that shite
Gavin Hill
I understand that bro
Levi Long
Maybe it's a good thing to know the history of something so if it's good or bad you know wether or not you ever would want to go back there despite how dark and gut wrenching those memories might be
Therefore digging up things from the past isn't necessairly a bad thing
Jose Baker
>What the fuck Ireland.
What the fuck do you mean 'what the fuck'? Schizophrenic Protestants who think they're British even though nobody else thinks they are firebombed innocent people, what are you giving out to us for?
Robert Young
>irish man comitts a terrible crime to irish children for being irish in ireland but somehow saying "wtf ireland" is not acceptable
Luke Scott
>catholics
>innocent
Sorry mucker Ulster says NO
Jose Nguyen
By their own admission they're not Irish and targeted these people because they were Irish.
Also you lot chose the same dark side in the religious conflict.
Easton Johnson
Incorrect
Aiden Myers
>By their own admission they're not Irish and targeted these people because they were Irish.
But it's clear that they'll be Irish in the near future and as you've previously stated, everybody else in the world already considers them Irish lol
>Also you lot chose the same dark side in the religious conflict.

I can get most of it but they speak with a different cadence than "caighdeánach" that you'd get in school.
