Cuireann sé i gcuimhne dom comhartha a chonaic mé sa gharáiste i nGleann Cholm Cille:
Béarla: Please do not ask for credit, as a refusal often offends.
Gaeilge: Íoc anois.

Teachtaireacht ar Mastodon agus “ní hábhair é a chara. 🤜🔥🤛” scríte inti.

Ní hábhair é a chara.
‘His friend is not subjects.’

S: (é) a chara ‘his friend’ (agus fo-ainmní ann)
P: ábhair ‘subjects, matters’ (iolra den fhocal ‘ábhar’)
Copula: ní (an fhoirm dhiúltach)

‘ní ábhair’ a bheadh ceart de réir an chaighdeáin, ach is sine an nós ‘h-’ a chur tar éis ‘ní’ na copaile

Hi John! Indeed, you see it quite a lot online, particularly on native Irish speakers' videos on TikTok, for example. Or we've repeatedly seen people 'correct' native Irish speakers' Irish because they expect the standard.

Thank you - yes, this is true. I will amend to make this more clear as well.

Thanks for pointing this out. We'll take a closer look and see if we can tweak it to reflect it more. As a general note, it was a group of folks who worked on this piece, so there may be fine-tuning needed.

Easy fix, I've edited to include learners/speakers.

Also, 'native speakers' has a specific definition. Namely someone who grew up with the language (often in an immersive environment), not someone simply from a country. That's hardly an opinion, but the definition of the word.

Too right, Sinéad.

A fair comment and I have removed 'just' - it's not meant as disparaging, rather, there is quite a difference usually in the standard of native Irish speakers vs mostly school-led. Unfortunately, though as mentioned earlier, it's very difficult to express tone online. It's a welcome discussion.

Yes, definitely agree that there are many non-native Irish speakers who have fantastic Irish. All we're saying is that we recognise that there's a difference in how native Irish speakers acquire the language and their history with the language as opposed to non-native speakers.

Everyone is welcome to speak / learn Irish - there's no one debating that in the slightest, Sinead? There's also nowhere in the post where it says 'non-native speakers not welcome'. Everyone is capable of reaching a high standard of Irish. But we also need to support minority language communities.

No one is stopping you Sinead - that's wonderful. As I reiterate again everyone should be able to learn Irish. This post was simply about supporting native Irish speakers in the Gaeltachtaí and acknowledging that they exist. No one is saying 'down with non-native speakers'

And this 'everyone's a native' contributes to it. By all means, use whatever Irish you have. Cleachtadh a dhéananns an mháistreacht. But also always be improving and Is fearr Gaeilge bhlasta na Béarla snasta
