Céad Mhíle Fáilte agus Hello Friends

Welcome to my inaugural post here at @irishhistorynerd.

I thought, what better place to start this blog than with Ireland herself, and all of her other names. So indulge me as I show you all the etymology and meaning behind the wonderful names of Ireland.

Starting with the most known,

Ireland: Ireland is made of two parts, 'ire' and 'land.' Ire doesn't come from the english word ire, meaning anger, but the Irish name for the country being Éire (Air-ah). The last three letters were taken and land was added to the end, making Ireland.

But where does Éire come from? Well that'd be from the Old Irish word Ériu, the matron goddess of the land of Ireland.

Éirinn and Éireann are both grammatical forms of Éire.

Erin originates from Éirinn and is notable for being a common poetic way to refer to Ireland. They personified Ireland as a beautiful woman named Erin in their poetry and songs.

Hibernia is another name used for personifying Ireland. The name is the Latin word for Ireland. It comes from the Roman Historians's Tacitus' book 'Agricola.' While Hibernia isn't much used as a name for Ireland anymore, its compound form is more commonly used to mean Ireland or Irish, e.g. Hiberno-English means the Irish dialect of english.

The Emerlad Isle, a common epithet for Ireland, first shows up in print in the 1795 poem by William Drennan, 'When Erin First Rose.' It references the beautiful green fields of the Irish countryside.

The Land of Saints and Scholars is another common epithet. Which goes to show the magnitude of influence the catholic church had on ireland. One of the most famous saints in the world, Saint Patrick, is the patron saint of ireland and is mythologically responsible for converting a large nu,ber of people to catholicism and driving evil (the snakes) away from the land. Our scholars date back to the dark ages, where monks would work tirelessly to transcribe copies of text in an age where literacy was at a shocking low. Our tradition of scholars continued on for centuries, with the monks being replaced by great writers and poets such as Padraig Pearse, W. B. Yeats, and James Joyce.

So there we go! the most common names for Éire and her land. I hope you enjoyed! Feel free to follow for more fun Irish knowledge.

And of course I'm only human, if I made any many mistakes please let me know so I can fix them as soon as possible.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

There are holidays that I'm convinced the world doesn't need… St. Patrick's Day, for example. I think it's perfectly fine to be proud of your heritage. I mean, I have an Italian grandmother. I'm totally proud of that. She makes the best pasta in the world. Hehehe, if you look at my belly, you can tell.

You see St. Patrick's Day parades on every channel. It's pure brainwashing! I look at my stomach again… Maybe I'll use the day to do something for my fitness. The streets are full of happy people. Intrusively cheerful people with funny green hats.

The guy at reception is wearing a green T-shirt. And has a shamrock painted on his cheek. I could puke. "Hi mate, nice to see you. Not much going on today. But we'd like to take a few pictures for social media later. Something along the lines of today-we've-trained-in-green. Would you wear this tank top for training?" He holds something green out to me. Fortunately without a shamrock or a funny gnome. It looks like a rugby jersey. Maybe a little big. I smile painfully. "Mate, give yourself a jolt! I'll give you a protein flat rate and free training for three months!" You don't care about the protein flat rate. But free training for three months… You'll save a good 150 dollars. Then it won't be so bad that you come here so rarely.

"Come on, give it to me!" you say and give him a fist bump. Fist bump? What's wrong with you today? All right… Put on your jersey, half an hour on the cross trainer, then maybe a bit of chest training. And then that should be it. And if you absolutely have to post pictures of it. You go to the changing area. Yawning emptiness. Exactly to your taste, actually! You undress, put on the sweatpants and then the jersey. You take a quick look in the mirror. An overweight quarter-Italian in a green rugby jersey. You doubt that this will bring the gym even one new follower, let alone a customer.

You usually start on the cross trainer with low resistance. Today you can try something new. It's empty, no one is watching, you can't embarrass yourself. So you go to the rowing machine. You have no experience with that. So you hit the maximum resistance. And off you go! After half an hour, you wipe the sweat from your forehead. Your jersey sticks to your chest, soaked with sweat. The gym employee stands in front of you with a grin. "Bro, those were some really awesome shots! What are you up to now?" You grumble that rowing is a good base for lat training. And that you're currently doing antagonist training. So combine it with chest training. "Nice, that should make for great pictures." You don't give a damn that the camera is following you the whole time. Focus on the training. And finally, no consideration for others. Moan and grunt when you feel like it. And today you're lifting the heavy weights. That requires a loud scream or two.

Shit, you've been here for almost three hours. You're done. You shout to your gym's social media representative that it's time for the final show. You take off your slightly too tight jersey with some difficulty. And wring out the sweat. You smile at the camera and say "Happy St. Patrick's Day, bros! Stay focused and train hard!" Your buddy gives you a fist bump and says it was a lot of fun with you again. You hand him your cell phone and ask him for a photo. For your own account.

Irish Grammar Lesson! Ceachta Gaeilge Grammadaí! Urú or eclipses

The urú is the unofficial partner of the séimhiú, seeing as they both add a letter to the beggining of a word.

When adding an urú, you add one (and with one case two) letters before the first letter.

Each letter which takes an urú takes a different letter. The letters which take an urú ar b, c, d, t, g, p, and f. After the urú, they become mb, gc, nd, dt, ng, bp, bhf.

The way I remember them is a mnemonic I was taught in secondary school which goes, My Brother, Got Caught, Not Doing, Dishes Tonight, Nobody Gets, Blueberry Pie, Before He Finishes. The initial of each words tells you what the urú is.

Thanks to @elodylie for letting me know her mnemonic is Many Boys, Go Camping, Near Ditches, BeHind Fences, No Girls, Back Packing, Down There! Each capital is the letters in the urú (note here the urú for f is one word despite being 2 letters which is why the H is also capitalised).

When pronouncing the word with an urú, you skip the original letter, and pronounce it as if the initial letter was replaced by the urú. With the exception of 'ng' which is closer to the ng sound we see in words like running, walking, etc. in English

Note there is a non-urú eclipse on vowels, when eclipsing a vowel (using all the same rules below) you prefix the eclipsed word with 'n-', e.g. ceol na n-éan, though sometimes the n is added to the end of the previous word like the phrase in éirinn

So when do you add an urú?

When talking about possession, all nouns following a plural pronoun (ár, bhur, a - our, your, their) take an urú. e.g. Cat goes to A gCat (their (pl.) cat). (note that when adding an urú to a capitalised noun, you generally keep the original capitalisation while leaving the urú lowercaseas above)

Eclipsion also happens after the preposition i.

When counting objects 7-10, seven boats are seacht mbád, nineteen boats are naoi déag mbáid.

Words following an in the interrogative tense (not when using an as in the word The) as well as words following nach, and go, as well as dá, sula, mura, and cá.

They are also added after genitive plural nouns following 'na' and dative singular nouns following 'an' though these are a little wordy and technical. The video below explains it well but essentially, if you're saying __ an __ where the first gap is a preposition (ar, ag, faoi, etc.) and the second gap is an eclipsable noun, eclipse it.

Note that adjectives are not eclipsed regardless of the rules above.

This video is also good to learn about the urú.

And like with the séimhiú post, don't sweat it! It isn't that big of a deal if you mess up, even if you only remember the possession rule, you won't run into any major issues with the meaning being changed.

Being a millenial/gen z irish person today is a state of perpetual ambivilence because I fucking hate my country, I hate living in Ireland, its a partitiond miserable rock where the south is a neoliberal hellhole where youre fucked if you dont earn 10k a month and will never own a home, and the North is a still sectarian, backwards shithole where ethnonationalist freaks with mental herpes literally shut down government because they dont have unanimous control over their slum of a "protestant state" anymore and any meaningful discussion to try and move things forward turns into flag shaggers going "BuT sINn FéIn IRa"

But at the same time, getting refreshers like the last few elections and the current public response to events in Palestine and how even hating living in this dump, we can still have a legitmite reason to be proud of our people and culture

Is cac í Éire, is cac é cónaí in éirinn, ach fós tá mé bródúil as a bheith éirreanach
