Dreamy stuff as Gaeilge

This vocab list is entirely based on this one created by @svensklangblr, so credits to her for such wonderful idea!

draíocht - magic draíochta - magical as in realting to magic e.g., magical spell draíochtach/draíochtúil - magical as in wonderful e.g., magical atmosphere

síbhean/nimfeach - nymph murúch - mermaid sióg - fairy

In Irish (or Celtic in general) mythology there are also magical creatures called aos sí. They are commonly said to be either descendant of the deities Tuatha Dé Danann or to be deities themselves. Here’s a wiki article on this matter.

ealaín dhubh - black magic oíche - night tráthnóna - evening maidin - morning éirí na gréine - sunrise dul faoi na gréine/lúi na gréine - sunset

There’s a bunch of words to describe dawn in Irish. You can either use éirí na gréine or say one of the following:

éirí gréine - dawn breacadh an lae - dawn camhaoir - dawn

Same thing goes for dusk, all of the words below have the same meaning:

clapsholas - dusk titim na hoíche - dusk coineascar - dusk contráht - dusk

scáth/scáil - shadow as a dark shape dorchadas - shadow as in darkness

brióngloid/taibhreamh - dream aisling - daydream gealach - moon gealach lán - full moon réalta - star spéir - sky scamall/néal - cloud ceo - fog sneachta - snow calóg shneachta - snowflake cuaifeach - whirlwind abhainn - river solas - light pictiúr - painting foraois - forest foraoisi dlútha - deep forests bláth - flower

áilleacht - beauty ealaín - art, artwork grá - love leannán - lover filíocht - poetry file - poet ulchabhán - owl fuiseog - lark fáinleog - swallow glasóg - wagtail caisleán - castle amhrán - song ceolfhoireann - orchestra ceol - music farraige - sea fómhar - autumn geimhreadh - winter samhradh - sommer earrach - spring

álainn/galánta - beautiful óir - gold as in something made of gold órga/órbhuí - golden as in ‘like gold’ socair/ciúin - calm (of a person, place etc) ainglí - ethereal as in beautiful neamhshaolta - ethereal as in not of a physical world

Dreamy stuff in Danish

This was requested by an anonymous person and is entirely based on this incredible list originally created by @svensklangblr.

This is actually right up my alley, and I am very seriously considering making another list with more words like these.

As per usual, bolded words are Danish, italics are English, and regular font is anything grammar related, examples et cetera.

"fk." indicates common gender (fælleskøn, utrum, "en") nouns and "itk." indicates neuter (intetkøn, neutrum, "et") nouns.

All adjectives are declined for common gender nouns.

Please don't hesitate to send an ask or a dm if you have any questions, additions, or the like!

magi, fk. – magic

magisk – magical

fe, fk. · alf, fk. – fairy

Alfer are usually smaller than feer and are not necessarily winged like the "traditional" fairy; they can be more like the traditional Danish folk creatures nisser, but that's a completely different subject.

nymfe, fk. – nymph

sort magi – black magic

tåge, fk. · dis, fk. – fog

Unlike tåge, which is for all kinds of fog, dis is usually only used about the kind of very low lying fog that sometimes appears in the morning.

solnedgang, fk. – sunset

solopgang, fk. – sunrise

daggry, itk. · dæmring, fk. – dawn

skumring, fk. · mørkning, fk. (uncommon) · aftendæmring, fk. (uncommon) – dusk

drøm, fk. – dream

at drømme – to dream

dagdrøm, fk. – daydream

stjerne, fk. – star

måne, fk. – moon

himmel, fk. – sky

sky, fk. – cloud

smuk – beautiful

sne, fk. – snow

snefnug, itk. – snowflake

forgyldt – gilded

gylden – golden

stille · rolig – calm

æterisk – ethereal

skønhed, fk. – beauty

kærlighed, fk. – love

elsker(inde), fk. (-inde for women) – lover

nat, fk. – night

morgen, fk. – morning

aften, fk. – evening

blomst, fk. – flower

lys, itk. – light

poesi, fk. – poetry

havfrue, fk. – mermaid

digter, fk. · poet, fk. – poet

skov, fk. – forest

urskov, fk. – old-growth forest

fuldmåne, fk. – full moon

maleri, itk. – painting

ugle, fk. – owl

svale, fk. – swallow

lærke, fk. – lark

dompap, fk. – bullfinch*

vipstjert, fk. – wagtail*

los, fk. – lynx

skygge, fk. – shadow

ørn, fk. – eagle

hvirvelvind, fk. – whirlwind

flod, fk · å, fk. · elv, fk. (mostly in context with Sweden or Norway) – river

In Danish, we are very particular about distinguishing our running bodies of water by size and å is a small river. Denmark's largest river, which can almost be considered a flod, is "Gudenåen". You would never call a river in Denmark elv, as it is usually associated with mountainous landscapes, but you would if it was in another Nordic country.

sommer, fk. – summer

forår, itk. · vår, fk. (archaic, poetic) – spring

efterår, itk. · høst, fk. (archaic, poetic) – autumn

vinter, fk. – winter

slot, itk. – castle

at læse – to read

sang, fk. – song

at synge – to sing

orkester, itk. – orchestra

musik, fk. – music

hav, itk. – sea · ocean

*Swedish "domherre" which I have double checked is actually a bullfinch was translated as wagtail, so I decided to just include both birds. To avoid any leftover confusion, the birds in question are pyrrhula pyrrhula and motcilla alba, respectively.

#danish #original #i mean kinda i translated stuff to danish but obviously the list itself is not mine as clearly stated #danish language #danish langblr #tongueblr #vocabulary #vocab #dreamy #oh god here we go......... #aesthetic #i have reached my tumblr peak it is time for me to retire #cheesy shit bro #maybe i'll add more tags later its 1:28 am and i've just been doing this while waiting for my sims game to update

🧿 Langblr/Lingblr Intro 🧿

Hello! Holà! Bonjour ! Hallå! Ciao!

My name is Z.R. (you can call me that or Noa), and I’m a uni student studying to hopefully become a language teacher and/or translator.

About the blog

So I have been studying French for several years and am near-fluency. I’ve also started Swedish as of last month and hope to be able to start Italian by summer. I also really love Gaeilge (Irish) right now so I might post about that here and there even though I’m not studying it. I am also very passionate about linguistics.

My Goals for 2021 🧿

I want to reach C1/C2 in French by the end of the summer. If not, then by the end of the year.

I want to reach B1 in Swedish by May/June and B2 by the end of the year. Edit: i paused my swedish studies to prioritise Italian

I want to start Italian in May/June and reach B2 by the end of the year. Edit: i want to reach B1 by the end of August

French is and has always been my priority- it’s my preferred language, honestly.

Langblrs and Litblrs I love (so far)

Several blogs have that helped me and inspired me to start my own!

Slowing down conversation in danish 🇩🇰

Inspired by @svensklangblr, who made a post like this for Swedish, so here is the same but with different spelling ;) 

(en) Samtale - conversation

(en) Sætning - sentence

(et) Ord - word

Undskyld? - excuse me?

Hvad? - what?

Hvad sagde du? - what did you say?

Jeg gik (lige) glip af det - i missed that

Jeg hørte ikke (lige) det sidste - i didn’t hear that last part

Vil du ikke (lige) gentage det? / Kan du ikke (lige) sige det igen? - could you repeat that

Kan du ikke snakke lidt langsommere ? - could you speak a bit more slowly?

Vil du (ikke) være sød at snakke lidt langsommere? - would you kindly/please speak a bit more slowly

Kan vi (ikke) snakke engelsk i stedet (for)? - could we speak english instead?

Hva’ - huh (or a similar sound as huh, will also do)

Hvad er det? - what’s that?

Hvad betyder det? - what does that mean?

Jeg forstod ikke (lige) det ord - i didn’t understand that word

Jeg forstår ikke (helt) hvad (det er) du siger - I don’t (fully) understand what (it is) you’re saying

Jeg ved ikke (lige) hvad det betyder - I don’t know what that means

Hvad mener du? - what do you mean?

Hvordan siger man ... på dansk? - How do you say ... in Danish?

Hvad er ... på dansk? - What is ... in Danish?

Hvordan udtaler man det her? - how do you pronounce this?

Kan du (ikke lige/ikke/lige) forklare dette/det her? - can you explain this?

Tak / Mange tak - thank you

Venligst (kunne du venligst...) - please/ kindly (polite and a bit formal)

The “lige” and “ikke” in parenthesis are a suggestion to make the sentence a little more informal/casual and is just how I felt I might say it.

So I’m a native Danish speaker, and this is just how I feel that I would talk.. Hope this was a bit helpfull, and if you have any further questions or suggestion just send me a message! :))

[inlanguagewedontsay]

In Swedish we don’t say “raccoon” we say “tvättbjörn (/ˈtvɛtˌbjøːrn/)” which literally translates to “wash bear” or “washing bear” and it makes me wonder if the person who named it had ever actually seen a raccoon before.
