An Irish Word a Day - 365 ways to speak Irish every day.
Many of us wish we had paid more attention in Irish class and could still speak the cúpla focal. When we lose our language, we lose a part of who we are. Here, Hector makes adding an Irish word a day to your vocabulary a habit that’s as easy as brushing your teeth.
Month-by-month, through stories, words and phrases, Hector takes us through the year with words from the practical to the magical, for every season and new moon. When you start the day, you’ll be able to name the gallúnach (soap) and ubh brúite (boiled egg). And when you look out your window and see the robin is building his nest again in spring, you’ll be able to greet the spideog through Irish. Reclaim your heritage (oidhreacht) by learning an Irish word a day and with Hector.
FONN:
INCLINATION, MOOD, TUNE, MELODY
FONN is the lilting of an Irish tune and the lilting of your mood. You can say AN BHFUIL FONN ORT DUL AMACH ANOCHT? (Are you in the mood to go out tonight?) or CAD É AN FONN SIN? (What's that tune?).
Like many words in Irish, it has a double meaning. When it comes to your mood, AN BHEUIL FONN ORT? is asking, 'Is your body in tune?' It's just one of the beautiful words you'll find in this book.
Like a river that's always flowing, we can hear the SRUTH (current) of the Irish language getting louder as it calls us to dip our toes in. Use An Irish Word a Day for a richer experience of living, and contribute to reviving a language - one word at a time, one day at a time.
