- Here I explain the days of the week in Irish, what they mean, and the origins of the words.
The days of the week are Dé Luain, Dé Máirt, Dé Céadaoin, Déardaoin, Dé hAoine, Dé Sathairn, Dé Domhnaigh. You can also use the forms An Luan, An Mháirt, An Chéadaoin, An Déardaoin, An Aoine, An Satharn, An Domhnach.
In Irish, four days of the week have names derived from Latin, and the other three relate to days of fasting performed by early Gaelic Christians.
I talk about the difference between Dé Luain and An Luan, and whether it is still obsereved.
Another interesting fact is that traditionally in Ireland the day begins at sunset, not sunrise. That's why you get terms like "'Oíche Shamhna', 'Oíche Nollag' etc.
On my blog I have links to sound files in three dialects.
00:00 What do you notice about the days of the week?
00:40 Run through of days
1:07 Monday / Dé Luain
1:47 Tuesday / Dé Máirt
2:08 Wednesday, Thursday, Friday / Dé Céadaoin, Déardaoin, Dé hAoine
3:26 Saturday / Dé Sathairn
3:34 Sunday / Dé Domhnaigh
4:04 Dé Luain vs An Luan, Foclóir.ie is descriptive not prescriptive
6:50 The day traditionally begins at sunset!

Ciara, your videos are awesome! I'm a Brazilian living in Ireland for over 7 years now, and decided to take up Irish ~for the craic~. I'm enjoying it so much! It sounds incredibly beautiful and although its spelling keeps throwing me off, I'm loving it!
Bom Dia Bárbara! Tá sé sin ar fheabhas. I hope the spelling catches on. The system is quite regular so I reckon you will used to it :-) Go n-éirí leat!
Instablaster.
It's so helpful to learn the reasons behind the names. Thank you!
The trick to graps might be to see De Céadaoin as The Wednesday or The Wedding day
and an Céadaoin as any Wednesday or a (an) Wednesday
I've never seen video chapters before! GRMA for taking the time to do that! Your videos are wonderful. :)
Míle buíochas 😁
GRM Ciara, fantastic content!
Another interesting session. Thanks for pointing out the difference between the use and construction of An and Dé and making us aware that in informal speech they are often incorrectly used. GRMMA a Chiara.
Even though I'm studying Scottish Gaelic at the minute, this was very helpful. The days are very similar. Your break down of Wednesday through Friday was extremely interesting by your explanation of the etymology. I can definitely see their structure after watching. Very useful in memorizing them as well.
Tapadh leat!
Ciara, the fasting referenced with Dé Céadaoin, Déardaoin, and Dé hAoine, comes from ancient Christian tradition which was once common to all Christianity. Christians lived out their memory of Christ by fasting on Wednesday to remember Christ's betrayal by Judas; fasted harder on Friday in remembrance of the Crucifixion; and celebrated the Eucharistic feast on Sunday to remember that Christ rose from the grave and defeated death on Sunday; hence Dé Domhnaigh, "The Lord's Day." While the Irish Church was originally independent, gradually, Ireland fell under spiritual control of the bishops of Rome (over the 1100's). This was after Rome itself had broken away from the rest of Christendom and formed the Roman Catholic Church, while the rest of Eastern Christianity (which was once connected to Ireland) become known as the Orthodox Church. Rome slowly changed its beliefs and slacked its practices away from the original Orthodox Christianity, and Ireland lost the ancient fasting tradition of abstaining from meat and dairy on Wednesdays and Fridays. However, the rest of the Orthodox nations kept this tradition alive down to this day. Ireland was once like Greece and Russia in her spirituality; look at what they have now, its it's the closest thing to ancient Irish Christianity.

GRMA!
@@miseciara TFR!
This is really interesting. I grew up in Bavaria and all had changed after the 2nd Vatican Council, but traditionally we ate Vegetarian on Wed (normally flour, egg and dairy based dishes) and fish on Fridays.
Go raibh maith agat 👍
ah grma a Ciara, love your lesson and explanations, its special.
Go raibh maith agat! I assume that you'll be doing the months of the year (míonna na bliana) soon. Keep up the good work.
What the focal?!What the focal?! Monday also sounds Mundane which also makes sense. Besides Roman and Italian one way to interpret the days of weeks can also be the heavy French influence on Irish. lundi mardi mercredi are French fof Monday Tuesday Wednesday with dimanche for Sunday
Dia dhuit Ciara! I badly needed a video on days of the week in Irish,as the concept was not clear in my mind! You explained every thing clearly! Dé Luain,Dé Máirt and Dé Domhnaigh reminds of Lunes,Martes and Domingo of Spanish, moreover I think Dé Domhnaigh is also like French Dimanche! Really a great video! I found it very useful and interesting! Físeán an-spéisiúil agus úsáideach!
Go raibh maith agat agus slán go fóill!
Go raibh mile maith agat. My Irish teacher pronounces the De part as a J. Is that regional?
Yeah, that's more associated with Ulster. 'J mar' is text speak for "caidé mar (atá tú)?' You can liste to examples from three dialects here: www.teanglann.ie/ga/fuaim/d%c3%a9_luain
What the actual focail is even going on? :) Thanks for these videos. I've been inspired and have picked up one of the language apps. I achieved the impossible and failed pass Irish back in the 80s - having been six years behind my classmates, after moving down south to Waterford from Dungannon. So, with your fun videos and this language app, I'm learning that I wasn't as completely ***te at Irish as I'd thought. 'Tanks a millin! 'Tanks!
This. Was. Awesome.
Troscad is a much older word for fast. Aoin has christian associations. Troscad had a magical connection and was used for fasting against people of a high status in the Brehon laws.
Spéisiúil grma!
Físeán iontach! I was taught that Dé Luain, Dé Máirt, etc means *on* Monday/Tuesday, etc while An Luan, An Mháirt etc is used to state what day it presently is. That's how I was taught to differentiate them. 👍🏻
The Latin related to Dé Domhnaigh is dies dominica, which like Ciara said means the day of Our Lord. I knew it meant that, but did not know the latin for it.
Go raibh maith agat!
Tá siad an-cosúil le Briotainis...
Gaeilge - Brezhoneg - Franςais
Dé Luain - Dilun - Lundi
Dé Máirt - Dimeurzh - Mardi
Dé Chéadaoin - Dimerc'her - Mercrudi
Déardaoin - Diriaou - Jeudi
Dé hAoine - Digwener - Vendredi
Dé Sathairn - Disadorn - Samedi
Dé Domhnaigh - Disul - Dimanche
Go raibh mile maith agat, a Chiara! Is fisean seo ar fheabhas ar fad! Bhi lan ceisteanna agam faoi na laethanta na Seachtaine, agus tuigim nios fearr anois. Beir bua agus beannacht! --Naomi
spéisiúil
This is a long shot...
But could you please... please...please do something that no Gaelchultúr course has.. Or any course I've attended..
Can you break down how we make questions in irish..
Like the five questions
Who
What
Where
When
How
Why..
Well six..
As an English Language teacher this is something we go through very early.
But I've yet to see one person explain the construction of these questions.
If you do.. Do a video, I will join your patreon and shower you with a small sum of money..
Or just message me back saying you will and don't until I give you a teachers fee or something..
Please for the love of cheese
Hi Stephen, cinnte breathnóidh mé air sin :)
maith thú
Love these videos so much! I'm a total beginner so these simple concept videos are perfect for me!
One question about how you pronounced Oíche Shamhna - is it only /i:hə/ or is /i:çə/ one way of pronouncing it too? I think that's how I learned it, but does the "ch" vary in pronunciation too?
GRMA!
Hi! Go raibh míle maith agat :) Unfortunately I don't know IPA, although I tried Googling it there to answer this question. The best advice I can probably give is point you in the direction of teanglann.ie where there are three (different!) pronunciations - www.teanglann.ie/ga/fuaim/o%c3%adche
Moon day [+], Mars day [+], Mercury day [?], Jupiter day, Venus day, Saturn day [+], Dies Dominica [+].
Cool Ear-rings Ciara
Yeah for Muslims and Jews also behind at sunset;
Concerning Dé Domnaigh / An Domhnach, I just assumed it came from the Gaeilge 'Domhan'.
Earth day?? Lol
Yeah tá sé cosúil leis san fhuaimniú alraidht!
Like for example an imríonn tú spórt
Is it...
Conas a imríonn tú é/i?
Or.. Conas a n - imríonn tú é/í..
...
Just a basic construction.. I know you're not a teacher.. But seriously if you Google this, or search it you are never told the construction of it.
It's not in Gaeilge gan stró..
In my work books..
On ranganna..
And I feel this is why Irish is not a conversational language.. At least in school
You can say what you want about irish and how it is taught but it is a purely answer questions..
Answer questions..
But we're Irish..
Cmon we ask about five questions in one breath when we wake up..
But yeah, I do hope you do a video or something on your blog! Thanks for the reply...
Níor scríobh mé é as Gaeilge mar anois.. Níl mé líofa ar cor ar bith, foghlaim í anois is arís ach mothaím rud éigin i mo chroí nuair atá mé ag caint os ard, os ard, nuair atá mé i mo sheomra suite ag féachaint mise féin sa scáthán.. Atann mó chroí agus mothaím níos difriúla, níos fearr ag an am céanna.. Tá sé an a deacair Gaeilge a chleachtadh.. .
Mar níl aon daoine ann ach.. Níl mé ag caint mar tá covid 19 ann..
Tá mé ag freastal ar ranganna Gaeilge anois.. Ar an idirlíon dar ndóigh..
Ag caitheamh na masc.. amuigh..
Ach níl sé oíche shamhna fós..
Nach bhfuil sé aisteach.. Ar aon nós..
Teastas sa Ghaeilge ghairmiúil leibhéal 4..
Ach fós cloisim na rudaí céanna Chúile am...
Cén chaoi a bhfuil tú..
Tá me ceart go leor..
Oh tá mé neirbhíseach..
Ná bí buartha..
Conas atá tú..
Go breá..
Cén chaoi a bhfuil tú..
Yeah. Good. Hahaha delirious embarrassed laughter.
Ba mhaith liomsa rudaí fíor..
Cén chaoi a bhfuil tú..
Bhuel.. Tá mé cantalach mar tá mé tuirseach.. Tá tuirse and domhain orm.. Dáiríre.. Mar níl aon caife agam fós.. Agus níl aon rud i mo cuisneoir agus tá mé stiúgtha.. Ach déanfaidh mé é níos déanaí..Agus ceannóidh mé rud éigin in centra..
Agus araile..
Is duine cantalach mé..
Is duine leisciúil mé.
Is duine fiosrach mé..
Is duine caillte mé..
Is Éireannach mé
Is baile átha cliathach mé..
Is duine bródúil mé..
Tá cúnamh uaim le Gaeilge
Tá sí beo..
Tá sí i mo chroí..
Ach tá ceisteanna uaim..
An bhfuil aon Ghaeilge agat..
Tada..
Ach tá mé ag iarracht..
Ar a laghad..
iontach
An-shuimúil. Ceist amaháin maidir leis an traidisiún den oíche ag tosnú le luí na gréinne. An sean-traidisiún é sin, nó an bhfuil sé fós i bhfeidhm? Cad é an téarma ceart i gcomhar 23:00 ar an Domhnach - Oíche Dhomhnaigh nó Oíche Luain? GRMA
Níl sé fós i bhfeidhm. 23:00 ar an Domhnach = 23:00 ar an Domhnach!
Cad é mar ata tu cira

maith thú a chara! yes you could say "is foghlaimeoir mé" which means "I am a learner", so that they know to speak a bit slower. :)
Tá do chainéal go hiontach. Rinne mé mo chainéal CZcams sa Bhrasaíl agus bíonn ag múineadh na Gaeilge i bPortaingéilis.
Maith thú a chara. Físeán den scoth mar is gnách!
Seán.
Bean and sock! What the focal?! DaVinki?! Who the focal is that?! What the focal?!
