www.celtography.eu Fíorghael (2005) Tagline: Ever get the feeling someone is talking about you? A short comedy film about language politics in modern Ireland.
So funny! Plays on the ever-present "I think they are talking about me" thing when people hear another language they don't know. Of course, in this case... she was! But it was all for a good cause... ha ha.
Her tone was so sour, it was so obvious, lol. The Vietnamese people at our local nail salon never sound like that! I mean, if they are talking shit, they know to hide it!
@@CrazyPangolinLady I mean it was obvious that she was trying to agitate them, but in the end, they never really caught onto why aside from snob. She never really meant Ill, just giving them the right push to learn.
@@dandydasyt4766 Well of course it's a comedy and quite clever, but her nasty talk could have pushed some patients over the edge assuming they did understand some of it.

The premise of this film was quite clever. I actually have a copy of the green book that the lady bought in the bookstore. The cover is worn, and there are a few notes inside, but all the pages are there and it is quite useful. My sisters are interested in genealogy and we have at least one Irish ancestor. Other than that, the family tree is quite diverse, with relatives from the British Isles, Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain, and Poland. My father’s first language is a minority language in northeastern Italy called Friulian, which is in the same category of Romance languages as Rumantsch and Ladin.
Even for speaking another language, that receptionist wasn't being subtle AT ALL! She was look right at them and laughing. I don't think you need to speak the language to know what she's on about.
I mean 6 months undercover to trick 3 people to learn the language? Surely there's a more efficient way to go about getting more people to want to learn the native Irish language.

@@anthonyinger2867 What a pompous douche. Get off your high horse and pull that stick out of your arse. And yes, I'm an Irish American girl and I speak English well. Prick.
@@anjpoteat Was born an raised in Ireland and I couldn't agree more. That's no way to promote our native language. So much love to any non-Irish people learning our language or keeping our culture alive!
Bhí an mhaith sin! (My guess as to how to say 'that was very good ' probably wrong but at least I tried) I am going to start learning the Irish language again.This excellent short film has inspired me!
Dia duit, conas atá do gaeilge aníos ? Úsáidim duolingo agus oibrim léis an teanga gach lá. That just means hello, "how is your Irish now? I use duolingo and im working with the language everyday." I couldnt of typed or understand a word of that 6 months ago. Tá ar teanga beo agus ta se gó hálainn. Our language is alive and it is beautiful.
Sin é go díreach - tá sí ag déanamh iarracht daoine a spreagadh chun Gaeilge a fhoghlaim agus a labhairt. Maith thú! Lean ort ag foghlaim na Gaeilge. Beannachtaí ar ais ó Mheiriceá ;)
No....this is Irish.....which is a form of Gaelic (along with Scottish Gaelic and Manx). It is not derived from Latin. It is a Celtic language, which, like Latin, is Indo-European.
Cé go mbeinn in ann í a thuiscint dá léifinn a focail, níor thuig mé ach cúpla ceann de na focail a dúirt sí ansin, ró-ghasta dom b'fhéidir. Seachas é sin, thaitin an gearrscannán go mór liom, ach tá náire orm nár thuig mé tuilleadh. Tá súil agam go spreagfaidh duine éigin cosúil léi feabhas a chur ar mo chumas gaeilge!

you're sorry and you call that broken Irish? oh my, and I was reading the translation jealous on how good you wrote it! I wish I could have followed more Irish classes when I was in Dublin. have you went ahead and learnt more in these 7 years? :)
Interesting. I noticed some words similar to other European languages. That is why I grouped our nations and cultures into a group of "Albarian" nations and cultures: Baltic, Celtic, Germanic, Slavic. For example similar: sé mhi sześć miechy/miesiące/shest' myesyatse sechs Monate/six months
"Ní gá Nations bás de taom croí, ar a gcéad teanga iad roghnaithe" (Lina Kostenko, scríbhneoir Úcráinis agus file). "Nations do not die of a heart attack, at first they are selected language" (Lina Kostenko, Ukrainian writer and poet).

Our language is still alive, but it is not spoken as widely anymore. During the Irish famine, most of the Irish speakers died or emigrated which impacted the number of speakers. I don't understand what you mean by "Are we English right now"? Are you asking if we speak English? If so, yes - we speak English. But also some of us (like me) speak Irish also.

MORE IRISH PLEASE DON'T LET LANGUAGES DIE.
DON'T LET IRISH DIE.
I want to learn Irish. It’s absolutely beautiful to listen to.
@hahabinga They said "Brilliant. This is a very good film. The ending should be true, and the whole world should learn the Irish language."
I love Irish. I would love to learn it
This was funny! Well, motivation is the most important thing when learning a language... :D
As a Kurd when i watch it i got emotional. I said wooow. It was perfect
Absolutely Fantastic!!!!!
I only just got this brilliant joke right now.
*hangs head in shame*
Brilliant! I'm appaling at unravelling plots but even before I realized what's going on still a little treasure!
Lol. I love it. I can't get enough of the Irish language, culture and people. I'm half Irish and half Mexican. Bless you Ireland
Miguel O’Hara??
What a cute film! I loved it!
That was cool! I really liked the music too. Short, but entertaining
That's a twist.
Bhí sé iontach greannmhar ar fad! Bhain mé a lán sult as an ghearr-scannán seo!
Even for speaking another language, that receptionist wasn't being subtle AT ALL! She was look right at them and laughing. I don't think you need to speak the language to know what she's on about.
Just finished to the end. I suppose that was the point! 😂
I mean 6 months undercover to trick 3 people to learn the language? Surely there's a more efficient way to go about getting more people to want to learn the native Irish language.
Good start would be to reform the shitty curriculum
Hey, more than 3 people went there
It's almost as though it's a film
It's a comedy.
Go raibh maith agat, a chara! Tá mé i ngrá le hÉirinn agus le Gaeilge, ba mhian liom an teanga seo a labhairt níos fearr ;)
Is teanga draíochtuil i an Ghaeilge

That is so perfectly wonderful!!! LOL
Brilliant!
@empyrionin I am proud :) Thank you for your comment.
Brilliant 😁😁😁🇿🇼 I love the message
you're so lucky to know Irish...I am an Irish-American and it is my dream to learn one day.
You so called Irish Americans would do well to learn to speak and spell English properly.
@@anthonyinger2867 What a pompous douche. Get off your high horse and pull that stick out of your arse. And yes, I'm an Irish American girl and I speak English well. Prick.

Wow, thanks for posting this. I've been wanting to see this for years but I couldn't find it anywhere - Maith thú a chara!
😂😂😂👍👍👍 Love it!!❤️
Irish language is so beautiful as well its country 🎶 and culture
Make more art in Irish. Please.
It’s so sad that chapters is closed now
Haha that was great :')
Ah jasus, Waterstones @ 4.00 that's not here anymore. :(
Great movie, Irish people, please learn your beautiful language!

I think it was derived from Gaulish.
@@slickstache3035 No, Gaulish was from the (now extinct) Continental Celtic branch of languages. Irish is from the Insular Celtic branch.
this was awesoooome jajajajaj
nice one
does anyone know where to find a copy of this script
6:29 oh damn, cinematography
Ar fheabhas! Iontach maith an scannán seo. Ba chóir don deireadh a bheith fíor, agus don domhain uilig Gaeilge a fhoghlaim. :D
Nach mór an trua é go bhfuil Irish section againn is nach bhfuil English section againn?
Bhí sé go craic seo!
Rinne tú go maith! :D

Den scoth! Múineann gá seift, gan amhras ar bith!
I hope some handsome dude brings her a box of chocolates and flowers, make her regret she ever sat down at the reception.
ba bhrea liom an clar geantrai ud a bheith feiscithe agam
Is brea liom é!! Go hiontach 👌
Ha ha was a bit slow to start, but great twist
Je me sentais très triste pour la femme dans le début de la vidéo :(
Idem, cette secrétaire est une vraie peste :)
Same here. I was feeling very sad for the woman at the start of the film. Yes I understand French. In my 2nd year ou deuxième année.
Ouais, moi aussi :( Peut-être que elle est plus sur de soi à cause de la réceptionniste.
The couple sound pretty Norwegian when they speak Irish
I loved this! It's got such a moral message. Always crass to talk about people in an unkind manner in front of them, in a different language.
lol brilliant
when aisling and medb are talking at a party and I just know they're slagging me off but i can't call them out without them acting like i'm some nutter!!!!!
Dáiríre? Tá Gaeilge iontach agat!
Why does she answer the phone 'hello' instead of 'Dr.' whatever when her friend calls
caller ID?
And I'm sad - my people lost the language several generations ago.
Tá sí fós beo! Is féidir linn í a fhoglaim agus í a labhairt anois. Níl sí marbh, geallaim duit é sin.
Hiontach! Se an tabhachtach gcabhair a gach duine leat mhaith foghlain Gaeilge.
How do you spell that word at 2:12? My mom always used to call me that lmao
óinseach

Interesting. I noticed some words similar to other European languages. That is why I grouped our nations and cultures into a group of "Albarian" nations and cultures: Baltic, Celtic, Germanic, Slavic.
For example similar:
sé mhi
sześć miechy/miesiące/shest' myesyatse
sechs Monate/six months
The word you are looking for is "Indo-European" languages, and it isn't a new idea by a very long stretch of time.

The ending was disappointing and unrealistic. Her “big job” should have been ministers and parliamentarians in the Republic of Ireland!
Receptionist at an important govt building!
Rightly put, put the sod in his place, people like this should be put to the gallows.
The pronuntation irish is similar to the hebrew
