IRISH WORDS YOU SHOULD KNOW (HB)

When you speak in Irish, every word is a tiny poem that reveals a new perspective. In this book you’ll learn words like ‘LONNNIR’ (the sunlight sparkling on the waves, or the merriness you feel after early pints of stout in the morning) and phrases like ‘CÉN CHAOI A BHFUIL TÚ?’ – the perfect greeting for when the postman stops by on a winter’s morning. On the more colourful side, you’ll learn words like ‘GAFA’ – a way to say you’re so busy you don’t even have time to go to the toilet and ‘DAMANTA’ – when you have an almighty headache or terrible hangover.
