How would you explain the difference between Gaelic and Gaeilge for someone who's not familiar with either term?
I used to think that the Irish language was called Gaelic until I read the comments on one of the Celtic Woman videos on Youtube (I think it was Don Oíche Úd i mBeithil--I don't recall) that said that the language they were singing in was called Gaeilge and not Gaelic.

♔ How to get by in a long conversation, and I think it's pretty important to provide some voice recordings or something like that.
Pronunciation!
And, the difference between the dialects. Which one is most commonly used? Can people understand with different dialects? (Which one are we learning?)

In school we're just tought a blend of them all.... like kind of irish that everyone will inderstand but were tought kinda all the differnt ways to say things so everyone from the difernt areas will no like. We will just teach ya striaght forward irish, no need really to get inta all the dialects, its the one langauge like. you write up a converstation and ill translate it for ya.... just to give ya and idea....

1LitreofTears_Sakura How would you explain the difference between Gaelic and Gaeilge for someone who's not familiar with either term? Gaeilge is the Irish Gaelic word for Irish Gaelic. Gaelic is an English word which refers to a family of languages, encompassing Gaeilge (Irish Gaelic), Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic), and Manx. Gaelic and Brythonic languages make up the two branches of Insular Celtic.

And it can be used as an adjective, too. : ) Chicken Royale said that Gaelic is a type of football but only when "gaelic" is put before "football". "Gaelic Football".

Can someone answer me about the Kila Conspiracy? Is this true? Quote: Éamon Kelly, the seanchaí, tells a yarn of the lazy character whose nickname was Tóg bog é. When he got married people were heard to say "Here come Tóg and Mrs Bog é". and... is it better to say " Glac go réidh é" instead? I found definitions ( Tóg go bog é)Take it easy, ( Glac go réidh é)steady on there now. How are these two phrases actually used i Gaeilge?

Tóg go bog é can be used kind of like calm down.. But it can also be used in just general chat, it's hard to explain to be honest with you. It's just something you say. I've never heard someone say glac go réidh é to me but i assume it's like calm down as well.
Sorry if i wasn't much use!

I would like to learn how to tell my husband that I love him in Gaeilge. We plan on renewing our vows, and I thought that would be very beautiful to say to each other, since we are both of irish descent.
