I love this reflection, there's so much to mine regarding the relationship to emotions and feelings. I love 'Ta ocras an domhain orm' (can't find fadas on my phone). The hunger of the world is upon me. Couldn't get any more emphatic really 🌍😁
I’m glad you enjoyed it! And I agree! A lot of Irish ways to phrase our emotions and feelings do really capture how those things feel much better than the often more simple ways to say them in English.
Not just emotions: illnesses and names. Maybe the recognition that we are all subject to external influences and bound up in systems outside our control doesn't chime easily with speakers of imperial languages, such as English or Spanish, where the assumption of heroic individual autonomy is part of the Zeitgeist. (Long press on phone keys usually reveals a series of options with diacritics.)

This is great and SO true and says so much about the Irish language.
Absolutely! It’s impossible not to learn Irish and come away having learned about yourself and life by nature of the language’s structure. :)
So enjoy all that you are sharing here, Briana! I look forward to your posts and notes!
