hey tumblr I found a word for you
Stuacánaidhe, n., one prone to take offence.
Stuacánaidhe de bhódhránaí mhíthuisceanach, a stupid huffy person.
Like in all fairness, tumblr.
THIS IS YOU.

Táim ag iarraidh Gaeilge a úsáid níos mó, agus beidh mé ag úsáid é anseo fresin, le aitriúcháin chun éinne ba mhaith leo mo póstáil a léamh.
I’m trying to use Irish more, and I’ll be using it here too, with translations for anyone who wants to read my posts.
Is breá liom Gaeilge <3

There was a famous king over the Laigin (Leinster-men), Ma Da-Thó his name. He had a dog. The dog used to guard all Laigin. Ailbe the name of the dog, and Ireland was full of the dog’s renown. There came (men) from Ailill and from Medb to ask for the dog. At the same time then they came and the messengers of the Uliad (Ulstermen) and of Conchobor came to ask for the same dog. Welcome was given to all of them, and they were brought to him in the hostel. This is the fifth hostel that existed in Ireland at that time, and the hostel of Da-Derg in the district of Cúalu and the hostel of Forgall Manach and the hostel of Mac Da-Reó in Breifne and the hostel of Da-Choca in the West of Mide.

I don't know where you get your delusions.: Seriously though after last night I'm just trying to imagine what life would be like if I did all my tumblring in Irish →

when I reblog a picture of a celebrity I like the tags would be all ‘#Ugh is fuath liom tú teigh amach le do agaidh #feach ar do suile feach ar do bheal #CONAS A BFHUIL Tú I NDARIRE?’
reblogging a really poignant moment from a tv show -…
‘Agus, a thaisce,’ arsa an mháthair mhór, ‘cad chuige nach dtug tusa freagra ar d’ainm?’
‘Is é ach ní m’ainm féin a thug sé orm,’ arsa an gasúr, ‘ach ainm eile. James… Níl cuimhne agam ar an chuid eile de.’
‘Gallagher, a leanbh,’ arsa an mháthair, ag déanamh gáire nach raibh a fhonn uirthi.
‘Agus, a mháthair,’ arsa an gasúr, ‘nár shíl mise riamh gur Séimí Phádraig Duibh a bhí orm. Nach é sin an t-ainm a tugadh i gcónaí orm?’
‘Is é, a thaisce,’ arsa an mháthair, ‘ach seo d’ainm i mBéarla. Agus Béarla a bhíos i gcónaí i dteach na scoile.’
‘Bhail, breast é mar Bhéarla,’ arsa an gasúr. ‘Níl dúil agamsa ann. Agus ní fhoglaimeoidh mé é choíche.’
‘Agus, a leanbh, an bhfuil tú ‘gheall ar a bheith gan bhéal gan teanga agus gan ábalta do leitir féin a léamh nó a scríobh nuair a rachas tú i measc na gcoimhthíoch?’
