Rónan had Irish today and he mixed up “Duine gránna” with “duine grámhar” and spent the whole essay talking about how the person was loving instead of ugly. He then thought “Duine grámhar” meant funny which is “duine greannmhar”.

Sometimes Irish is just cruel.

*most times

This is why I hate and love the Irish language. It is beautiful and melodic, but at the same time it is so obviously … something which Irish people have put together.

#LIKE SERIOUSLY WHO SAID WE SHOULD BE LET ORGANISE A LANGUAGE#’SURE LETS MAKE GIRL A MASCULINE WORD WHY NOT’ #**extremely complicated grammar rules** **Except they’re only guidelines really** #LETS HAVE DIFFERENT WORDS FOR COUNTING PEOPLE THINGS AND IN ABSTRACT #IT’LL BE GREAT #no one gives a shit here i swear #an ghaeilge

Super extra bonus points for the fact that while Gránna means ugly, the name Gráinne, Comes from ‘gráidh’ an old dialectal spelling of ‘grá’.
