#ceol éireannach

[readingtheentrails]

Go raibh míle maith agaibh, Soda Blonde! Bhí oíche den scoth agam, ceolchoirm deireanach na bliana dom.

Bhí bliain iontach agam le ceol agus seónna. Tá siúl agam go mbeidh 2024 mar an gcéanna 🙏

Thanks a million Soda Blonde! I had a brilliant night, my last concert of the year.

I had an amazing year of music and shows. I hope 2024 will be the same 🙏

Identifying Gender

How do you know which nouns are feminine and which are masculine? The basis of words being masculine or feminine is not very regular. Fear is masculine, bean is feminine, but cailín is masculine. Generally, words associated with women are feminine, such as cistin, cuisneoir, clann, ceol, and ealín and words associated with men are masculine, such as carr, ríomhaire, and teach. However, most seem completely arbitrary.

I do not recommend memorising the rules below because the gender of a noun becomes easier to decipher as you become more familiar with the language. You’ll soon realise that phrases like an chóisir sound right and ones like an aerfort don’t.

The below are some general guidelines, but they’re not golden rules by any means:

Masculine

Most professions

Words ending in -adh, -amh, -aí, -án, -ar, -aire, -as, -éara, -aeir, -éir, -eoir, -óir, -úir, -éad, -ste, -ú, -ún, -úr

Words ending in -ín (diminutive)

Bisyllabic words ending in -a (such as mála)

Monosyllabic words ending in -cht (such as bocht)

Derivatives using -ach (Éireannach, Gearmánach, Sasanach, Caitliceach)

Feminine

Country names (except Sasana, Ceanada, Meiriceá)

Languages (except Béarla)

Words ending in -áil, -aíl, -eog, -óg, -seach, -lann, -íocht

Polysyllabic words ending in -acht (such as Gaeltacht)

Words ending in -ach, except derivatives (such as báisteach)
