Somebody please tell me how that's pronounced... Please... I beg of you.
Play on the name Niamh, pronounced Neeve
Damn I thought english was bad. How do you get neeve from niamh?
Irish spelling rules are actually very internally consistent, they just don't use the Latin alphabet the same way that English does. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_orthography
Oh I thought they meant irish as in irish english (the dialect, like how I speak australian english)
A lot of people think that Gaelic is what Irish actually is. Which they are two different languages
Because Irish is literally a different language. You wouldn't ask the same thing about French or Vietnamese or whatever.
Yeah I know lol, I was thinking irish english
Because "v" isn't a letter in Irish, but it is a phoneme approximated by "mh" or "bh."
I imagine it is similar to peeve
Neeve in the north/east of Ireland, Nee-uv in the south/west where I'm from, making this meme even more annoying.
