Tir Nan Og
A lovely little animation from YT
Hopefully not posted yet. If so, sue me.

This is gorgeous, but the title would normally be written "Tír na nÓg". The "n" prefixes the noun (eclipsis, I think) for the genitive plural. /monday morning pedantry

No, the title is exactly as it's shown in the video @00:28.

> No, the title is exactly as it's shown in the video @00:28. I didn't say the title doesn't match the video. I just pointed out the normal way to write "Tír na nÓg".

*smacks head* Post a lovely little video and they fixate on the title. You're both right. Can we now move on?

I don't care about the title; I'm sitting here bawling my eyes out. What a great little film. I need a cup of tea.

This was very beautiful. My father died years ago, and my mother is 87 and presently in a rehab after suffering two strokes. I drove hours to see her this weekend and returned home sadly, unsure of whether I'd see her again. And I watched this film together with my bird. So it hit a bit close to home. I cried. Thanks, BlueHorse.

This was the Irish land of eternal youth? A pub of the same name just lost its founder, Billy Briggs, who will never age more than 56 years...

Such a lovely film! Thank you, BlueHorse.

Tír na nÓg Please, I emplore you, my dear sir: I bow my head, and I call upon your knowledge of my utter ignorance, which I believe you have seen exemplified upon this site a thousand times. As therefore your student, and with the love I bear for you, I ask you to tell me how I could pronounce these letters, and to communicate this in a form befitting my monoglot ineptitude; those words being a close mystery to me, ever since I joined this city, which that melifluous ilse continually blesses with her daughters and sons.
-
Oh, that's a nice one.
-
Kinnakeet, you're most welcome. I'm sorry for your troubles.

... ... ... I ask you to tell me how I could pronounce these letters ... ... ... TEER nah n’OH-G Here's a cheesy Gaelic rock song about it.

Thanks!
