The Irish Words You Should Know : and how to use them every day by Hector O hEochagain

`The best book on the Irish language I have ever read - so funny, so soulful' Tommy Tiernan?Loinnir: The sunlight sparkling on the waves, or the merriness you feel after early pints of stout in the morning. ?When you speak in Irish, every word is a tiny poem that reveals a new perspective. The Irish language is our inheritance. It lives underneath us in the soil, it blows through the leaves on trees and rises from the roots. Hector O hEochag?in is on a mission to help us reclaim that inheritance. ?From beautiful and melodic words like LOINNIR and phrases like `C?N CHAOI A BHFUIL TU?' - the perfect greeting for when the postman stops by on a winter's morning; to `GAFA'- a way to say you're so busy you don't even have time to go to the toilet; `DAMANTA' - when you have an almighty headache or terrible hangover; and `SIOCTHA'- when it's so cold the grass is crunchy under your feet, rediscover the fun and magic of Irish words you can use every day. ?`The godfather of modern Irish brings new meaning, richness and relevance to our language' Paul Galvin
