    In some arabic countries, you say "t'bornee" as a way of expressing love.
    Literally, it means "May you bury me". That is, I wish I die before you so as not to taste your absence.

    A beautiful language <3

    Irish slang and expressions are weird.

    Some Irish proverbs and sayings-
    Is tú mo ghrá - You are my love.
    Cead Míle Fáilte- A hundred thousands welcomes.
    Gráim thú- I love you.
    [Is tú] mo chuisle- [You are] my pulse :) Or You're my darling/dear. I love this one xD
    A chuisle mo chroí- Pulse of my heart.
    Go síoraí- forever.
    An rud is annamh is iontach- the thing that is seldom is wonderful.
    Is ait an mac an saol- life is strange.
    Filleann an feall ar an bhfeallaire- Irish proverb. Translates roughly to "The bad deed returns on the bad-deed doer."
    Níl saoi gan locht- Not a wise man without weakness.
    Is minic a bhris béal duine a shrón- a mans mouth has often broke his nose (he said the wrong thing and bitch got punched)
    An té a luíonn le madaí, eiroidh sé le dearnaid- lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.
    Dá fhada an lá tagann an tráthnóna - No matter how long the bad day lasts, evening will come.
    Níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin- No fireplace like your own fireplace (No place like home)
    Níl aon cupán tae mar do cupán tae féin- No cup of tea like your own cup of tea. ^
    An té nach bhfuil láidir, ní foláir dó bheith glic - If you are not strong, be clever.



    (Local) Slang.
    All the following means to kiss/makeout (at a disco/club)-
    Shift (Did you get the shift last night?"
    Pull (He's on the pull!) I think this one comes from when (in mostly the travelling community) where they pull at the hair of the girl they want to shift)
    Meet (Anne and Joe met last night/Did ya meet her?)

    Yoke - can mean anything. Literally. "Get me that yoke" could mean get me the controller, the shirt, the chair. It's for when you cant be arsed to think of the name.
    Can't/couldn't be arsed- couldn't be bothered, too lazy.
    Right- wrong (sarcasm is real af) or okay
    Ye will- you wont
    Fucked it - threw it (he fucked the ball across the room)
    Maggot - messer
    Messer - someone who jokes around a lot, i.e the class-clown
    Messing- joking around
    I was only messing- probably saying this to a teacher when the catch you fucking around. It'll get you in more shit.
    Twat- idiot, used between friends, don't take offense.
    Ye - you (pl). pronounced yee.
    Ahin - the way we pronounce anything.
    Suttin - the way we pronounce something.
    Lickarse- same as sucking e.g axed's dick for admin *coughcough*
    Shittin it - really scared
    Feck - basically ****, a little more watered down. in most families the kids cant say ****, but they are allowed to say feck xD
    Hoor- very
    Cat - horrible (the windowsill looks cat with all the books on it)
    Queer- very
    Pissed - really drunk
    Off their head- really high/drunk
    Gaa- disco where people get the shift ayy
    Ur ma - ur momma. Ur ma can be used as a comeback in any situation. "Go suck a dick you bitch" "UR MA". Quick little funny story about this one. In my art class, the guy behind me responded to the slurs of the other guy with "your ma". 10 seconds later, Your Ma guy had a broken nose. Other guy had slammed his head into the desk and punched him multiple times. Don't insult peoples mothers.
    Mammy- your mother :) you love her. We're generally very protective of our mothers.

    After- used like "I'm after breaking me leg", just having done something.
    Fierce- very
    There- to end a sentence. "ahh haven't seen ye in ages there" "ah gowan there"
    Gway- go away, but different. When someone's at you, telling them to stop. Also telling people to stop when they're like "ahh you're goin' for the shift are ye" or whatever
    Gowan- you really shouldn't do this but yolo who cares you're doin' it
    Well - how're you doing?
