Everyday Words in Irish | 
#WeirdWordsWednesday @CBee
I know this is a beautiful word, but I laughed when I saw it because when you learn Irish, one of the first things you learn is I am hungry, sad, tired etc Ta mé tuirseach. I just think it‘s funny that I was telling the world I had a soul deep fatigue at the age of five!! Maybe that‘s why the Irish are known for their melancholy. Lol
Chrissyreadit this is me!!!! 3mo
Cuilin @Chrissyreadit 💜 I love how this word sounds tear-sha 3mo
Chrissyreadit I love that also!!! I love Irish Gaelic- i bought some pimsleur classes to try and learn it but it‘s still on my back burner. Do you speak Irish? 3mo

Cuilin @Chrissyreadit Not as good anymore since I don‘t use it. I use some apps to keep it. I‘m helping beta test Sionnach. 3mo
CBee I love this! I‘m mostly English with some Scottish and Irish so, my whole family is a melancholy lot 😂 3mo
Cuilin @lil1inblue 😆 3mo
Cuilin @dabbe yep, daily! 3mo
Amiable This makes me think of the German word “weltschmertz” —literally, “world-pain" or "world-weariness.” It describes the existential sadness or melancholy you feel about the state of the world and its inability to meet your idealized expectations. I love that other languages can sum up such heavy emotions in a single word! 3mo
Cuilin @CBee 😢😆 3mo
Cuilin @Amiable Yes. A few letters for a lot of feelings. 3mo
