2024-07-14 at 5:58 PM UTC in Donald Trump just got shot"Banjax" is an informal term, primarily used in Ireland and the UK, meaning to ruin, incapacitate, or break something¹². For example, you might say, "He banjaxed his knee in the game," meaning he seriously injured it.
It's a colorful word that adds a bit of flair to descriptions of damage or destruction. Do you enjoy learning about unique words like this?

2024-07-14 at 5:55 PM UTC in Donald Trump just got shotIrish English, also known as Hiberno-English, has some unique grammatical features influenced by both the English and Irish (Gaelic) languages. Here are a few notable aspects:
1. **Reduplication**: This involves repeating words for emphasis, such as "very, very" or "now, now"¹.
2. **Yes and No**: Instead of simply saying "yes" or "no," Irish English often repeats the verb from the question. For example:
- "Did you see the movie?" "I did."
- "Are you coming?" "I am"¹.
3. **Recent Past Construction**: The phrase "after" is used to indicate a recent action, such as "I'm after eating" to mean "I have just eaten"¹.
4. **Reflection for Emphasis**: This involves using reflexive pronouns for emphasis, like "I did it myself"¹.
5. **Prepositional Pronouns**: Combining prepositions with pronouns, such as "with him" becoming "withhim"¹.
6. **Use of "To Be"**: The verb "to be" is often used in ways that reflect Gaelic influences, such as "He is to be married"¹.
These features make Irish English distinct and reflect the rich linguistic heritage of Ireland.
Is there a particular feature of Irish English grammar that interests you the most?

2024-07-14 at 5:44 PM UTC in Donald Trump just got shotIn the Netherlands, the term "cheque" is used, following the British English spelling³⁴. However, it's worth noting that cheques are not commonly used in the Netherlands. Most transactions are done via direct bank transfers, debit cards, or other electronic payment methods¹.
If you have any other questions about banking or payments in the Netherlands, feel free to ask!

2024-07-14 at 5:41 PM UTC in Donald Trump just got shotIrish English and British English share many similarities, but there are some notable differences in vocabulary, grammar, usage, and pronunciation:
1. **Vocabulary**:
- **Irish English**: "Press" (cupboard), "Rashers" (bacon), "Runners" (trainers), "Gardai" (police).
- **British English**: "Cupboard," "Bacon," "Trainers," "Police"¹.
2. **Grammar**:
- In Irish English, questions are often answered using the same verb from the question due to the influence of Gaelic. For example:
- "Do you have a pen?" "I do."
- "Did you watch the movie?" "We did."
- Irish English also tends to repeat adverbs for emphasis, such as "very, very"¹.
3. **Usage**:
- Irish English often uses the phrase "on me" to describe something happening to someone, influenced by Gaelic. For example, "My laptop is after breaking on me"¹.
4. **Pronunciation**:
- The pronunciation of "th" in Irish English often sounds like "d," making "this" sound like "dis"¹.
These differences reflect the unique cultural and linguistic influences on Irish English, particularly from the Gaelic language.
Is there a specific aspect of Irish English that you're particularly interested in?

2024-07-14 at 2:44 PM UTC in How are you feeling at the moment..I haven't been functioning for weeks and don't have food in the house. So I have to go out today. But I've decided if I don't go out today then I'm gonna give up food and water because I can't go another few weeks like this. I think I would have done this before but I care about having energy to shower.
