Irish Numbers 1 – 20 with video Posted by on Nov 7, 2012 in Uncategorized

numbers image by Irargerich via flickrWe’ve put together this table of Irish numbers from 1 to 20 for all students just getting started in the Irish language. We’ve also included a video with voice pronunciation below.  One of the most important – and difficult – things a self-guided learner needs to do is practice speaking your target language out loud.  Do it anyway; this is a very important part of the learning process!

    QQ – to say seventeen in Gaelic, do you use the “a” before? seacht deag or a seacht deag?

      @Ryan Skains A Riain, a chara,
      “a seacht déag” for most basic purposes, like “Bus a Seacht Déag” or “a seacht déag” mar chuid de sheoladh. But if actually saying how much/many of something you have, there’s no “a” (seacht mbó dhéag, seacht leabhar déag). HTH
