Well Hello! Tokyo-KT, and you are very welcome.

In the Irish language we would say 'Cead mile failte', this means one hundred thousand welcomes.

It's very nice to have an SVX fan from Japan with us. If we can be of help in showing you how to operate the forum features, please ask, we will do our very best to help in any way.

Please post pictures of your car and your events when you know how to use the uploads.

I don't think we can work with the Japanese character set using this software, but we have Japanese speakers here who I am sure would help in translating for you.

Welcome.

Joe

I thought that was Gaelic?

Yes it is Gaelic Jay, Gaeilge. The Irish word for the language is Gaeilge.

Spoken Irish Gaeilge and spoken Scottish Gaelic is very similar. I can understand Scots Gaelic if I watch Scottish TV. The languages have differences though, but they sound very similar.

That's as I came to understand it. I used to read under an author who favored Gaelic, his primary character would use the phrase Cead mile failte, and i understood it from that, spoken in the "language of the kings". Funny how two languages can be separate, but if you speak one you can understand the other.

That's true.

What's even funnier on a really small island like the Emerald Isle, we have three distinct dialects of Irish here. They are Munster, Connemara and Donegal or Ulster Irish.

Having been taught through Munster Irish as a child, I find the Donegal Irish most difficult to understand, their inflections are markedly different from the other two. Grammatically and as written though, they are much the same.

Sorry Danny.
