The complete list of the 1000 most common Irish words

Irish —also known as Gaeilge— is a Celtic language native to the island of Ireland. Until the 19th century, Irish was the primary language in Ireland; English then gradually became the main language.

Recent decades have seen an effort to preserve and promote the use of the Irish language because it’s an essential part of Ireland’s heritage and cultural identity.

This list of the thousand most frequent Irish words comes from a statistical analysis on an extensive collection of Irish texts.

This vocabulary list aims to provide language learners with a resource to help them master the most frequently used words in the Irish language.

Filter by word type
  1. an
    [article]
    (the)

    “An” is the definite article in Irish. Unlike English, Irish does not have an indefinite article.

  2. a
    [determiner]
    (its, their, his, her)
  3. ar
    [preposition]
    (on)
  4. agus
    [conjunction]
    (and)
  5. i
    [preposition]
    (in)
  6. is
    [particle]

    The Irish word “is” often serves as a copula that translates to the English verb “to be”. For example, the Irish phrase “Is mise Seán” would be translated into English as “I am Sean”. For describing states, for example, “Sean is happy”, the Irish verb “bí” is used instead.

  7. go
    [preposition]
    (to)
  8. ag
    [preposition]
    (at)
  9. le
    [preposition]
    (with)
  10. é
    [pronoun]
    (he, him, it)

    An example of an Irish sentence that contains the word “é” is “Ná habair é, déan é” which means “Don’t say it, do it.”

  11. [pronoun]
    (he, it)
  12. de

    (as)
  15. sin
    [pronoun]
    (that)
  16. [verb]
    (is)

    The word “tá” is a conjugated form of the Irish verb “bí” (which means “to be”). Irish is a VSO (verb-subject-object) language, so the verb is often the first word in a sentence. For example, the English sentence “Seán is tall” becomes “Tá Seán ard” in Irish.

  17. leis
    [preposition]
    (with him)
  18. ach
    [conjunction]
    (but)
  19. ó
    [preposition]
    (from)

    In Irish, the word “ó” can be a preposition that means “from”. This word also frequently appears in Irish family names, as a noun meaning “descendant of”. An example is the Irish name “Ó Néill” and its English transcription, “O’Neill”.
