I was talking to someone the other day and they said "I would have loven to be there".

"loven", not "loved". It didn't strike me as at all unusual, because I'm pretty sure that I would have said the same thing at one time.

Is this a #Dublin usage, #HibernoEnglish, or just an older form of an English past-participle that isn't heard much anymore?

Another little difference I enjoy is whether or not words like physics, politics, economics, maths are treated as singular or plural.

I love Hiberno English and the strange ways we say things but there's 1 phrase I can't figure out. My Nan used to say "faithin I did" to mean "you can be sure of it". Born in 1929 to a small farm, I am doubtful she meant "you can have faith in that assertion" but I'm open to correction. Has anyone ever heard this phrase before? @stancarey #HibernoEnglish #genealogy #Irish

@SimonB @ColinTheMathmo

Definitely means that you caught the train in #HibernoEnglish

Interesting piece from @naomiohreally (sub req). Is #HibernoEnglish going mainstream across the #EU?

Is the case of the #Latvian PM’s #Irish inflections an accident or intentional?

Might #BritishEnglish be falling out of favor because of #Brexit?

Someone definitely said 'come sit on my langar' and had to walk it back.

Couch my hoop. 😆

The Hiberno-English equivalent is "browned off"

she's feeling a bit browned off - tá sí ag mothú rud beag dubh dóite
I got browned off with it - d'éirigh mé dubh dóite de

Just an Irish thing or is this internship more than I bargained for? #HibernoEnglish #BetterToAsk #Ireland #Expectations #HornyJail
