Il thread ha ricevuto molte risposte, quindi ho pensato che sarebbe stato carino creare una mappa.

Sembra che abbiamo un isogloss per "sì" uso che si estende all’incirca lungo il confine dell’Ulster. Alcuni commentatori hanno affermato che anche il nord-est di Mayo, Sligo e il nord di Longford sono un paese aye. Per qualche ragione anche Wicklow dice di sì secondo il thread.

    Sligo should be yellow. We were not big users of the auld ‘aye’

  2. I’d wager Waterford being in the red, haven’t heard Aye in these parts at all.

    More of a “well boy/girl” sort of place.

    One of the things that surprised me moving down south.

    North Tipp and Offaly are fierce for “ya”, parts of Laois too

    No data for Leitrim because the place doesnt exist

    I would say in Kilkenny and Carlow it’s also not common at all. I know a couple of people who use it but I’m certain they picked it up elsewhere (in my case for sure)

    Kildare should be aye. My grandparents always said it.

    Aye is absolutely not something said in the West and Midlands.

    I’m not saying that literally nobody has ever uttered it, but it’s not a thing at all.

    I say aye (in Wicklow) but I do think I just started doing it ironically as a teenager and it stuck

    Ive never realized how much I said aye before also north Leitrim definitely uses it

  11. PopularDot8983 on

    Wicklow all my life can’t say I’ve ever heard it said

  12. sauvignonblanc__ on

    Older people in Drogheda use *aye*. It doesn’t confuse (unless they are blow-ins). 😆

    I’m from Meath and I use aye often, originally jokingly, but I’ve gotten used to it now, but most people here wouldn’t say it really and either respond with yes or yeah, or back with the verb

  14. Green_Sympathy_1157 on

    Leitrim was polled but they couldn’t find anyone to ask

  15. Pitiful-Mongoose-488 on

    The hill folk of north Kilkenny / south laois use Aye!

  16. No_Pipe4358 on

    Ah yeah. In carlow we use it ironically to let people know we’re more selfish than they expect. Clean your gutters? I would aye!
