Talk:Tír na nÓg

message: Is this IPA transcription [tʲi:ɾʲ n̪ˠa n̪ˠo:g] really correct? The symbol "ˠ" doesn't even exist on the Help:IPA page. The one I find resembling it most is "ɣ" but I doubt it should be pronounced like that. Please confirm  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.70.145.44 (talk) 11:29, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it is correct. The symbol "ˠ" means velarization, which occurs for all broad consonants of the Irish language. See also Irish phonology if interested. It's not easy, I know :) Torzsmokus (talk) 16:19, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronounciation? 

message: The Chinese legend "The Flowering Peach Tree" wich took place in the mountains, & the Japanese story of Urashima Tarō wich took place in the sea, are identicle for the most part.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.161.122.193 (talk) 22:55, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Other than the time difference offset in the stories little is similar, no Irish texts would have been in Japan at the time and vice versa, considering The Tir na nOg story predates the Japanese story; The Fenian cycle starts in the 8th century, the Japanese story appears in the Muromachi period in the 15th century. Most mythologies around the world show similar structures, themes, and concepts, without a historical genetic link it is highly dubious to speculate.TheBookishOne (talk) 00:32, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Parallels

message: I have put information specific only to Tir na nog here, to have separate articles for the individual subjects of Mag Mell and Tir na nog. It might be useful to have a combined article, something under Otherworld, which would link to the pages individually.--Cuchullain 05:59, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Specifics 

message: I wonder if it might not be useful to link to authors and/or book series which have used Tir na nÓg in some way in their settings? For example Joel Rosenberg used it as the name for the fantasy setting of his cross-over series "Keepers of the Hidden Way".--Crossmr 23:52, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think so, lists of that type aren't very encyclopedic and are typically unmaintainable.--Cúchullain t/c 00:06, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Nine Princes in Amber also refers to Tír na nÓg by name, but with a different concept, apparently. I guess that adding references to literature which interpret "Tír na nÓg" in it's own way isn't helpful. --Klaws (talk) 13:11, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fictional Uses 

message: Irish folklore also often has Tír na hÓige "land of youth" (vs. Tír na nÓg "land of the young (people)"    I think Tír na hÓige is the Ulster version, and perhaps Connacht as well.  Should this perhaps be included too?   Also, should a literal translation of the Irish be provided?  There is no "eternal/ever" in the Irish. Cmconraoi (talk) 21:09, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tír na hÓige 

message: Not very encyclopaedic to have a "rough" meaning so I've changed it.  Tír na nÓg is best translated as "The Land of the Young".  Yes, there's only one definite article in the Irish, but that's just because two would be against the rules.  The expression is still definite overall so should have two articles in English.  Óg is the noun meaning a "young person, youth or young animal".  The word for the concept of "youth" as in "young-ness" is Óige so the Irish for the original "rough meaning" would be Tír na hÓige.
I'll leave it to someone with a better idea/references to figure out whether Tír na hÓige worth mentioning as an alternate as suggested above, but I suspect that Tír na nÓg (or rather Tír inna n-Óc) is the older/original formulation.

thread_title:  Meaning 

message: I added content on "Oisin in Tir Na N-Og" and put a citation for the plot summary. I considered making the story have its own page, but felt it would be better to include it in this article to build up the mythology of Tir Na N-Og. Mags0518 (talk) 20:39, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Oisin In Tir Na N-Og 

message: Tir Na N-Og makes an appearance in the video game Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon. Is it ok to add it as a media appearance to the Wikipedia page?  CcfUk2018 (talk) 18:09, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
