In Irish When You Talk About Emotion

In Irish When You Talk About Emotion 1
In Irish when you talk about emotion, you don’t say, ‘I am sad’. You’d say, ‘sadness is on me’ ‘tá bron orm’.
And I love that because there’s an implication of not identifying yourself with the emotion fully. I am not sad, it’s just that sadness is on me for a while.
Something else will be on me another time, and that’s a good thing to recognise.
