Craic (/kræk/ KRAK) or crack is a term for news, gossip, fun, entertainment, and enjoyable conversation, particularly prominent in Ireland. It is often used with the definite article – the craic – as in the expression "What's the craic?" (meaning "How are you?" or "What's happening?"). The word has an unusual history; the Scots and English crack was borrowed into Irish as craic in the mid-20th century and the Irish spelling was then reborrowed into English. Under either spelling, the term has attracted popularity and significance in Ireland.

  • Craic edo crack (krak ahoskatu) Irlandan bai ingelesez nahiz irlanderaz edonon entzutea ohikoa den hitza edo esamoldea da. Euskaraz esanahi ugari izango lituzke: dibertsio, entretenigarri, solasaldi atsegingarria, txantxa... Hitz honen historia nahiko ez ohikoa da. Berez, irlanderazko craic hitza XX. mendearen erdialdean ingelesezko craic hitzetik hartutako mailegua da, hitz hau irlanderaz oso ohikoa bilakatu zen, ondoren irlanderatik berriz ere ingelesera iragan zelarik.

  • Craic ('KRAK'), eller crack, är huvudsakligen på Irland ett vardagligt begrepp som används för nyheter, skvaller, underhållning och talspråk. Ofta används termen tillsammans med den bestämda artikeln the: the craic. Ordets historik är ovanlig: ursprungligen lånades engelskans crack till iriskan som craic under 1900-talets mitt, varpå den iriska stavningen spred sig tillbaka till engelskan. Ordet är av stort kulturellt värde och betydelse med båda stavningarna på Irland. (sv)
