ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Filí

Filí is a special word used to describe poets from a long time ago in Ireland. They were like really smart people who knew a lot about the world and stories and they would use their words and language to shape the way people thought and felt. They would often sing or recite poems to tell stories about important things like battles or heroes, or even just to celebrate the beauty of nature. It was like they had a special power with words that could move people and make them feel things in their hearts. Kind of like how your favorite song lyrics can make you feel happy or sad or excited. Nowadays, the term filí is not really used anymore, but we still remember and appreciate the special art of poetry and the power of words to move us.
