I'm sure like me, a lot of people here shamefully cannot speak Irish, but needs a word or phrase translated for them. Well I hope some of the Irish speakers on the board would be kind enough to provide help.

I'll start, how do you spell "Happy St. Patrick's Day" in Irish?

I am stating free lesson in the next few weeks. Anyone in the D15 area that wants to come along PM me. Any level Irish, if you can speak some now you will be able to raise the bar and help beginers like me.

Is this Irish only or will you be translating to Scots Gaelic too?
Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

Lesson 1.
St. Patrick's Day -  Lá 'le Pádraig.


Is the " 'le " an abbreviation for Feile?

I thought it was Lá le Feile Pádraig

ziggy,
change the thread title, gaelic is the english word for the football we play and the name of a language spoke in scotland. The name of the language in english is "Irish"
Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

Lá Fhéile Phadraig...................shortened to Lá le Pádraig!!

AZOffaly

So I elongated it instead of abbreviating it :) Class.

So what is happy St. Patrick's Day then?

Lá 'le Pádraig maith duit?

What's the Beannachtai (sp) La le Padraig?

Any chance of phonetic pronounciations for the mono-lingual?

Ziggy, I feel the same shame. I think this is a great idea, HARDSTATION, you could run an online language class, and maybe make a few bucks in your seemingly limitless spare time.....?
