The Official Gaelic (Irish) Translation Thread

[5 Sams]

Just spotted this thread FL/Mayo...

Agree with everyone above...

One thing I would say to anyone getting a tattoo is to make sure it's grammatically correct...
If they are getting MY FAMILY...then make sure they aspirate whatever word they use....i.e.



Mo Chlann
Mo Theaglach
Mo Mhuintir


another word I like is CINE....Mo Chine...literally means the race or tribe you belong to........


Good idea for a Tat BTW even though I dont like them

EDIT...whoops just saw that she has got it done...hope it turned out well.

I see that Google has now added Irish to the Google Translation tool.

How good is it hardstation?

Stick the first line of the "Hail Mary" into the Irish bit Ziggy and ask it to translate into English and I think you'll have the answer to your question.

To feed it, to Mary,
which many of ghrásta,
The Lord is with you.
You are blessed among women,
And is blessed to bhroinne result, Jesus.
St-Mary, a fairy DE,
Pray we peacaigh,
now, and at times death.
Amen.

Well Leenie it looks like you have a few football grounds spelt wrong in Irish there but at a wild guess in order they are:


Father Connolly Park
Tobin Park
Lochside/Lakeside Park

Or as we used to write on our "jotters" suas sios

Got a question for you native speakers.

What would be the Irish translation for "Conor McNessa, King of the Red Branch Knights".

How far off would my limp attempt be: Conchubhair MacNease, Ri Laochra na Craobh Rua

[Rossfan]

Ridirì in àit Laochra and you'd be grand.
Mac Neasa is dócha.

[Oraisteach]

Ross, cad e an difir idir Ridiri and Laochra?  Knights Agus Warrior, is Docha.  Go raibh maith agat.

[Rossfan]

De réir mo Ghaeilge  Laochra = Heroes.
