Irish Gaelic Translation

Re: Irish Gaelic Translation


Dani,
To pronounce the above correctly, say it like this:
Ta - say "Taw" (rhyming with "law")
Gra - say "graw" (again rhyming with "law")
agam - say o-gum (short "o" like in "hot")
ort - say "urt" (rhyming with "hurt")

If you've fallen for a paddy and want to marry him/her, then ask him as follows:
"Would you like to put your name under mine in the cheque-book?"

or (my favourite)
"How would you like to be buried with my people?"

Good luck!!

Thank you so much! And yes, I have fallen for a paddy...He is really sweet and I wanted to tell him I love him, with a little more meaning than with the traditional way...lol! Do you have any more ideas for things I could say to him?
Dani

Hi Dani24!

Like most Irish people, my grasp of the native tongue is pretty rudimentary (haven't used it since my school-days, neither today or yesterday!).

Here are some handy all-purpose phrases - i'll write them phonetically - all you'll have to do is repeat them exactly as they appear here!

Kun-os taw too in-uv? - how are you today?
Knock too on om-a-dawn! - aren't you the fool (affectionate)
Knock will on law gu bra? (isn't it a lovely day?) - say bra as in
underwear!

I don't want to presume anything in your relationship, but if you really want to impress him, try:

Fay-och er on rud moor shin! - look at the size of that thing!

Hope you're not offended! :wink:

Not at all offended! Although we havent really went that far, it would still be funny to use when I'm just joking around...Thank you so much!

Ok I need help! I am goin to get the tattoo ''I love you" in Irish Gaelic. But I really want it to say " I love him" But I can not find it ANYWHERE! If anyone knows how i could do that I would appreciate it so much!! And also what is the difference between Ta gra agam duit? and Ta gra agam ort?

my mom has a bowl that says something like the following (hard to read)

Binn Pothengelmunk What does this mean? The closest thing i found was "sweet pot holder"

They mean the same thing. Duit is just singular.
