    Any gaelic speakers?

    I have a phrase I need translated into Irish Gaelic, but I'm no hand at the language. If it's beyond the introductory phrase book it's beyond me. If anyone can help it'd be greatly appreaciated. Either post here or E-mail/pm me.

    I know a little bit from fado. Hey maybe we should start an all-irish thread for the fun of it!

    An All Irish thread?!
    All I can remember is starting every single essay I ever wrote, regardless of the topic with :
    "La brea brothallach a bhi ann, ni raibh scamaill sa speir"
    Quality all the way.

    .

    The expresssion I'm most familar with, however probably not spellingwise, is "Tá athas an domhain orm, an chórn seo a glachadh". That's what you get when you are a native of a traditionally strong GAA county of course!

    Samarkand, good man that he is, is on the case.

    Tá mo bhríste trí thine ;) Got to love the phrase book.

    Yup.

    It's my favorite bit of Gaelic.

    Of course every kid had to know (pardon the spelling!):
    "An bhfuil cead agam dul go dti an leitreis?"

    Ahh now lads, come on, fadas! :) Did you get whatever you were looking for Meridian? I'm one of the about 5% who actually enjoys Irish in school! ;) Although I'm not sure how much use the Donegal dialect would be to you gasraí - an bhfuil girseach amháin anseo?

    Acutually I haven't heard from Sam today. I think I gave him a bit of a poser, what with it being complex grammatically.

    Aye. I'm sure it says "No Parking 9am-6pm Monday-Friday".
