Can you help me with both "three grains of corn" or "give me three grains of corn" and also "justice then peace" Thanks for anything three grains of corn... trí gráinne arbhar give me three grains of corn.... tabhair dom trí grainne arbhar justice then peace....Cóir roimh shíochaín (justice before peace) Pawdrag, I am a beginner. If you are wanting these for something permanent, like a tattoo, please wait until someone more learned reviews this.

mé is aéirinn- should be an accent over the i in 'is' but computer won't let me, anyway does this translate, "I am Irish"?

No, its gibberish im afraid. Theres no accent on "Is" (its called a fada in Irish) either. I am Irish is : Is Éireannach mé.

mé is aéirinn- should be an accent over the i in 'is' but computer won't let me, anyway does this translate, "I am Irish"? To put fadas (accents) in text you can use the following: While holding down the left hand alt key and using the right hand keypad type the following sequence of numbers á 0225 é 0233 í 0237 ó 0243 ú 0250 Á 0193 É 0201 Í 0205 Ó 0211 Ú 0218

Mac_talla, tá mé measartha cinnte go bhfuil an ceart agat.

Alternatively, or if you've no memory for such 'shortcuts' like myself, you can find (if you're running a Windows O/S) the Character Map tool. It's typically found via the Start Menu > Accessories > System Tools. What I do is create a shortcut to the Character Map and put it on my Quick Launch Toolbar for easy access, then just use it for copy & pasting. :wink:

Hey, how would the following phrases be pronounced? Ní síocháin gan saoirse= no peace without freedom. Mo chairde=my friends a chairde=used when addressing your friends in person Bás nó an bua=Death or victory (Irish equivalent of with my shield or on it ) Beir bua=Until victory Ní neart go cur le chéile=There is no strength without unity Tír gan teanga, Tír gan anam An Phoblacht Abú! (Up the Republic) Slán, Fenian

Btw, thanks for the reply above about "I am Irish", but how do you pronounce it? Is Éireannach mé "ees erin-ack- may"?

I can't verify the authenticity of these pronounciations, but have found these sites useful: A GLOSSARY OF IRISH TERMS AND ACRONYMS (includes pronounications) http://uk.geocities.com/fenian32eire/acronyms.htm Irish Phrases & Words http://www.ireland-information.com/irishphrases.htm Irish Lesson Handout with Celtic Harpist Dennis Doyle http://english.glendale.cc.ca.us/gaelic.html

Mac_talla, tá mé measartha cinnte go bhfuil an ceart agat. Go raibh maith agat, a Dhoire. I have a funny feeling arbhar should be in the genetive. Perhaps prionsius will stop by.
