Haigh a chairde,

Táim ag iarraidh an cheist mhór a chur ar mo ghrá geal. Is í an inscríbhinn gur mhaith liom a chur ar thaobh istigh an fháinne ná:

"Is tusa mo chroí".

An bhfuil aon fhadhb leis sin ó thaobh na gramadaí de?

Grmma,

Briain.

Looks okay to me.

Await further confirmation ...

Looks good!

Looks good to me as well!

I would say:

Mo shearc thú.

I may be in the wrong here. Searc would be more strongly associated with romantic love, I think.

There are myriad ways to say "I love you" in Irish. If we were being asked for a new translation from English, then other suggestions would be in order, but I think the main thrust here is to confirm that Brian's own chosen words are grammatically correct.

From the viewpoint of nuance, I don't think Is tusa mo chroí is wrong either. Searc is certainly more specific in its use and related to romance, but I don't think croí and searc are mutually exclusive. Croí simply covers a broader range but that range also includes "lovers".
