Does "Tá cumas gan teorainn ionam." translate into "Within me lies infinite potential." ?

As these two requests were for the same translation, I have merged the threads.

I think this works, yes.

cumas is "capability, potential" and gan teorainn "without limit" is one way to express "limitless, infinite".

Tá ... ionam was what first crossed my mind when I saw "Within me lies ..."

There are no doubt other ways to express it as well.

Await further input ...

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

Be sure to get three in agreement with a translation given.
