Hello all. I am new here and always wanted to properly learn Irish Gaelic myself. However, not to jump in all quick and bother you lot for translations, but since I am not as familiar with the language (spelling in particular), since my exile to the southern part of The United States of America as of a decade ago I am rather sort of doing just that. I've a friend who wants to have the Irish Gaelic translation of "Loving Mother" as a tattoo for herself in honour of her Mum and since I was absolutely no help in translating the Arabic parts, she came to me for the Gaelic one.

Would this be " máthair ghrámhar " or am I misled on that?


Thank you, kind gentlemen.

Hi Dullahan welcome to the forum!

Máthair Ghrámhar is indeed correct, may I ask where you got that translation?

Please wait for somemore input!



, we have a few ladies around here too!

Cian

There are a few bits and pieces that I (think) I know. Google helped me double-check the spelling I ended up with.

Oh, well, you must have got it right on your own then, because Google seldom does.

Good to know I still remember some things. Sad when an Irish kid like me has to tell people "Uh...not much, no" when they ask if I speak the language.
