Dia Daoibh a chairde,
I am looking some advice on a translation. I have only started learning Irish so I am still learning the ropes. I was wondering what the correct translation for "I am very proud of my daughter" would be? So far i have pieced together the following, but i am unsure if it is correct / the common way such a thing would be said.

"is bródúil mé de m'iníon"

Can anyone offer some advice? After looking "proud" up in the dictionary i seen various forms and not sure if they would all be correct in this context so i just plumped for this one.

Any advice you can give would be great!

"I am very proud of my daughter"

Táim an-bhródúil as m'iníon for a flat statement. Is an-bhródúil mé as m'iníon when one is speaking and brings it up as a new point


Tá bródúil agam aithne a bheith uirthi or Is bródúil liom aithne a bheith agam uirthi for pride in knowing her


What context are you using it in?


(Anyone else, please correct when/where wrong!)

It is in the context of an achievement i suppose. My daughter is starting school for the first time and i would like to tell a family member that i am proud of her starting school, hence the "i am very proud of my daughter".

I hope this clarifies the context

Tá bród agam ... = lit. "I have pride" (bródúil is an adjective which cannot be used here)

Go soiléir...

Ok so, would "Tá bród agam do m'iníon" work or should it be "Tá bród agam aithne a bheith uirthi"? I am unfamiliar with the literal translation of the second one

as, not do.
Tá bród agam as m’iníon. works.

The second one means that you are proud to know her.
I don't think it makes much sense to say that you know your daughter.

No it doesn't except for a big public ceremony, maybe

Thanks for the help. One last thing, the complete sentence i am looking for is

"I am very proud of my daughter Aoife. She is starting Naíscoil Ghleann Darach today"

What i have is :

"Tá bród agam as m'iníon a Aoife. Inniu, Is sí tosaithe Naíscoil Ghleann Darach. "

Nearly there!

Táím ana bhródúil as m'iníon Aoife, tá sí tar-éis tosú i Naíscoil Ghleann Darach inniu.

Naíscoil seems like a focal.ie term for Naíonra

Cian
