This is a word list that goes from, at the top - brilliant - down to OK and then on down to - a load of rubbish - at the bottom. The problem I have is that in the Irish dictionary very often I'm coming up with the same words where I'm trying to find a nuance of 'diminishing or increasing intensity' if you see what I mean, so I'm not quite sure if the Irish words are in the right order or whether they reflect accurately the English ones.

brilliant - ar dóigh ar fad

amazing - ar fheabhas

incredible - thar cionn

fantastic - iontach

really really good - an-mhaith ar fad ar fad
