Hello everyone!

This is my first post! I'm looking forward to checking out the website and using it to further my knowledge on my national language as I would love to one day be completely fluent!

I would like some help for a translation I would like to get tattooed on my chest. This will be a big enough tattoo therefore I'm quite nervous about getting it in Gaelige as I'm not completely fluent myself!

I would like to get the words "Celebrate Originality" tattooed across my chest. I have looked online on various translators, however, I don't trust them and there's no way I would go ahead with something that I found from one without checking numerous times. This is why I'm doing my research beforehand. The translation I got back from Google was "Ceiliúradh Úrnuacht" however, I'm unsure if this is correct, partially correct or completely off-track. I was wondering could I get some assistance from a few fluent users on this website?

Also, if it's possible, could you also send me a phonetic spelling of the translation so I know how to correctly pronounce it?

GRMA, friends!

Ceiliúradh is a verbal noun form meaning roughly "celebrating". The imperative/command form for "Celebrate!" would be Ceiliúir [note the extra "i" which occurs in this form]. I've only seen it used in the context of celebrating mass, or a wedding, however, or things like that. One of the more fluent speakers can probably advise you better, but you may want instead to use something like "rejoice in originality". The "rejoice in ..." part could be "bí lúcháireach faoi ..." I don't think úrnuacht works for "originality" either. It means something more like "novelty". Instead, perhaps you should use éagoitinne. If I'm on the right track, then you'd have: Bí Lúcháireach Faoin Éagoitinne !.

This is definitely a bit of a toughie!

Taking a slightly different tack, what do folks think of:

Bain sult as a bheith difriúil: Enjoy/take pleasure in being different

Or...

Bain sult as na difríochtaí: Enjoy/take pleasure in the differences

Definitely wait for more input.

What about something like: 'Mol Úire'?

I am in no way trustworthy so wait for more.....

Hi Aiden... some grand suggestions already given. Perhaps you might consider one of these short options also:

Speaking directly to the reader:
Mol fíor
or, speaking in general:
Moltar fíor

"Praise a truth" / "Praise a thing that is true/authentic", etc.
or
"Let a truth be recommended/praised/celebrated" / "Praise/recommend/celebrate a thing that is true", etc.

If I were choosing one of these, I would go for the second option:
Moltar fíor
...sounds better to my ears!

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

I like the use of mol for this.

I would say:
Mol an duine féin. - Lit. Praise the individual
