It's no problem = cuma liom.

[Cuma liom means "I don't mind", but the usage stretches to things like "it doesn't matter, it's no problem"]

Maybe something like:

Is cuma liom. Ní raibh ach tairiscint éigint ann, féachaint an dtiocfadh san isteach led chaoithiúlacht.

I agree.

Is cuma. Cheap mé go mbeadh sé níos éasca dhuit.

And moreover, as far as Ulster Irish is concerned, the word "fadhb" doesn't even exist :mrgreen:

, it has come because of school Irish, John Ghráinne says it in his last book if I remember well, and I couldn't find any occurrence of that word in the Ulster literature in Tobar na Gaedhilge. John Ghráinne said what is the "real" Ulster word but I can't remember it right now

I haven't seen 'Tobar na Gaedhilge' but I would be surprised if the word 'ceist' would not be acceptable in Ulster where the now recognised word 'fadhb' might fall.

wasn't aware you could use cuma liom in that way, but then I keep coming across different meaning and uses for words I know. siúl being on of the most common ones ive come across so far for having alternative uses than just "walk".

oh well back to the drawing board, the more I learn the more it seems I dont know

Thanks for the help.
