Haigh!

Tá mé ag iarraidh mo chuid Gaeilge a chleachtadh trí aistriúcháin a dhéanamh de téascanna atá ar phictiúir is maith liom.

Seo thíos mo chéad triail as.

Aimsigh duine, a bhfuil a chuid deamhan in oiriúint dod chinnse.
Find someone whose demons are compatible with yours.

Seo an comhthéacs.

An ndearna mé jab maith de?

Gura míle!

Ceann eile.

Sé lá ar bith a chaithim i do theannta an lá is fearr liom.
Mar sin, seo an lá is nuaí is fearr liom.
Any day spent with you is my favourite day.
So today is my new favourite day.

Cinn eile:

Ná lig an traein gabháil thart gan stopadh.
Take that train. Don't let it pass you by.

Bhí sé saghas deacair Gaeilge a chur ar an gceann thuas. 'Bhfuil moladh níos fearr agaibh?

Ní ceannphointe é an tsonas, ach modh taistil.
Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling. (Seo athfhriotal ó Margaret Lee Runbeck).

Dia 's Muire dhuit a Niamh, fáilte 'dtí'n fóram seo.

I don't think you need the comma

Aimsigh duine a bhfuil a chuid deamhan in oiriúint dod chinnse

Other than that I would think it was perfect , wait for more confirmation.



I think it should be

Aon lá ar bith a chaithim i do theannta (id theannta) 'sé (sin) an lá is fearr liom.
Mar sin, seo an lá is nuaí is fearr liom.

Wait for more confirmation.



Perhaps for take that train:

Téir (Munster)/ Téigh ar an (d)traein seo

Go on that train (You can't really say tóg take here, though some would, as it doesn't have the same idiomatic meaning in Irish as it does in the English).

Ná lig don (d)traien gabháil(t) thairis.

Don't let the train pass you

The proposition "do" follows the verb lig/ Liog (Munster) i.e

An Ligfir/ An ligfidh tú dom gabháilt dtín aonach amáireach/ amárach? Will you let me go to the fair/ gathering?

Ligigí/ liogaíg (Munster) dom é sin a dhéanamh! Let ye leave me do that!

Níor lig an fear dom é sin a dhéanamh The man didn't leave me do that

Wait for confirmation on that



Ní ceannphointe é an sonas, ach an modh taistil

Happiness is not the destination, but a manner of travel

Sonas is masculine

Or

Ní hé an sonas (é?) an stáit le sroisint, ach an modh taistil (I prefer yours though)

Happiness is not a state (of being) to arrive at, but a manner of travel

Wait for confirmation

You did very great!

So I could say:

Téir ar an dtraein san. Ná liog di gabháilt thairis.

If I wanted to be particularly Munster? :-)

Go raibh maith agat!

Bhí tú go han-cabhrach!

(Na pictiúir)

Leog would be the more authoritative Munster spelling. Leig is the older Irish spelling of it.

I note that you have "an modh taistil" in both sentences, but you translate it as "a means of transport", don't know if this was accidental.
My real question is how do you use the article with genitive constructions like this, and actually with genitive constructions in general.
I know this is a big subject, but I would be grateful for a brief explanation, or even not so brief, if anyone is inclined to go into detail.
Thanks in advance.
