In Irish, there are three elements in the copula construction:

Grmma, a chairde!

I have a póca full of suggestions now! :)

So, for now, I've got 2 confirmations for this one?

níl ar mo chraiceann ach cuimhneacháin díobh."

I loved Bhríd's suggestion though, using marcailte, which for me (a beginner) sounded great.

If I make a mix and match with the phrases above, I wonder if I can get something coherent/meaningful out of it?

"Tá na nóiméid is fearr marcailte ar m'anam;
níl ar mo chraiceann ach cuimhneacháin díobh."

I'd love the word "marcailte" to be in there instead of tatú. :P

I think that was meant to be marcáilte with a síneadh fada over the second a, wasn't it a Bhríd? ;)

It does have a nicer ring to it than tatú. :yes:

Adjusting, we now have:

Tá na nóiméid is fearr marcáilte ar m'anam;
níl ar mo chraiceann ach cuimhneacháin díobh.

Awaiting confirmation ...

Hi everybody!
I'm glad my mix and matching made sense! Haha.
Can we get a confirmation for it?

Tá na nóiméid is fearr marcáilte ar m'anam;
níl ar mo chraiceann ach cuimhneacháin díobh.

Thanks again, guys! :)
