Dia daoibh,

My Irish is reasonably good, but one thing I've never understood how to do is say:

I would like to <verb>


I know that to say "I would like to do my work", I should say "Ba mhaith liom m'obair a dhéanamh". But how do I say, for example, "I would like to move"?

Go raibh míle maith agat.

Tá fáilte romhat, a chara. Ba mhaith liom bogadh (tí?/oifige?).

More on 'ba mhaith liom'.... http://www.focloir.ie/en/search/ei/adv? ... =ga&page=1

:yes:

I would like to <verb> = Ba mhaith liom <verbal noun>
