Hello All,

Me again! I think I want to change the phrase slightly. Instead of saying WHEN we are together, I am home (Nuair atá muid le chéile, tá mé sa bhaile), I want to change it to WHERE we are together, I am home. I believe that is "Cá háit muid le chéile, tá mé sa bhaile". Just want to confirm. Please and thank you :-)

Or maybe even "Wherever I'm with you, I am home" (Cibé áit muid le chéile, tá mé sa bhaile)????

* Correction - "Wherever I'm with you, I am home" = Cibé áit a bhfuil mé leat, tá mé sa bhaile ?????

Okay, last one, I promise.

"Home is wherever I am with you". That's what I'd like. Would that translate as "Is é an baile cibé áit a bhfuil tú leat"???

Sorry for the back and forth. This is for real the final revision.

Thank you!!!

Is í mo bhaile í, cibé áit ina bhfuil mé leatsa.
Literally: "It's my home, whatever place [it is] in which I am with you."

(I was wondering how that would be phrased.)

That did not translate the way I expected. I'm just going to stick with Redwolf's recommendation.

Thank you again,
Amanda

Amanda, I think it can be derived in a number of different ways. It's really difficult to get an exact word for word translation without seeming to change the meaning. If someone were to translate "Home is wherever I am with you" literally, I don't think it could be done correctly, viz. Is cíbe áit a bhfuil mé leatsa an baile.(??) Is é an baile cíbe áit a bhfuil mé leatsa.(??)

Thank you so much for the reply! I appreciate how helpful everyone has been.
