WOW Thank you all so much, this helped alot!! I appreciate your time, I had extreme difficulty on where to even start!!!

I'm a beginner at this, so please excuse my confusion...
Would the translation

tá beirt mar aon; ní duine dada

This is for a meaningful tattoo so the proper translation is imperative!!! Some of the ones suggested were a little too long if I were to get the tattoo. So if the phrase could be shorter yet still have the proper translation, it would work beautifully!!

Thanks again for everyone's time and help. I love this sight!! I have learned so much already!!

Bumping this up for more input/confirmation.

I'm not sure at all about Ní duine dada. Isn't that the same as saying Ní Sean fear for Seán isn't a man?

Ní fiú faic duine amháin = one person is worth nothing

Wait for further comments.

Another suggestion: Ní héinní aonarán

Ah, so it is. Ní Seán fear* should be Ní fear é Seán, shouldn't it?

So would Ní dada é duine amháin work?

But Scooby's suggestions are better.

Perhaps spelling éinní out as aon ní might give a special visual effect from the reappearance of aon:


Beirt mar aon; ní aon ní aonarán.


If that works, of course. (According to na Bráithre, appending an h to aon is optional.)

Await further input ...

Could this be considered?
