I'm looking for an English to Irish Gaelic translation for : My World, My Life, My Love = My Wife! Please!!

My inclination would be to condense this a bit, using a natural Irish expression:

Mo chuid den tsaol "My share of life" (which is also taken to mean "my love")

If you want to get the "wife" part in there, perhaps:

Mo chuid den tsaol = mo bhean chéile

If you wanted to make it shorter, you could get by with eliminating "chéile" after "bhean"...although "bean" means "woman," it would be understood in this context to mean "wife."

The reason I propose using the "cuid den tsaol" phrase is not only that it sounds more natural in Irish, but also that the word you'd use for "life" and "world" in this context would be the same: saol.

Another approach might be to simply say:

Mo shaol, mo ghrá = mo bhean/bhean chéile My life/world, my beloved = my wife

Wait for more input, please.

I think these are good suggestions by Redwolf. More natural for Irish.

I was wondering how you would express the idea of 'equals' here - is ionann or perhaps is fiú ?

I'm guessing "is ionann"...with reservations. I'm not really comfortable with the equal sign here anyway...even in the original, it's not really an equation (it's not
x + y + z = c). I'd just have it as "is," personally: My wife is...".

My thoughts too. The equals putting me off even suggesting a translation that's otherwise quite simple.

I agree...it is odd.

With the translation we have so far, we could get rid of the equal sign in a couple of ways:

Mo chuid den tsaol: mo bhean chéile

Mo chuid den tsaol, mo bhean chéile

Mo bhean chéile: mo chuid den tsaol

Mo bhean chéile, mo chuid den tsaol

Is í mo bhean chéile mo chuid den tsaol

Etc.

Mo chuid den tsaol mo bhean chéile.

This construction without all the punctuations, symbols, etc.. is seen often in proverbs
and would be totally acceptable and understandable in Irish.

The most important element should probably come first, I think, although I'm not sure how you decide which that is in this sort of matter.

Perhaps:

Mo bhean is í mo shaol agus mo bheatha agus mo ghrá í.

I'm looking to get a forearm tattoo in honor of me wife. Its our 10 year Anniversary & she's always asked why I don't get her name tattooed on me, lol. So I wanted to do a nice Irish Gaelic saying in honor of her. Those words I asked for help with (My World, My Life, My Love, My Wife) is what I came up with. Thank you all for replying to help me get a translation for this too. I'm open to other ideas if you want to make suggestions.

Thanks Again!
