I want to get a tattoo in Irish Gaelic in a couple weeks. I want it to say:

"May all God's blessings descend upon O'Reilly"

"You can't understand what you haven't experienced"

"The family of O'Reilly"

"The Clan of O'Reilly"

I appreciate anyone's help.

Go dtuga Dia gach beannacht don Raghallach.
Ní tuiscint go taithí.
Muintir Uí Raghallaigh
Clann Uí Raghallaigh

Please do not ink before this is discussed here and three agree on a final translation. Have a good Christmas.

Be sure to get three in agreement with a translation given.

Braoin is much more knowledgeable than I about Irish, but...... in this instance, I think Birish may be looking for 'Muintir' for 'Clan'. If you mean the whole extended family, people close to you etc. I would suggest 'Muintir'.

For 'family', it depends what you mean. 'Clann' seems to be acceptable in many quarters as a straightforward translation for 'family'. Strictly speaking, I think it refers only to your children. Teaghlach for the household. So for 'The family of O'Reilly' it depends what exactly you mean.

AFIK, the historical reason for the meaning of 'clann' as kids comes from the use of the word to mean all who are descended from a common ancestor, thus they are all the 'children' of the first man thus one's own babbies are part of the continuum
