What is the opposite of 'Ba chóir duit suí ansin.'? I know there are ways around it, but is there an opposite of this actual phrase?

I would say - as opposite to the above:
Níor chóir duit suí ansin.

I would usually say:
Ná suí ansin, le do thoil.

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

Nó "b'fhearr duit gan suí ansin"... "níor cheart duit suí ansin"...

Personally I don't use "cóir". So I'd say Ba cheart.../Níor cheart dhuit suí ansin.





Yeah that is usually the best.
Although sometimes it might sound bossy depending on who you are speaking to.

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

Actually, my question could easily have been about 'ba cheart duit'. I have never used 'níor cheart duit' or 'níor chóir duit', but have often used 'ba chóir duit' and 'ba cheart duit', the latter less frequently. Strange to use a phrase one way and never the opposite of it.

In Scottish Gaelic, I believe the natural opposite is along the lines of "bu choir nach dèan thu sin", making the negative refer to the action, not the obligation. (Consider that "you don't have to do that" indicates a lack of obligation, not an obligation against action.)

Is there a similar form in Irish?

There is, but it may be limited to bureaucratic contexts. At least, the majority of Ghits I'm finding for "Ba chóir nach..." are from official documents (most representing the consecrated phrase "Ba chóir nach rachadh na haighneachtaí sin thar X focal), with only a handful from personal blogs and the like. Ar chuala aon duine an leagan cainte seo i mbéal an phobail?
