So, everything looks good then?

1. Sciorradh focail, gearradh scornaí

2. Aon fhear a dhéanann achomharc ar an dlí i gcoinne daoine eile, is amadán nó cladhaire é. Aon fhear nach féidir leis aire a thabhairt dó féin gan an dlí sin, is é an dá rud é. Mar déarfaidh fear gortaithe lena ionsaitheoir, "Má mhairim mé, maróidh mé thú. Má fhaighim bás, tá maite duit.

3. Go maire an té atá bodhar, dall agus ina thost céad bliain i síocháin.

Thank you all again so much. I apologize if I'm a bit of a pest with this lol

Shagg, hang with us a bit more here.

What has been decided is that the last sentence in 2 should read

Má mhairim, maróidh mé thú. Má fhaighim bás, tá maite duit.

But I just have one question about the last part which was explained by Errigal as follows:

You will be forgiven: as an act - maithfear duit
as a state - beidh maite duit

you are forgiven: as a state - tá maite duit

So can you say "maitear duit" to mean "you are forgiven" as an act?

And isn't the speaking telling the listener, in a sense, "I will forgive you" but phrasing it in the passive.
Isn't that considered an act?

Yes. The problem is prob. the English translation.
Maitear duit. really means "One forgives you" (The forgiving person can't be mentioned)

And there's:
Tá sé á mhaitheamh duit (agam). It is being forgiven (to) you (by me)*. (really a passive and an act. But it is impossible without the thing forgiven, sé and á "it" here)
Táthar ag maitheamh duit. One is forgiving you. (no passive, an act)

and ...
Tá maite duit (agam). You are forgiven (by me). (no act, a state)



Maithfear duit. is an act, but no passive. (One will forgive you)
Beidh maite duit (agam). isn't an act but passive. (You will be forgiven (by me))

But there's also:
Beidh sé á mhaitheamh duit (agam). (It will be being forgiven (to) you (by me)*) is passive and an act.
Beifear ag maitheamh duit. (One will be forgiving you), not a passive, an act.


*) I struggle a bit with the English translation. The Irish version sounds much less awkward.

Although the English says "you are forgiven", I think "you will be forgiven" is intended. The future feels better in Irish. I prefer:

Má mhairim, maróidh mé thú. Má fhaighim bás, beidh maite duit.

Everything else looks okay now.

Await further input ...

I agree reg. beidh.
But "Má mharim mé" is wrong. Just: Má mhairim.

How is this for a final draft? :

1. Sciorradh focail, gearradh scornaí

2. Aon fhear a dhéanann achomharc ar an dlí i gcoinne daoine eile, is amadán nó cladhaire é. Aon fhear nach féidir leis aire a thabhairt dó féin gan an dlí sin, is é an dá rud é. Mar déarfaidh fear gortaithe lena ionsaitheoir, "Má mhairim, maróidh mé thú. Má fhaighim bás, beidh maite duit."

3. Go maire an té atá bodhar, dall agus ina thost céad bliain i síocháin.

Any thoughts on óir vs mar. I usually use óir for "for" and mar for "because".

Await further input ...

Thanks, mate. Clear as mud.

Yes, I thought that "beidh maite duit" would fit better in that context. As far as óir for "for" and mar for "because", I'm not sure. Does "óir" sound more "literary" than "mar"? Besides that, your final draft looks good to me.

Ok, well now I'm thoroughly confused lol

So, should I put "Má mhairim ..." or ... ? for #2?
