“I was wondering if ,yone could tell me what “bail o dia annso” meant. Its inscribed on a friends front door and no one has a clue to its meaning.”

Hi Brenton. There are slightly different spellings and words for the different Irish speaking regions of Ireland. Living in the Ulster area, I can tell you that its literal translation is ‘here is a town of God’, but we would spell it ‘Baile o Dia anseo’. However that doesn’t really sound right, so perhaps the bail is incorrectly spelt (I’ve never heard of the word ‘bail’ myself). ‘Teach (pronounced cha) o Dia anseo’ would mean ‘here is a house of God’

Hope this helps!

Caómhin.

“MBOIS” Why is this word spelled differently everytime i see a translation of this blessing? Is it more modern this way? I’ve seen it mostly as “mbosa”. I appreciate any clarification.

Thanks kindly.

Can someone please tell me how to say “My Mother” in Irish. I want to write a poem for my very Celtic Mother’s 70th birthday.

Thanks,
