Irish Translation Forum

Hi all,

My partner and I write romantic thrillers and one of our main characters is Irish.
For the past year, I have asked for translations here to incorporate into the story. Some of my requests have already been translated and confirmed in the past but I have a few I have NO clue if it's correct or not. If possible, could you give me the proper translation for the following:

A/Mo ghrá - My love

A/Mo cheann amháin agus - my one and only

Tá grá agam duit (more widely used) or Is breá liom tú - I love you

Is breá liom tú an méid sin - I love you so much

Beidh mé grá i gcónaí leat agus tú ach - I will always love you and only you

Tá fáilte romhat - You are welcome

Le gach mo ghrá - With all my love.

Beidh mé grá i gcónaí leat agus ní raibh ach tú go deo - I will always love you and only you forever

A/Mo bhean, a/mo shaol - My wife, my life.

Amadán grá-bhreoite - Love-sick fool

Spéiriúil - Strikingly beautiful

Go deo - Forever

An chuid is fearr díom - The best part of me

We just want to make sure we are true to the usage and dialogs. I would also like to know if someone here would be interested in talking to us about Gaeilge and if possible someone who is located in the Sligo area for some fact checking.
I have been to Ireland and specifically to Sligo a long time ago. Times change, places change. I would like to ensure the descriptions and dialogs are true to the place and time.

Thank you in advance,

T.
