Irish Translation Forum

Hi,
I am getting a tattoo on both forearms and am looking for some translation assistance.

On the left arm I want to get "equality" which I believe to be translated as ionannas

On the right arm I am looking for "prejudice" (or even "racism") but am finding it difficult to translate.

The idea between the two words is on the left something I think the world needs more of, on the right something the world could do without.

Appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Thank you!

Racism: Ciníochas

Prejudice: Claontacht

If you're speaking specifically about racial prejudice, I would go with "ciníochas."

Wait for more.

Birthday is today, going to get my tattoo tomorrow, any othe opinions?

Appreciate it

Certainly it's your decision, but I'd reconsider getting "racism" tattooed on yourself. You say the world could do without it, yet you're going to put on yourself permanantly?

I appreciate the comment but this is something I have given quite a bit of thought too and understand my motives for doing so.

In case I do go another route, I need the translation for "Unity"

I Cannot seem to find anything close. Unity or Peace are the other two
I am debating

Unity: Aontacht

Peace (as in tranquility): Suaimhneas

Peace (as in absence of conflict): Síocháin
