Irish Translation Forum

Some time ago I was asking for some translations for a game; and for the word "happy" I was given "snasach".
Now people are saying that snasach means polished, refined.
Is there any way that the word snasach could also be used to denote a feeling - maybe similar to a happy feeling?

I think an o has been dropped somewhere along the line, i.e., the word sonasach means "happy, lucky, fortunate".

I don't think 'snasach' is used in Irish. Maybe it's Scottish Gaelic.

Snasta means polished, glossy. It doesn't mean 'happy'

Edit: Just seen Brendán's post. I think he got it.

I looked up snasach in Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarll (Ó Dónaill), I did not find any reference to this word being used in any form of happy.

Opps, I guess I came a bit late to the party.

I appreciate the help.

Thanks for your answer Brendán

Just to close the loop, "snasach" doesn't work in Scottish Gaelic either. It would be sona or in older writings sonasach, both of which also work in Irish of course. According to the FGB dictionary, there are also the variants sonamhar and sonasta, though I think they are much less common, or possibly dialectical.
