"Ta se tri thine" My cousin was saying that this is "It is on fire" How would you get rid of "it is..... Tri Thine? I know there are supposed to be fadahs here too. LOL :D

Its used in Donegal I think but just because it has the same construction as English doesnt mean its more accurate. Ar thine may just a copy on English that has crept into Irish. Trí thine is what Ive always used.

What do you mean by "On fire" in English is it literal or is it a cliche?

Im using like if someone said "I'm on fire" if they were pumped up. winning, etc as apposed to actually being lit up in flames! LOL

Then Ar barra lasrach would be better then in my opinion. Its used to mean that kind of thing such as the music is lit or the party is raging. The Conamara dialect is the main one used in Meath.
