Seachain an fraoch as fear foighdeach. (25% sure)
Beware of the fury out of a patient man.

Wait for a more advanced member to straighten this out, please.

Ádh mór (good luck)

Is seanfhocal é.
It's a proverb.

Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde.

Thanks for your help! One last thing... Could somebody sound out the proper pronunciation for me? I think I'm saying it right, but I want to be sure.

Thanks again.

Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde.
cove-AYD fa[y]rg ah[y]r nah FOY-deh

ah[y]r = lawyer
fa[y]rg = fire guy

That's the closest way I can make it possible to pronounce, wait for somebody else to double-check this.

Ours aren't too far off, except it looks you added some syllables in there that aren't needed...I don't see a need for the ug in fearg, or the guh in foighde...

~Adam.

Those are, to me, slide syllables. You glide over them, it sounds like it's part of the word...I dunno, I shouldnt assume that people know my train of thought.

tá brón orm!

Well, gh makes a slender: /Y/ sound and broad /D/ sound, so the /G/ would be gone, and from OY->deh, there isn't a need for the guh...

~Adam.

You are absolutely correct.

It's late.
