Well aggy,

What sense do you mean it in? Like "there's no fate (in life)?" Or maybe like meaning "Fate doesn't exist/ There's no such thing as fate"?
This sounds like a contextual (is that a word?! ) meaning/need...

Le meas,

i think

Gan Chinniúint

NO FATE as in there is not fate in life you make your own choices that determine you life, no such thing as "destiny" And thank you so much for helping out. Also if you guys no how to pronounce it can you spell it phonetically. Im tring to learn but ive never been good at speaking laungages

Thanks again
Alex

i locked your other post

Aggy, you are going to have to be patient. This is not a simple concept, for all it can be expressed in two words in English. Irish doesn't work the same way as English, and it's going to take some work to come up with the concept you want to express in a way that will work in this language. We're volunteers, it's a weekend, and a lot of people are away. Give folks some time. It's better to reschedule the tattoo appointment than to rush a translation request and risk getting something other than what you bargained for.

Couldn't have said it better maself

Im sorry i didnt mean to offend anyone. I assume Conor is right because thats waht i have found in books. I know Chinniúint means Fate but i didnt know how No fit with it because there are so man different grammar forms of No. Once again sorry if i offended anyone, i am still a newbie lol.
thank you

No one was offended...we just wanted to let you know that we're not ignoring you. It's just a matter of people not being around right now...Oisin's going to be off-line until tonight for certain because it's the Sabbath, and other folks may be doing whatever it is they do on a weekend. For example, if it weren't that my daughter's going off to camp tomorrow and there's a lot to get done, I'd probably be off at the Boardwalk riding the roller coaster (that's where I like to spend my weekends ) :
