Dia duit,

i was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out with something,

i need the translation for Terra. this is actually a name but of course it is also a word. It would be in the context of a name as in Terra Joy (joy is "áthas" correct?) Go raibh míle maith agat.

Slán

Dia duit a Bhríd le smál,

Terra in Latin = (ae) f. [earth , land, ground, soil; a country, land, region]; 'orbis terrarum', [the whole world].

So, the word in Irish for that is Talamh. It's got exactly the same meaning and usage.

Pronounced "THOL-uv"

Joy is Áthas (pron AW-huss), you could also use a favourite word of mine:

Gliondar (GLIND-thur) which is a kind of wide-eyed joy.




There's also "lúcháir" (LOO-HAWIR), "ríméad" (REE-MAYDTH) and "gairdeas" (GAR-JUS) in the dictionary for Joy.

hope this helps,

Slán,

Ailill.
