Irish Translation Forum

Hey guys, i'm new here, and am looking to make myself a gaelic T-shirt. More specifically, a T-shirt that says "I want a Scottish Girlfriend" in Gaelic. Cheesy, i know, but my friend has a similar one in japanese, and i thought it was quite amusing. any help with the translation would be excellent! thanks guys!

if you want it is scottish gaelic, then you will have to wait for one of our scottish people. this post is for irish gaelic.

"if you want it is scottish gaelic, then you will have to wait for one of our scottish people. this post is for irish gaelic."

-Irish can work too, then i'd prefer "I want an Irish Girlfriend"

Boy! Not fussy, eh?

There was just a newsflash on the TV - dejected prospective Scottish girlfriends wailing in the streets all over Scotland! Poor dabs!

Here are some options

Teastaíonn ____ uaim -- I want/I require

Ba mhaith liom ____ -- I want/would like

Tá uaim ____ -- I want

In place of the ____ you can insert these:

cailín Éireannach -- an Irish girl(friend)

cailín Albanach -- a Scottish girl(friend)

cailín Gaelach -- a Gaelic (can be either Irish or Scottish) girl(friend)

Hmmm this gives me an evil idea for the Celt Fest coming up
