Hi Jp,
yep it is peace. Usually "Is" indicates a permanent state-but you may use it for states that can change slowly, or after a time, or for states that have been attained. síocháin (shee-uckh-awn) = peace Irish Gaelic for Speakers, Learners & Beginners! on Paltalk - Hear pronunciations, ask for translations, learn conversational Gaelic, hear some great Celtic music and enjoy the craic! PM me for more details

I just got back from a trip and I met a young Irish lad who was working at the hotel. He stated he was from the Dublin area. I thought I practice my Gaelic (all of one word) and told him "Siochain". I told him that it meant peace and ask him if he agreed. He stated no, that it meant "how's it going". I then wrote it on a piece of paper and he still said that it meant "how's it going". Who is right?

I see in this thread that Fionn is back amongst us.
Welcome back! We've missed you. Tá mé ag foghlaim i gcónaí. With translations, it is best to wait for someone more adept than I to confirm.
