Do you want to put it in a phrase?
Ádh is the word for luck
But if you would tell us the way you wanted it said- I bet we could help

Enigmaschild,
in an Irish dictionary, you will see lucky translated as ádhúil
However, I have recently seen Ailill (one of the best translators here)saying that it is not used in everyday speech.
If you could give a context , or the phrase you want to convey, someone will translate that for you I'm sure.
Anyway, good luck (to you) = Ádh mór ort

No 'sorry' needed

Agreed, Pól. That's why this site is so good for learning! It's great to get input from those more adept than the rest of us, it's certainly improved my (poor) Irish.

My ability to write in and think in Irish has improved 100% in the last 6 months.
Just by using it

Don't let it go to waste
