Irish Translation Forum

We should probably add the sign of the cross to the "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" translation, since a fair number of people want to know how to bless themselves, not just how to say the name of the Trinity. "In ainm an Athar, agus an Mhic, agus an Spiorad Naomh" I think, but that could stand some verification.

LOVE AND FAMILY

Love, Terms of Endearment, etc.
I think it is about time I added something of significent value to this site. Maybe it reflects somewhat my mental or situational make-up at the moment but regardless, the topic is LOVE.

One: Types of Love | Two: Ways to say it | Three: Endearments.

NOTE: This piece is only meant to add to the material that already exists and should only be used as a guide. I take no responsibility for errors for the simple reason that I did this out of my own free time. In no way is this piece definitive or exhaustive. It is mainly my own views which I hope will help those in the future with queries and questions on this topic. I am a learner too. Ní bhíonn saoi gan locht. Nobody truly knows all.

Love is one of those complex concepts isn't it. Love is abstract so it is no wonder that there are so many ways to express how you feel about another.

ONE: Types of Love

There are many different nouns:
Here is a rough guide. Nouns in nomitive form.

Grá – This is the generic word for love. From love of person, an abstract concept, your country, between lovers, neighbourly love…

Grá a bheith agat ar, do, dhuine – To love someone.
Bheith i ngrá le duine – To be in love with someone.

Grá na fírinne – Love of truth
Ar ghrá, de ghrá, ruda – For love, for the sake or, something

Fíorghrá - True love
Amhrán grá – Love song
Bheith i bpian an ghrá, á c(h)loí le grá – To be lovesick

Others: Verb Noun of Gráigh; Charity; Beloved Person; (Literature) Aos Grá – Confidents, chosen followers.

Cion – Love as in ‘affection’.

Cion croí an dhéanamh le leanbh – To hug a child to one’s bosom.
Ainm ceana – Pet name.

Other: Regard, Esteem; Effect, Influence

Gean – Affection also. Less widely used than Cion.

Also: Gean gáire – Smile.

Searc – Love (between lovers)

Searc a thabhairt do dhuine – To love someone.
Le searc air – For love of him
Céadsearc - Firtslove

Also: Beloved one.

Páirt – Fellowship, friendship, affection.

Lucht gaoil agus páirte – Relatives and friends.
A leanbh na páirte – My Dear Child.

Also: Part, Portion, Region, Participation, Party to a dispute; Partnership, association, alliance.

Cumann Friendship, love; companionship.

Mo locht cumainn – My Friends, companions.
Cumann a dhéanamh, dul i gcumann, le duine – To associate, make friends, with someone.

Also: Darling, Sweetheart; Company, fellowship, community.

TWO: Ways to say it
Often times people interchange these expressions. Note the differences.

First person singular I

Gráím thú – I love you – Not used often because Irish has been traditionally more of a prepositional language than a verbal one.
Tugaim cion duit – I give you affection
Tá cion agam ort – I have affection for you
Tá mé ceanúil ort – I’m loving/ affectionate towards you
Tá grá agam duit – I have love for you
Táim i ngrá leat – I am in love with you

Is breá liom – I love (a thing/ activity)


However I must say my favourite is:
Tá mo chroí istigh ionat – My heart is within you


THREE: Endearments
(This list is not exhaustive)

NB: Mo (the Irish word for My) has been changed to A in places. This often happens with terms of endearment. It is what is known as the vocative form of the noun. This is used when calling people, be in physically or at the start of a letter. At any rate I would pick the A ones over the MO ones.


Lovers:
A Ghrá mo Chroí (ah hraw muh hree) = My Heart’s Beloved, My Darling
A Ghrá Geal (ah hraw gal) = My Bright Love, Boy(/Girl)friend
A Ghrá (ah hraw); Mo Ghrá (muh hraw) = My Love
A Rún (ah ruin); Mo Rún (muh ruin) (NOTE, exception to lentine rule)
Mo Mhuirnín (muh wer-neen); A Mhuirnín (ah wer-neen) = My Dear
A Stór (ah store) = My Darling (NOTE, exception to lentine rule)
Mo Shearc (muh hark) = My Love
A Thaisce (ah hash-keh) = My Treasure
A Chumann (ah hom-un)= My Darling, Sweetheart.

Other and/ or Lovers:

A Stóirín (ah store-een) – My little darling.
Is í an t-aingeal í (iss e un tangil e) – She’s a little darling.
Peata (pet-ah) – A mother's darling. / A Pheata (ah fet-eh) My...
Seanleannán liom (shan-lan-auwn lum) – An old love of mine.

Meaning of the word Clann

K, so I was in the leabharlann today and I saw some bukes, as you do.

Anyway, here's a verse from the eleventh century (that's 1000s) Lebor Gabala (Book of Invasions).

A Christ os clannaib cuimnig
mac meic Flaind a laechLuignib
a Rí na mblat is na mbreth
is tú in t-abb is tú in toesech

O Christ above all offspring, remember
the grandson of Flann of the warlike Luigni,
O king of might and judgment
thou art the lord, thou art the taoiseach

Another one from a Biblical history Saltair na Rann which was written in late 900s.

Ro gellai Saul iar sain
do Dauíd, cen imressan
a ingen do, deimin scél,
a grád sech clainn nIsrahel.

Saul then promised to David without dispute that he should have his daughter, sure tidings, his beloved above all others of the children of Israel.

So clann definitely referred to children only back in those days.

Note how little the language changed in 1100 years, compared to English.

From the second verse I quoted look at the words:

gellai (geall) promise
cen imressan (gan imreas) without argument
ingen (iníon) daughter
deimin (deimhin) sure, definite
scél (scéal) story, tidings
grád (grádh or grá) love
sech (seachas) excepting
clainn (clann) children

The language has been kept remarkably intact in comparison to the huge changes English went through in the last 1000 years.

"Soulmate"

We get asked about this one so often, I thought it a good idea to copy here the excellent post on this subject made by Tadgh an Mhargaidh a while back (since it's the one we all tend to refer to anyway). Here goes:


Quote:
It seems to be a commom misconception that the Irish word anamchara (literally soulfriend) means soulmate (in the modern English sense of true love, perfect mate, etc.)

Anamchara traditionally means spiritual advisor/'confessor'/'spiritual mentor', etc.. I believe it has its origin in medieval times when (younger) monks sought advice from older more spiritually mature monks.

It was never used to mean soulmate in the modern English sense.

I was thinking about this question yesterday and how one would properly translate the modern English meaning of soulmate into Irish. Ive come to the conclusion that there is no exact equivalent (there rarely is) but that there is a word/concept in Irish which is similar enough in meaning to be used as the Gaelic equivalent of soulmate :

Sonuachar

As in the blessing :

Sonuachar chugat !

which I would translate roughly as

May you find a soulmate !

Sonuachar roughly means a good spouse (sona = happy ; sonuachar = 'someone youre happily married to) and would be an appropriate word to use to translate expressions like

To my soulmate = Do mo shonuachar

Youre my soulmate = Is t mo shonuachar

And so on.

Spread the word !

"My Beloved is Mine" (from The Song of Songs)
This is a quote from the Song of Songs 2:16

Dodi li v'ani lo (Hebrew)

The Irish translation of this line is: "Liomsa mo ghrá agus leis-sean mise"

So, your phrase "My beloved is mine" would be

Is liomsa mo ghrá

f you wanted to use "muirnín" it would be

Is liomsa mo mhuirnín

But the translators of the Bible opted for "grá" so I see no reason not to follow them!

Eventhough "muirnín" IS closer in meaning to "dod" than "grá is.

Soldier's Song (Irish Anthem)

Amhrán na bhFiann

Seo dhibh a cháirde duan Óglaigh,
Cathréimeach briomhar ceolmhar,
Ár dtinte cnámh go buacach táid,
'S an spéir go min réaltogach
Is fonnmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo
'S go tiúnmhar glé roimh thíocht do'n ló
Faoi chiúnas chaomh na hoiche ar seol:
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann.

Curfá:
Sinne Fianna Fáil
Atá faoi gheall ag Éirinn,
buíon dár slua
Thar toinn do ráinig chugainn,
Faoi mhóid bheith saor.
Sean-tír ár sinsir feasta
Ní fhagfar faoin tiorán ná faoin tráil
Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
Le guna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann.

Cois bánta réidhe, ar árdaibh sléibhe,
Ba bhuachach ár sinsir romhainn,
Ag lámhach go tréan faoin sár-bhrat séin
Tá thuas sa ghaoith go seolta
Ba dhúchas riamh d'ár gcine cháidh
Gan iompáil siar ó imirt áir,
'S ag siúl mar iad i gcoinne namhad
Seo libh, canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann.

A bhuíon nách fann d'fhuil Ghaeil is Gall,
Sin breacadh lae na saoirse,
Ta scéimhle 's scanradh i gcroíthe namhad,
Roimh ranna laochra ár dtire.
Ár dtinte is tréith gan spréach anois,
Sin luisne ghlé san spéir anoir,
'S an bíobha i raon na bpiléar agaibh:
Seo libh, canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann.

Boondock Saints quotes:

"While the wicked stand confounded,call me with thy saints surrounded"
Agus na damnaithe fágtha gan focal
Glaoigh ormsa i measc na naomh

Aequitas - Veritas (is Latin)
Cóir - Fírinne
Justice - Truth

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti (is Latin)
In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
In ainm an Athar, agus a Mhic, agus an Spioraid Naomh

"Never shall innocent blood be shed. Yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river. The three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeful striking hammer of god"
Ní dhoirtfear fuil neamhchiontach choíche. Ach sruthóidh fuil na n-olc mar abhainn. Leathfaidh an triúr a n-eiteoga dubhaithe agus beidh siad ina chasúr buailte Dé.

"And shepherds we shall be,
for thee my lord for thee.
Power hath decended forth from thy hand
so our feet may swiftly carry out thy command.
And we shall flow a river forth to thee
and teeming with souls shall it ever be."
Agus beimid inár n-aoirí
ar do shonsa, a Thiarna, ar do shonsa,
tá cumhacht tagtha anuas ó do lámh
ionas go gcomhlíonadh ár gcosa do thoil go tapaidh.
Sruthóimid ar aghaidh mar abhainn chugat
Agus plódaithe le hanamacha a bheidh sí go deo.

When I raise my flashing sword, and my hand takes hold in judgement, I will take vengance upon my enemies and I shall repay those who have hazed me. Oh Lord, raise me to thy right hand and count me among thy saints.
Nuair a bheirim thuas mo chlaíomh lonrach agus nuair a ghearann mo lámh an breithiúnas gheobhaidh mé díoltas ar mo naimhde agus aisíocfaidh mé astu a chránn mé. A Thiarna, ardaigh mé go dti do lámh dheisagus cuir mé in áireamh na Naomh.

Fish Names
this glossary for Fish names is made by the Irish government. I came across it when researching cockles/clams. It might be useful for the other users. It is 9 pages of a huge range of sea and fresh water fish in Latin, English common name and Irish.

And from pages 13-21 they have a GLOSSARY of every fish under the sun (or should I say sea?) in latin, English common name and Irish
It is here:
