Go raibh maith agat a Aibi.

I've had problems with my 'Alt gr' key all day. :(

Ní raibh an fhadhb sin agamsa riamh. (Níl aon eochair "AltGr" ar m'eochairchlár!)
(fadhbanna = problems)
(eochracha = keys)
(eochairchláir = keyboards)

Because the verb () is in the present tense, your comparative has to be the present form as well. Other than that (and a missing fada on inné) it's fine...

Táim níos fuaire ná thú anois.

Táim níos cairdúla ná thú.

Táim nios níos fearr as thú (I am better than you?)
