Could someone translate the above sentences into English for me..and could you ALSO give me a word-for-word translation as well, for example: rugadh = __; i = __; mé = __; ETC.

Thank you!

John Doe is(is) ainm(name) dom(to/for me)= my name is John Doe

Rugadh (was Born)i Alaska mé (in Alaska me)= I was born in Alaska..
In Alaska a rugadh mé - is better Irish hopefully..

agus(and) tá(there is) cónai(dwelling) orm(on me) ann(there) go fóill(still/yet)
= and I still live there

Hope that helps
