Hi, I think this is how to say it:

Lig dom bheith i do réalt ar feadh oíche amháin

I'd say

Lig dhom a bheith i mo réalta dhuit ar feadh oíche amháin

Lig dhom a bheith i mo réalta dhuit ar feadh oíche amháin

or

Lig dom bheith i mo réalta s'agatsa ar feadh oíche amháin

what's "s'agatsa?"

ah!

you can use it in the place of do

an cat s'agamsa - my cat
an cat s'agatsa - your cat
an cat s'aigesean - his cat
an cat s'aicise - her cat

an cat s'againne - our cat
an cat s'agaibhse - your (pl) cat
an cat s'acusan - their cat

You wouldn't use "is" or "'s," and you wouldn't use that in this structure:

Let me be your star =

Let me be in my star for you -> you need "do." "Ag" wouldn't work here.

no the "s" doesn't mean "is" it means "seo"



trust me u can say it

While I've never seen "seo" contracted like that, I'll take your word for it.

I still say that you need "do" here because she wants to be "his" star, she wants to be a star "for him" -> i mo réalta duit
