Irish Translation Forum

I am looking to get this as a tattoo, ""Faith in Family, Trust in Friends". The word faith is not in a religious sense, but in the sense of " confidence or trust in a person or thing". Thank you in advance for your help.

The problem is that the word for "faith," as you mean it, and the word for "trust" are the same in Irish.

WAIT FOR CONFIRMATIONS

I need the translation to be short, no extra words. It just needs to say "strength in family, trust in friends" I am using it as a tattoo so I don't want it that long. Also when u guys give the translation can u show it like this:

Example: translation here
English words below

That will help me understand exactly what each word stands for. Thank you guys

bump, i am going to be getting this tattoo soon. can anyone else confirm these translations for me please

We can't guarantee it will be the length you want. Irish and English work totally differently.

For something reasonably short, perhaps:

Muinín i mo theaghlach is mo chairde (Faith/trust in my family and my friends)

If you need the word for faith/trust to be repeated (for example, if this is going to be in two different places:

Muinín i mo theaghlach

Muinín i mo chairde

Wait for more input.
