Hello,
My name is Patrick, i'm giving a Claddagh ring to my Girlfriend before i deploy next year and i wanted it to read "Always with you" in Irish Gaelic, if any one can lend a close translation to this i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance. -Patrick |

My first inclination is to say: In éineacht leat go deo: With you (as in "along with you") forever. If you actually mean "all the time," though, the translation will be different.

Redwolf's looks good to me. If you mean "all the time", how about
beidh mé i gcónaí leat ~ I will always be with you I am just a learner, be sure to get input from others |

My only concern with this is that "leat" by itself like this can mean "yours." That may fit in beautifully with what's wanted, but I figured I should bring it up.

No. "Beidh mé leat" means only "I'll be with you" . The copula is necessary to denote ownership afaik. Both suggestions look fine to me. Warning: Reasonable command of Irish - but I still make basic errors. |

i think the copula is necessary for ownership too, and I was taught to use leatsa in favour of leat when saying something belonged to someone. Just my €0.02 |

I'd shorten it and take license...leat go deo
Ba mhaith liom lámh chúnta a thabhairt d'éinne atá ag foghlaim agus ba mhaith liom déanamh amhlaidh mé fhéin. |
