I wonder if someone would be kind enough to translate the phrase "My father's house" or "my father's home" into Gaelic for me. I am having a sign carved for my father's home and would love to have it done in Gaelic. Thanks Jim McBride |

teach m'athar But, hey, that's weird. From the perspective of the guy who lives in the house, it's not "teach m'athar", unless of course it belongs to your grandfather! |

Dennis, Thank you for the translation and the sharp eye to my question. When I composed the message, I thought it did sound a bit off, but I knew what I meant. In fact, my father is dead so the sign on the home is a tribute to him. And, more important, your translation would seem to be correct. Thanks again All the best, McBride |
