Hello
My name is Josh and I was wondering if you could help me with a translation. I am working on a design for a tattoo. Could you tell me how to write "Here there be dragons" in Irish Gaelic? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Joshua Walsh |

Anseo a bhíos dragúin.
(Any other opinions? Barúil eile ag duine ar bith?) |

Seosamh that looks like it means "Here I was, dragons".
What about "Anseo a bhíonn dragúin"? |

Ah. Feicim an débhríocht anois. :-)
bhíos = bhí mé
bhíos = bhíonns = bhíonn
Look at me bears, walking in all the squares!
Look at me dragons, sipping from all the flagons! |

Cha raibh mé ag smaointiú ar na Muimhnigh bhochta, muis, ach ar leagan gonta ar mhaitheas stíle chomh maith le compóird ár nduine seo a bhéas ag dul faoi na snáithide pianmhaire udaí. Beidh air íoc go dian as an dá 'n' breise.
"Anseo a bhíonn dragúin" would be less ambiguous for some people, but I like my version. But good to know two people commented on this. Other people with Irish shouldn't hesitate to speak up when it comes to two situations: tattoos or stained glass. Maybe we could include tombstones and parade banners too. |
