Is it correct to translate "saol fada" as "long life"? But what is the irish translation for the word "life"? It isn't "fada" is it?

Also can anyone help translate the meaning of this phrase to irish: "from the earth," "originating from the earth."

Thanks
Craig

saol is life
fada is long

"from the earth" is trickier, what do you mean by earth?
The planet/world? - ón domhan
The clay? - ón cré
The ground? - ón dtalamh

"Where is your home?"

"Come home boy.

"Home."

tá brón orm - long day
That should be - Where is your house? Cá bhfuil do theach? [kh vill duh houck?]
Where do you live? Cá gcónaíonn tú? / Cá bhfuil cónaí ort [kh gokneein too?] / [kh vill koney urt?]

Apologies,
le meas,
Colm.
