"Oiche mhaith anois mo stor"

Recently, a pretty girl I know wrote this to me, and I don't know what to make of it. But I believe it likely that this might be one of the beautiful Irish tongues. Does anyone know what it might mean, or in what language it may be written?

Thank you very much. :)

I believe it is something like, 'Good night now, my darling.' It's definitely Irish.

But I'm pretty new to Gaeilge, so I might be wrong. Am I close here?

I would say that phrase is a good sign, my friend ;0)

Le meas,
Séamas

Laurent, the phrase means "good night my love". It's irish.

I need a traslation as well. The handwriting is messy, and it's in the Limerick dialect.:
Do Laura,
Ná déan dearúid (or dear úid, or dear ú id), Le gach deá ghuí,
Con

*smiles, and goes a bit warm and glow-like*

Wow. Is "stor" a love in a friend-like way... or is this a word that might imply something a bit deeper than that...?

I'm sure you can follow what I mean. :)

"Oiche mhaith anois mo stor"

It depends on the context. If it's a pretty girl saying it to you then you're probably "in like Flynn". We can't answer your question for you, you'll have to find out from the cailín (girl) yourself. Do something gallant like take her to McDonalds or something.

Ádh mór,

Oliver.
