I bought my daughter a bracelet that says " Is D 'Erinn Me". On the inside it says "I Am Of Ireland" For my Family Tree Book I would like to write in Irish Gaelic "WE ARE OF IRELAND". Can someone translate that to Irish Gaelic. Thanks

Is D'Erinn Muid.

Wait to get confirmation but I'm fairly certain that this is correct.

Le meas,

James

is D'Eireann Muid

Tá tusa ceart,


le grá
Eíbhlin ;o)

As far as I know.....

Éireann is genitive case.

Éirinn is dative case, so it should be

Is d'Éirinn muid.

Dia duit

you correcting me again ha ha

again the way it was taught,
where you from, and what Irish did you learn
West?
North?

Dia dhaoibh, a chairde,
I had to look at my copy of Ó Siadhail more than once to catch on to this one. According to him, a secondary meaning of 'DE', when used "partitatively" is as - of, a part of. Mar sampla: piosa de lá
The partitave usage leads one towards the genetive tense, by definition - but, DE is still just a preposition and the noun which it acts on is still treated in this manner.
Therefor, if I'm correct, according to Ó Siadhail (Cois Fhairrge - Gaillimh);
Is D'Éirinn muid. We are of Ireland.
Slán,
Maidhc.

Thanks for the help. I am going to an Irish family reunion in two weeks so can now enter this into my book.
