I am doing a certain project, and for this project I need these various words in Irish. I have a couple, but these are what I don't have. For my project I need the plural form as well as the singular form, and if that isn't too much for someone, perhaps they could help me out. Oh, one more thing: if whoever helps me out could note the pronunciation for each word, that would be great. I need to know how to say them, as well!

wind
rain
water
fire
earth
rainbow
stars
bird
moon
horse
sun
dragon
cloak
sword
dagger

I sure hope that is not too much to ask. I would really appreciate the help!

wind - Gaoth, gaoithe
rain - báisteach, báistí
water - uisce, uiscí
fire - tine, tinte
earth - cré (the stuff you can sift through your fingers), domhan, domhain (the world)
rainbow - bogha báistí, boghaí báistí
stars - réalta, réaltaí
bird - éan, éin
moon - gealach, gealaí
horse - capall, capaill
sun - grian, grianta
dragon - dragan, dragain
cloak - clóca, clócaí
sword - claíomh, claidhte
dagger - miodóg, miodóga

You project sound like real 'cloak & dagger' stuff!

Thought Id add onto this topic instead of starting another one.

Could anyone please help with a translation of: Even the darkest hearts bleed.
Its for the title of a story a friend is writing.
All help greatly appreciated

Too long for a title but there is a phrase in the language which touches on your subject:

Ní minice deoir i bhfios ná i ngan fhios i ngleann goirt seo na ndeor.

= The unknown tear is not less frequently shed than the known tear in this briny vale of tears.

You may like the start of it:

Ní minice deoir

(= A tear is not more frequent)


Maith an fear 'Antóin thuas.

Cuireann na croíthe is doirche fola, fiú amhain.

This is probably the literal translation.

A hAntoin- also fallaing - fallaingeacha - cloak,cloaks.

Doirtfeadh fuil astu, fiú amháin na croíthe dubh go fearr.
This was really just a quick guess.
( Literally, "They would spill blood out of them, even the blackest of hearts.")

-Maidhc.

Thanks so much for your help! Now it would be nice if I could figure out how to pronounce the darn words... ;) The spelling is so hilarious!

How do you get those yellow smilie faces? I think they're cool.

Can someone help me and translate
"The Captain's Flask"
for me?

A Fhraoch, A Chara:

This is my best shot at the pronunciation. If I'm off we'll both be set straight in due course.

Doirtfeadh fuil astu, fiú amháin na croíthe dubh go fearr

Deert-feh fil astoo, fyoo ahw-en nah cree duv go fahr

A Bhreandan:

Don't give up hope. I noticed you posted on two threads. I'll see what I can come up with but I'm still learning myself. Check back in a day or so.

Le meas,

James

A Shéamais,
LOL! I'm sorry you misunderstood me! I meant the pronunciation for the list of words that Antóin was so kind to give me. Thanks anyway for your effort!
