A Chairde,
I am looking at the use of the word “cónaí”. Do I have this right?
Tá tú i do chónaí i Nua Eabhrac. = You live in NY.
Vs.
Go dtuga Dia fairsinge do croí i gcónaí duit. = May God give you a generous heart in your future.
Thanks again! |

i gcónaí = always, rather than in future
Otherwise, you have it
From An Foclóir Beag
i gcónaí (de shíor, gan stad; fós (tá sé anseo i gcónaí)). |

Aongus,
Go raibh maith agat! I'm a little confused by the "duit." Perhaps I should translate it like this:
"May God always keep your heart generous for you." |
