Dia daoibh,

I was hoping that someone might be able to help me with a small translation.

i mo chroí go deo.

Would this translate correctly into "In my heart forever."? or would there be a better way to say it.. The context of use would be in a tattoo I am designing to remember my Gran with, with her name in a banner with a small image and that line below. Would the phrase work as it is or would it read odd without a "You are.." or something similar added?

Go raibh maith agat,
SS

Yer an eejit, shut up.

I'm asking a question about a phrase, I added the tattoo fact to provide the context.

Go flame an MMO forum, goof.

"I mo chroí go deo" is fine.

You could save yourself a little pain by abbreviating it to "go deo i'm chroí"

Go raibh maith agat as bhur gcunamh a hAonghus!
(hope I got that right=)

Tá bron orm... for getting all upset at the first reply from Honu, I'm at work and my mood wasn't so great when I read it.

I've just picked up the books again, to study Gaeilge. I stopped a few years ago as there was noone in my vicinity to speak with, but if all goes as planned I'll be moving to Ireland in a few months, and will hopefully have more opportunity to work towards my goal of fluency.

le meas,
S

Apart from granting me the royal plural, it is!

May I add...

Go raibh maith agat as do chúnamh a Aonghuis.

No "h" and final consonant made slender!

Le meas,
