Also, ways in which you can tell someone whom you are IM'ing, goodbye in Irish?

If you can you would be a great help.

Thanks!

Tá leamhthuirse orm. I'm bored.

Slán. Bye.

Tá leadrán orm.

Slán leat

Having thought about it just now, I've realized that it is unusual in Irish to say that you are bored without also saying what you are bored of, with or by.

People say things like:

tá mé tuirseach de ... = I am tired of ...

tá mé tinn tuirseach de ... = I am sick and tired of ...

tá mé bréan de ... = I have had enough of ...

So I would strongly recommend that each time you are about to say that you are bored, consider also mentioning what you are bored of, and use one of the above.

This is probably one of those things that make you realize that to speak a different language, you need to think differently, too.

(But whatever you do, don't be tempted to say "tá mé bréan". If you drop the preposition like this, it ends up meaning "I smell bad"!)

I am fed up with something = tá mé dubh dóite de rud éigin

Thank you all.

Now I am wondering if someone says hello while IM'ing, in english. How should you reply? "Dia duit", since you are the first to begin the convesaion in Irish, or "Dia is Muire duit", as you had already been told hello?
