For the Bed and Breakfast...

Is breá linn an ceann tuí. Bain an sop féir óm ghruaig, le do thoil.
Tá do pháistí gleoite, a bhean uasal. Ar mhiste leat iad a ruaigeadh amach as ár seomra.

An osclóidh mé faigh pas mo anois?!!

Evie (who hopes any of you can stop laughing long enough to make the necessary corrections, grma)!!!

A D(h?)ennis -
Is ea! I was trying to ask "Shall I go get my passport now?"
"Wicked Irish", muise!! It made me laugh, it was (relatively) cheap, I had to have it!!

So. How should I have written the question? (And I will go work on some troglodyte form of the last 3 comments about that book).

woof. "Me Evie. Me like Irish. Me talk it good."

"Shall I go get my passport now?"

an bhfuil orm imeacht mo phas a cheannach anois?

It seems a little reflexive to me, but it's a pot shot

Ahh, GRMA, gentlemen! I think my personal preference, a Dhennis, is the "is mithid dom pas a fháil"!!
