"The wheel of sun" - is it correct "roth na greine"?
and
"bring back a crown" - "tabhair ar ais an choroin"?
and
the phrase "se do bheatha" - can be this used severally as a greeting?
thanks advance |

Yes, almost Yes and Yes. Missing accents gréine | tabhair ar ais coróin | bring back a crown (indefinite) | | tar ar ais an choróin | bring back the crown (definite) |

thank you Aonghus
one more question - how do you pronounce "tar ar ais an choróin"? |

Oops.
I see I made a mistake, it should be
tabhair ar ais an choróin
For various reasons, but mostly because I am too close to the language to be able to analyse the pronunciation, I don't give advice on pronunciation.
I hope someone else will. |

Is é do bheatha = Welcome, you are welcome. Not really a greeting in the sense that I don’t think you can say it to say "hello".
