I'm trying to verify if I have the right translation for 'to fall in love with' and the number 14

I have 'titim i ngrá le' for to fall in love with

and

ceathair déag for fourteen.

Depends on your sentence... What sentence do you want to translate?
Ceathair déag is fourteen when counting, but if you say "fourteen people" then it would be "ceithre dhuine dhéag", for example...

I just want the number fourteen, but to represent fourteen people, the amount that died as a result of Bloody Sunday. Thank you though for that tip though!!

Do I have the correct translation for to fall in love with?

Again, thank you so much for any help!

Usually it is spelled: Maraíodh ceithre dhuine dhéag ar Domhnach na Fola = Fourteen people were killed on Bloody Sunday.
