I have an idea how to say it but when I am in the Gaeltacht this year I don't want to say it incorrectly to the locals I'd prefer to say it correctly, you see..
What is the best way to put in Irish:
1 - How can I get the boat to (place name here)
2 - How much is it to travel on the boat
3 - How long does it take?
Thank you very much

Maybe:
1. cá háit a dtiocfadh liom bád a fháil le ghabháil go...
2. cá mhéad atá ar thuras ar a' bhád?
3. cá fhad go mbeifear thall ?

Fan soicind, which Gaeltacht are you going to? Best to learn the way the locals would use themselves i'd say!
1. Cén chaoi gur féidir liom an bád a thógáil go X
(ii) Cén chaoi go dtiocfaidh mé ar an mbád go X
2. Cé mhéid atá ar an turas báid?
3. Cé chomh fhada is a bheidh an turas?
ii "" mhairfidh " "

Go raibh míle maith agat lads, I'll be staying in Gleann Cholm Cille and then off to the Fíor Gaeltacht in Gweedore areas and the Tory Island, I like Lughaidh's translaiton because I speak Donegal Irish, thanks for the Conamara Irish too!

2. Cé mhéid atá ar an turas báid?""
An bhfuil sé cinnte "cé" agus níl "cá" i gConamara?

I gConamara baineann siad úsáid as "cé" in áit "cá" i dtólamh, le "where" a ráidht féin: cé bhfuil tú ? = where are you? ... Níl mé cinnte féin go bhfuil an focal "cá" acu sin!

Tá, ach níl sé ró-choiteanta (ó dhúchas) ach amháin sa leagan "cá bhfuil", rud a fhuaimnítear mar "cáil".
Chloisinn "cé" le chuile bhriathar eile nach mór, m.sh. "cé raibh tú?", "cé ndeachaigh tú?"
Tá fáilte roimh chuile cheartú!
