For those who do not know this show, it is a popular game show here in the United States.
When there is a person who speaks a different language, they also ask them to say "Deal or No Deal" in that language.
This is a problem in Irish, so I was wondering if there was a way to say this?
At first I thought of posssible alternatives, like using a verb in the imperative.
But as for which verb would be the most appropriate?
They often say "take" on the show so I thought maybe something like:
Tóg, ná tóg?
but then when you think about it, what they are really asking is do you want to "accept" the deal.
So maybe
Glac, ná Glac?
Also I was thinking does one have to include the deal part?
Tóg an margadh ná tóg an margadh....
Yes I know I probably messed these up, that's why I am asking :0) |

I thought about something like that, but I am not certain it is exactly the same meaning.
margadh is a deal...but when they say "deal or no deal" I am not certain they are talking about the actual deal itself, or the act of taking the deal. That's why I was thinking the translation would require some type of action involved.
Do you know what I mean? |

Bheadh "margadh" gaelach ach d'úsáidfinn "Glac nó ná Glac" mar gheall ar éifeacht fuaime..
A people without a language of its own is only half a nation.A nation should guard its language more than its territories, 'tis a surer barrier and a more important frontier than mountain or river

Bheadh ort ar a laghad "Glac leis nó ná glac" a rá le bheith nádúrtha.
Is mó brí ag glac!
glac [ainmfhocal baininscneach den dara díochlaonadh]
lámh (lán mo ghlaice); lán láimhe nó doirn, beagán (de rud) (glac leabhar, scéalta); gabhal (glac crainn); gabhdán (glac saighead).
glacadh [ainm briathartha][ainmfhocal firinscneach]
tógáil nó fáil (ghlac sé mo thoise; bronntanas a ghlacadh; glacadh isteach sa rang iad); a thógáil ort féin (freagracht a ghlacadh; laethanta saoire a ghlacadh); tógáil, aireachtáil (fearg, misneach, a ghlacadh); faomhadh (glacaim le d'fhocal); cur suas le (ní ghlacfainn leis sin uaidh); a theacht ar, gabháil (ghlac dúil sa bhia é). |
