Hello,
I just wanted to see if I had the correct translation for a phrase.
Could someone please translate the following phrase into Irish Gaelic?
"My pluse is forever"
Thank you!! |

"Pulse", I assume? If so, "is bithbhuan mo chuisle" would be one way (or "mo chuislese" if you mean to indicate a contrast between your pulse and others'.)
Tá fáilte roimh chuile cheartú!

Is féidir go bhfuil sé ag smaoineamh ar "a chuisle mo chroí", a bhfuil beatha dá chuid féin aige i mBéarla mar achusla. Féach: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/acushla

Halo.
Is mise Eochaill.
Could the phrase you're discussing be the one used for the name "McCushla" which the Clint Eastwood character,"Frankie" gives to the Hillary Swank boxer character,"Maggie", in the movie "Million Dollar Baby".

Related, but not identical. The usual spelling in English is macushla because this derives from mo chuisle "my pulse/vein", not *mac cuisle, which would be "son of a pulse/vein". "Macushla", like "machree" [mo chroí] or "mavourneen" [mo mhuirnín], is a term of endearment still occasionally heard from older Irish-Americans. |

I've heard "Mother Machree!" all my life but "mavourneen" rarely and "macushla" never - until that movie.
Go raibh maith agaibh.
