Hm rith sé seo liom don chéad uair. Nuair atá tú ag iarraidh 'for your' a sríobh.. mar shampla 'fuair mé an nasc for your site'... well how would you write this? Scríobh mé féin 'fuair mé an nasc don suíomh leat' mar bhealach timpeall.

Is this use of 'leat' like you would use in say context of a friend, uncle, etc. of yours okay even in this context, and is there a way to write 'do do' (for your)? I can see how 'do d'fhoclóir' works there... but with 'do do __ ' (+ consonant starting noun unlike foclóir) the do do really looks wrong)

Thanks for any pointers here!

Maybe the "do do" *looks* wrong but it *is* correct!
In Munster though they'd say "dod" and in Connemara, probably something like "dho do" or "go do".

"Fuair mé an nasc do do shuíomh."

D'aimsigh mé an nasc seo leis an suíomh [sin atá] agat.
D'aimsigh mé an nasc seo chuig an suíomh [úd atá] agat.
D'aimsigh mé nasc chuig an suíomh [úd atá] agat.

Does "for your site" means that the link leads to the website?
Then you'd use "chuig", however I guess the question was about the "strangeness" of "do do".

Yep Lughaidh, I meant 'I found a link for (to) your site' so the chuig looks like what I actually needed.

But I was wondering about the 'do do' anyway and I really appreciate the info.
