Mo Cairde,

I seek your assistance in translating a group name into Irish; "The New World Celts". http://www.newworldcelts.org/

Is the following proper? "Na Ceiltigh Domhan Nua"

The group uses "Ur Domhan Ceiltich", but I'm uncertain if this is of Irish or Scottish origin.

Is mise le meas,

Ceiltigh an Domhain Nua

What the gourp is using appears not to take Irish (and Scottish Gaelic) word orer into account.

Úr is an alternative to Nua.

Ceiltigh an Domhain Úr

Ceiltigh an Domhain Úr

A Aonghuis, ná caolófá an aidiacht sa chás san?

N'fheadar.

Is dócha go bhfuil an ceart agat a DBnadT. Bhí súil agam go dtiocfadh duine den aos ghramadaí an treo agus breith a thabhairt. Níl "úr" i'm fholcóir gníomhach agus níl fasach le fáil ar líne.

Caolaítear í (de réir na samplaí in Irish-English Dictionary, Talbot Press 1984):

nom. an capall bán
gen. an chapaill bháin, etc.

Ceiltigh an Domhain Úir, sílim.

I would prefer if you didn't use Irish on that site - it gives the impression you know what you are talking about.

Evidently ye don't - that site has no proper historical info at all.

A kilt - really? So annoyed about this tripe.

Thank you for your posts gentlemen. As always, you've been very helpful.

Howard,

I would put the word order right on the main page, as well as the fada and slender glide on the U in "Ceiltigh an Domhan Úir".

Also, is this Scottish Gaelic, older Irish, or dialectal?
"Cuimhnichibh air na daoine bho'n d'thainig sibh"
"Remember the people whom you come from....."

This doesn't look right to me, but maybe that's just me. I'm not saying my version is any better, here it goes anyway:

"Cuimhnígí ar na daoine óna tagann sibh"

This is also likely to be somewhat clumsy. There is, I'm sure, a better way of saying it. Anyway, some analysis:

"cuimhnígí (ar)" - "remeber" imperative, second person plural.
"[na] daoine" - "[the] persons". There are perhaps better fitting words for race, tribe, or nation.
"óna" - "from whom/which"
"tagann sibh" - "you come" plural you, present mood. This has a feeling of coming in an ambulatory manner, but maybe it's right. There may be better words for descending or stemming from such a tribe in question.

But because I'm also just a beginner, I'm not saying I'm right here either.

A Fhinn, ba dhóigh go bhfuil an bunleagan ceart, mar go bhfuil sé i nGaelainn na hAlban. (Féach ar: http://www.irishgaelictranslator.com/translation/topic93464.html.)

Ceapaim gur "ónar tháinig sibh" an leagan is cóir duit. Tá aimsir chaite sa bhunleagan agus choinneoinn i leagan Ghaelainn na hÉireann í. (I nGaelainn na Mumhan déarfainn "Cuimhnídh ar na daoine ónar thángabhair!")

GRMA, a Dhomhnaillín.

I ndiadh fóill beag rinne mé athchomhairle faoi agus chríochnaigh mise freisin go bhfuil sé i nGaelainn na hAlban. Níl mé ag ceistiú a chuibheas.

"Rinne tú amach" seachas "críochnaigh tú", a CF.

(Críochnaigh = to bring to an end [conclude]
Déanamh amach = to come to a conclusion [conclude])

Trua nach bhfuil foclóir maith Soumen-Gaeilge ann chun dris cosáin mar sin a sheachaint!

GRMA

Ba mhaith liom foclóir suomi-iiri, le samplaí agus réimniú. Cén fáth nach scríobhfaidh Panu a leithéid de leabhar?

Ach anois, tá orm dul faoin gcithfholcadh agus imeacht chun an chathair "Taibheastchaiseal". Tá dhá cara liom ina gcónaí ann agus ceiliúrfaidh mé an Bhliain Úr leo.

Bliain Úr mhaith daoibh!

Taibheastchaiseal?

Taibheastchaiseal?

Hämeenlinna ?

Is dócha é. Maith thú.

http://ga.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A4meenlinna

New World is in Irish traditionally "an tOileán Úr", genitive "an Oileáin Úir". The Celts of the New World is "Ceiltigh an Oileáin Úir".

A Panu,

An bhfuil a fhios agat ar foclóir suomi-iiri-suomi? Nó an bhfuil orm féin é a scríobh?
