How do I translate this?
Can I say "Ní ceart dom?" |

I would use one of these:
Níor cheart dom gáire a dhéanamh.
Níor chóir dom gáire a dhéanamh.
I ndiaidh a chéile a thógtar na caisleáin.

Thanks! I should have realised that Ba cheart would change to níor cheart. Cheers seanw. |

Chan dóigh liom go bhfuil duifear sa chéill eadar ceart agus cóir ansin.
Déarfainn féin "Char chóir domh gáire a dhéanamh" -- Gaeilg Uladh.

The closest I hear in Irish is not a direct translation but similar: Éasca gáire [a dhéanamh faoi] ach tá an fear bocht ar a dhícheall.
Éasca being short for "B'éasca" (It would be easy) or "Is éasca" (It is easy) An chopail is understood. |

Bhoil, chuir tú ag smaoineamh mé a Thaidhgín. Tá ciall leis sin.
I suppose that something like "hahaha, May God forgive you" would be a more natural response also. |

That would be "Á, muise, go maithe Dia dhuit é." using the modh foshuiteach or the "wish form" of the verb: "may you ..." or "that you may ..."
There's a phrase in my mind which means "May God not exact retribution on us for it."
"Nár agraí Dia orainn é."
[Interesting verb "agair" I have just looked it up in Ó Dónaill: plead / avenge / exact retribution etc] |
