Hello Everyone,


I've seen many threads asking for a translation for "live and let live", with the response being "ceart dom, ceart duit". I'm wondering how this is pronounced phonetically, because if I get this tattooed, I would like to be able to tell people the proper pronunciation.

Also, any fadas in this phrase? I don't think I've ever seen it written with any...


Thanks for your help!

Caitriona

No, there are no síntíocha fada in this phrase.
