  1. F*** you is "dáthadh ort"

    This is correct, I don't know why I have thumbs down.


  2. We dont have atranslation for **** you in Irish.

    Im Drunk = Táim ar meisce

  3. He'd probably die happier without such a dubious honor?? Why would you even want such a phrase forever???

  4. Why do you want to perpetuate the stereotype that all Irishmen are drunkards? Stereotypes are so offensive! This doesn't sound like an honor but a true insult.

    Wouldn't this be a real way to honor him?

    PHRASE: Tapadh leat, mo seanathair

    PRONOUNCED:                 tapah lat, muh sean-ah-hirr

    MEANING: Thank you, my Grandfather

    Here's some other good phrases:

    PHRASE: Ni ceart go cur le cheile

    MEANING: There is no strength without unity

    PHRASE: Coimhead fearg fhear na foighde

    PRONOUNCED:               koe-vade varrig farr nah foe-ih-geh

    MEANING:              Beware the anger of a patient man

    PHRASE: Slainte agus tainte!

    PRONOUNCED:                 slawn-che oggus tinn-che

    MEANING: Health and Wealth!

    PHRASE: Eireann go Bragh !

    PRONOUNCED:                 air-inn go braw

    MEANING: Ireland forever!

    PHRASE: Beagan agus a ra go maith

    PRONOUNCED:                 byug/onn ogg/iss a raw guh mot
