Ok so im gettin a tat soon... and theres words in gaelic that i have no idea what they mean... HELP!!!?

Question

i think this is how its supposed to look...

"gra dilseacht cairdeas mo anam cara"

i need to know what this means before i get it inked into my skin... PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Answer 1

"gra dilseacht cairdeas" : 'love loyalty friendship'

"mo anam cara" is wrong (means 'my spiritual advisor/confessor') and should be "cara m'anama" : 'my soul friend'

Answer 2

Gra, Dilseacht, Cairdeas ="Love, Loyalty, Friendship"

mo anam cara = "my soul mate"

Hope this helps. Good Luck and have a nice day.

Answer 3

grá = love

dílseacht = loyalty

cairdeas = friendship

dont forget the fada (accents) on grá and dílseacht, the words are meaningless with out them.

mo anamcara is spelt incorrectly.

It should be-

m'anamchara

The "o" is replaced with an apostrophe and the "h" in cara has to be there or else the word is meaningless.

m'anamchara means soulmate but not in the same sense as the English word. Its a spiritual advisor, like a godparent for example.

If you dede you dont like any of those and you want to look up other single words heres a reliable dictionary

However if you want to make any sentences you should ask because Irish grammer is complex

Answer 4

Why are you getting a tattoo of something that doesn't even have a meaning to you... Irs going to be there forever... You'll regret it if you don't take it serious

Answer 5

gra dilseacht cairdeas translates to love, loyalty, friendship

mo anam cara translates to my soulmate
