15 Jan 07 - 06:21 PM (#1937692) Subject: RE: Gaelic for I Love You From: Peace OK. I went to a dictionary site. The pronunciation will require Gaelic speakers, and I ain't. Thanks, Martin. |

15 Jan 07 - 07:38 PM (#1937765) Subject: RE: Gaelic for I Love You From: GUEST,JTT Ach, don't worry about it! Say "Mo cheol thú" and just pronounce it as 'much kyole hoo'. It'll be perfectly well understood and appreciated! (Literaly speaking, this means 'you are my music', but it is used metaphorically to mean 'I love you'.) |

15 Jan 07 - 08:46 PM (#1937812) Subject: RE: Gaelic for I Love You From: Malcolm Douglas For Scottish Gaelic, try 'tha gaol agam ort'; and for Manx, 'ta graih aym ort'. |

15 Jan 07 - 09:19 PM (#1937823) Subject: RE: Gaelic for I Love You From: Mooh Thanks for this thread folks. I just forwarded it to my daughter who has studied a bit of Gaelic...just to say I love you. Peace, Mooh. |

15 Jan 07 - 10:40 PM (#1937870) Subject: RE: Gaelic for I Love You From: GUEST,Seiri Omaar Awww... I feel loved. ;) My Scottish Gaelic book lists I love you as "Tha gradh agam ort". I don't know why exactly it's different from Malcolm's, it may be another Lewis-ism that made it into a Scottish Gaelic book made by two women from Lewis. ~S |

16 Jan 07 - 05:03 AM (#1938005) Subject: RE: Gaelic for I Love You From: GUEST,Obie English and Gaelic both have many ways to say the same thing. A literal word for word translation is not always best. "My love is on you!" would not sound as romantic in English as in Gaelic. |

17 Jan 07 - 12:17 AM (#1939079) Subject: RE: Gaelic for I Love You From: Muttley How about the Scots Gaelic for "How can I be guilty of treason when England is foreign to me" With the phonetic pronunciation of course! Muttley |
