Hazel, you've posted on the "welcome" forum, where people come to introduce themselves. I'm going to see if I can move this post to the "translation" forum.

As far as learning goes, yes...we're a group of learners who try to support one another, and we're very happy to help.

Welcome to the forum, Hazel!

Start off by taking a gander at some of all the links gathered in the Nascanna úsáideacha section—there are plenty of sites there for beginners.


That’ll be hard, ’cause it doesn’t really make any sense. It means something like “who you do something his/her/their to me”. It looks like it was meant to say something like ‘you do something for me’, but it doesn’t really …

Always wait for at least three people to agree on a translation, especially if it’s for something permanent.

My translations are usually GU (Ulster Irish), unless CO (Standard Orthography) is requested.

This thread has now been moved to the "Translation" forum. Please reply to it there.

Is it possibly part of a larger sentence?

Hi, Haze. Welcome to the forum. No worries that you posted in the welcome section - that's where we recommend you go first or if you are in doubt about where to post.

Redwolf has successfully moved your post so that your thread is now in the translation section - you are in the right place.

Your request is "you do something to me". Here's my attempt:

Téann tú i gcion orm. (CO) "You do something to me" in the sense of "you have an effect on me"

or

Gabhann tú i gcion orm. (GC) "You do something to me" in the sense of "you have an effect on me"

@native speakers - Would ímríonn tú orm be too negative?

Await further input ...

Yes. It means "you annoy me", "you trick me" or any one of several other possible effects, none of them complimentary!

'Tá tú dulta (or perhaps imithe) i gcion orm' is what I would say if I meant 'you have influenced or inspired me.' Ní bheadh sé agam san aimsir láithreach ar chor ar bith. Ní minic a aithnítear a leithéid ar ala na huaire, nó ní minic gur léir domsa é ar a laghad ar bith.

'Cuireann tú _____ orm' perhaps but we'd need to know what sort of effect is produced to fill in the blank.

Go raibh maith agat, agus fáilte romhat isteach sa bhfóram.
