I need a bit of help. I have a scene where a female character swears in Gaelic at someone else. I need her to say, "And you're no better than the monster who took me." Took being in the sense of sexually, as in rape.

I've split this off from another thread (viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1569), as it might get lost in the other discussions there.



Perhaps:

Agus ní fearr thusa ná an t-anchúinse a d'fhuadaigh mé !
"And you're no better than the monster who took me."

Anchúinse meaning both "monster" and "scoundrel" can be found in a list from Caoimhín in the original thread.

Fuadaigh "to abduct" is also used as a euphemism for "rape" in Irish.

My grammar may need correcting so be sure to wait for further input ...
