Hello all! I was wondering if you could please help me translate to CO.

"Sisters in Spirit"


Or something that has the same meaning.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi, again.

Perhaps:

Deirfiúracha croí "Sisters of the heart"

or

Deirfiúracha anama "Sisters of the soul"

or

Deirfiúracha inár gcroí "Sisters in our hearts"

Await further input ...

The basic word is croí, but for grammatical/pronunciation reasons, the "g" is added after inár ("in our"), indicating that the initial "k" sound of croí changes to a "g" sound. Irish, like other Celtic languages, has a lot of these "consonant mutations", especially at the beginning of words.

Similarly, if you wanted to say "my heart", then it would be mo chroí, indicating a different mutation after the possessive pronoun mo ("my").
