Can someone please translate the following for me? Phrased it a couple of different ways in case the exact translation doesn't make sense. Thanks so much... I've been looking for something to do for a long time in honor of my daughter.

"I made a wish and you came true"

"My wish come true"

"My wish was you"

"Wish come true"

Pretty please? Anyone?

This may take a while, as the idiom "wish come true" doesn't translate easily to Irish.

Folks, this is way beyond my ability. Anybody else care to take a stab at it?

Closest I can think of is something like:

Bhí tusa mar mian dom: You were as a wish to me

But it's both weirdly literal and a bit ambiguous, as "mian" also means "desire." I'm not even entirely sure it works grammatically.

Definitely wait for a lot more input.

I would think something like "Fonn a fhíoraíodh" - 'A wish that was fullfilled', although to be honest I'm not really sure if 'fonn' is the right word there.
"Aisling a fhíoraíodh" - 'A dream come true' might be a better bet...

I think mian could work, as Redwolf suggested. (A mhian mo chroí "my heart's desire" is yet another way to say "darling" in Irish.)

Thug mé mian duit agus tháinig tú ar mo mhian. "I made a wish and you came true" literally "I wished for you and you came/appeared as I desired."

Fuair mé mo mhian. "My wish come true" literally "I got my wish."

Ba thusa mo mhian. "My wish was you"

Go bhfíoraí mo mhian. "Wish come true" literally "May my wish come true."

(All in CO)

Await further input ...

Thanks everyone! I got this from another poster that I think I'm going to use instead:
Is tú mo stór

You are my treasure

Or keeping with the "wish" theme, you could try:

Is tú mian mo chroí. "You are my heart's desire."

That's a nice one.

I think you could also use the verb fíoraigh to say:

Mian a fhíorú í
[A] wish which came true

Mo mhian a fhíorú í
My wish which came true
