Yes. ;) (That is to say, go díreach means "exactly")

Thanks everyone. I think it's between leoga and go díreach. If leoga means "indeed", what does go díreach mean exactly?

go díreach would be translated as "exactly".

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.

If you want to get more literal about it, díreach means straight or direct.

An slí díreach: the direct route
Díreach anois: right now (immediately)
Go díreach: Exactly (straight to the point/right on etc.)

Leoga is a new word for me.

Wouldn't it be "an tslí dhíreach"?

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.
