I'm not totally sure how to pronounce this phrase: Beidh mo ghrá leatsa go deo.
Can someone help me with this?

Roughly: bay moh GHraa latt-suh guh joe.

GH is a kind of gargling sound ; the r is pronounced as in Spanish or Italian (with the tip of the tongue).
Maybe someone will be happy to record it for you, because it's better to hear the sentence rather than to see a rough phonetic transcription...

Here's a sound file for a Conamara/Cois Fhairrge-style pronunciation:

Beidh mo ghrá leatsa go deo.
BAY muh GHRAW L(y)AT-suh guh JOH
/b´ei mə ɣrɑ: l´æ:tsəgə d´o:/

What Lughaidh has given you is the Gaoth Dobhair pronunciation, but the differences are only slight in this case.

I am not a native speaker so you might prefer to wait for a native speaker like Bríd or Gumbi to make a file, if they have time.

I don't think you should transcribe "leat" as "L(y)AT", with a y, because there's nothing similar to a y-sound in this word. With single slender L's, you don't hear any y-sound, unlike double slender L's.
It's almost the same L as in English "late" or "to live" etc.

In British English, perhaps, but not in American English which uses a broader, darker L.

The y is in lower case and in brackets for a reason. I remove the brackets and write the Y in upper case for the slender double L.

I pronounce it like Lughaidh has put it here. My Irish is very Northern influenced (Derry and Mid Donegal).

Thank you all... This really helped. So I'm new here and it was really cool when I came back to read the replies and to see how into it you guys get. Thanks for your help!

Here's my effort, even though I am a little hoarse. Just to add to the mix.

I would be more inclined to put it something like:

Is leatsa a bheidh mo ghrá go deo
or (leaving out the 'understood' 'Is')
Leatsa a bheidh mo ghrá go deo

...but that is only an opinion, and I have given it as written.

Lovely, a Bhraoin - it's great to hear your husky voice again.


As far as an alternative translation goes, I agree, or perhaps even just Is leatsa mo ghrá go deo, and let the go deo carry the "future" meaning - but in this case we are mainly working at pronouncing the phrase that SierraBailey12 has asked us for.

This is a file of the above. I notice a sort of 'pre velarisation' of the l in anticipation of the t and s in 'leatsa'
