My friend is about to start Uni exams, I wish to send him this message, or closet version of, in Irish.
He is studying Ulster if thats makes a difference
Any help anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated
Thankyou in advance


"Its amazing that after everything youre still pushing forward
I have much respect for you, and regardless the outcome, know youve done well"

And I think I sign it off with 'go n-éirí an bóthar leat'?

Well, here's a first stab, but don't send it off without confirmation/corrections:

"Tá sé go hiontach* dom go bhfuil tú ag tabhairt faoi leis an ollscoil fós, d'ainneoin na ndeacrachtaí a bhí/ atá** romhat
Tá an-meas agam ort. Ar neamhchead an thoraidh,*** go raibh an fhios agat gur jab iontach maith a rinne tú. Bullaí fir!****

Go n-éirí an t-ádh leat!

"It's amazing to me that you are tackling/attempting/going forward with university still, despite the difficulties that you had/have. I have a lot of respect for you. Despite the outcome, may you know that you've done a really good job. Good man, you!"

Best of luck

* I used "iontach" here because it can mean "amazing" as well as "wonderful"

** Not sure if this person's troubles are past (a bhí) or still facing him (atá).

*** I think this takes the genitive, but I'm not certain. That's what I've given you.

**** This is a particularly Ulster expression.

Please wait for more input...I'm sure there will be corrections or better suggestions.
