Dia duit,

I'm looking for a translation of the Latin Stoic expression "Amor Fati" Love of Fate

The closest I've come is grá don chinniúint.

I'm not sure if I should put in a second post. But I am also looking for a translation for "This too shall pass" (Persian: این نیز بگذرد, romanized: īn nīz bogzarad; Turkish: Bu da geçer Ya Hu) is an adage of Persian origin about impermanence.

The second was a favorite expression that my grandfather regularly quoted. He said it helped him through 5 campaigns in the South Pacific during WWII. And said it was the one universal truth.

Go raibh maith agaibh!

Mike

grá na cinniúna, Grá na Cinniúna

SL: gráḋ na cinneaṁna, Gráḋ na Cinneaṁna

There is no need for the preposition do (+ article = don) here. Simple genitive will do as it does in original Latin.
(BTW: It is not Stoïc but written by Nietzsche in 1882.)



Rachaidh seo thart freisin. (so in Connacht)
or Rachaidh seo thart fosta. (Ulster)
or Raghaidh seo thart leis. (Munster)

SL: Raċaiḋ (raġaiḋ) seo ṫart freisin / fosta / leis.

Thank you very much!

Very astute! You are absolutely correct. The phrase is from Nietzshe, but the concept does go back to Epictetus. However, it is not stated nearly as concisely or elegantly.

Your knowledge and expertise are greatly appreciated!

I would add that, in Munster, raghaidh sé seo thart leis seams more natural. Geobhaidh (future of gaibh) could also be used instead of raghaidh:

Raġaiḋ sé seo ṫart leis
Geóḃaiḋ sé seo ṫart leis

1) seo vs. sé seo
Interesting point.
It coud probably be true for all dialects.

2) Gabhfaidh, an ea?
Gabhfaidh is fut.of gabh.

The verb gabh is used instead of téigh in some tenses/moods.
Gabhfaidh instead of rachaidh occurs in Connacht, as well.

(Geobhaidh is fut. of faigh).

Geóbhaidh is the future of goibh too. The two verbs are aligned. Gabhfaidh mé is Standardised Irish.

Gaibh is irregular in Munster. Even the forms that would seam to be regular are pronounced irregularly, i.e. ghaibheas is pronounced /ɣais/ instead of /ɣav´əs/ which would be expected.

Well, that is probably Corca Dhuíbhne, which is of course the centre of gravity of the Munster Gaeltacht.

ghabhas: /ɣous/
ghoibh: /ɣov'/ in the Irish of West Muskerry but sounding like /ɣev'/ very often.
