Hi,

I am planning on asking my girlfriend to marry me in just over two weeks. She loves the Irish language, and I try to learn a few words a week with her and have basic conversations in Irish, but I still at a poor Jun Cert level !

If she says yes, I would like to get a T-Shirt made for her saying "Just got engaged", in Irish for when she tells her family (who are also lovers of the language).

I was wondering if someone here could tell me what "Just got engaged", is in Irish so I get it printed. I dont trust google translate !!

Go raibh maith agat a milliún !

díreach geallta ?

(Wait for others)

You are right not to trust Google translate.

Tá sí le bheith curtha liomsa!

Literally 'she is to be buried with me'.

But I don't know how well that would go down.

* Just so others will get the joke. Apparently the traditional way to propose in Irish was romantically: 'Do you want to be buried with my people?'.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.





or le bheith ceangailte

Cian

Thanks a million. The Irish were always a romantic bunch so !!

Can I take it that this is le bheith ceangailte is the way to go ?

I would say -

Tá mé geallta. - I am engaged. Literally - I am pledged (to be married).

otherwise people might think you're into a bit of S&M.
