Hello - I am trying to put together a motto using the old expression "An làmh a bheir 'si a gheibh" (the hand that gives is the hand that will receive)

I was wondering if anyone could help me reduce the length of it but still retain the overall meaning

cheers

Reduce the length haha you'll be lucky.

That is Scots Gaelic you have there. Do you want Gaelic or Irish?

Heh heh you're right Brid on both counts..thought I'd try

We will help you. But we have to know which language you want.

should be written a bit differently:

An làmh a bheir, 's i a gheibh.

(comma + separating "s" and "i").

One cannot shorten that sentence without making it wrong or impossible to understand... It's not terribly long, actually...
