Hi, I am a West Ham fan and currently writing a school project about your individual self, so as an Irish west ham fan i need someone to translate for me

"Fortune's always hiding, I've looked everywhere".

Go raibh maith agat.

This strikes me as the type of phrase that would work a lot better if reworded slightly (it's clunky enough in English, translating it literally into Irish may be just as clunky, if not more so).

So to get the ball rolling


Is annamh an rud é an t-ádh (Roughly "fortune's a rare thing")

Wait for more input.

Literally:
Tá an t-ádh i bhfolach, bhí mé á lorg is gach áit.

i ngach áit do you mean?

Yes, that’s the Standard version.
is gach, ins gach are dialect forms.
I usually use Standard Irish. This passed unnoticed.

grma everyone, much appreciated

GRMA, I hadn't seen "is" before in this context (though I was aware of "ins")
