Looking for a translation for "Home of my Soul" in Irish Gaelic.
Something like "Baile Na m'anam" ? or just "Baile m'anam"?

Is that even close to correct? Not looking for "soul mate". I'm describing a place, not a person.

Thanks very much.

Grammatically, it would be "baile m'anama", with anam in the genitive case ("of my soul"). The word baile can mean "home", but doesn't necessarily have all of the same nuances as the English word. Still, I can't think of any other way to say what you want that doesn't either sound awkward or alter the meaning. If including the word "soul" isn't critical, you could use the expression "mo dhúchas". The word dúchas has meanings along the lines of one's native place, hereditary homeland, etc. I suppose you could say "dúchas m'anama". That might be seen as a bit redundant, although I guess not everyone feels that their soul is attached to their homeland.

Thanks very much. Yes the place I'm referring to is not my ancestral home. I appreciate your help!

I wonder if "Place" (áit) would suit here? Áit m'Anama
