:good: , I was trying to use 'de' as a means of breaking the genitive; so instead of 'of' or 'of something', I was trying to say something along the lines of 'for the end of days'. May be 'le haighaidh' would have been a better option to express that?

I would still be happy to go with the phrase quoted above though :good:


Possibly, though "le haighaidh" has more the meaning of "for the purpose of" ("Chuaigh mé go Supermac's le haighaidh an lón")

For "for" you'd want "do," not "de."

:facepalm: I can never tell the difference between 'de' and 'do', because they are used interchangeably in Munster; except in Cork, where they use (or used to use) 'de' in the sense of 'off', e.g. thit sé den chrann 'he fell off the tree'.

Ya, that's a good point.

:S Supermacs, eugh! I'm hoping whoever brought you there, fed you some proper food after :)

Ceart go leor, after extense research and e-mail replies of professional advises, such as Freagra.net, Irish translators, Focloir.ie and also Bitesizeirishgaelic.com ( though they haven't answered me yet, but I'm sure it will be the same answer, after all), and cinnte, including all of your advises too, I have come to a conlusion. You are right Redwolf, there is no "of" for this case.

Here is the final draft: Eaglais Shoiscéalach Idirnáisiúnta na nGaiscioch Urnaí: arm coisricthe mórchumhachtach Dé na deireanacha laethanta.

I've discovered that it will be best "Gaiscioch Urnaí" as it is the right term for Prayer Wariors, since a prayer warrior is a term for someone who commits himself in prayer for others, and "paidreoireachta" means "act of praying" so it doesn't fit here, but, according to Irish examples, we have "Prayer life," "prayer meeting," "prayer group," etc, and many all end up with "urnaí". Though there are numerous terms for "prayer" in Irish, I'll stay with "urnaí", since it's short.

Go raibh míle maith agat!

I'm going to get ready for the logo design and, after it's done, I want to share it with you all, since you have been so kind and professional. Thanks for accepting and for not excluding me for being a believer. This forum proves to be professional, inspite of their personal views for religion or beliefs, and everything else of the matter, because you are more interested in the language and taking all requests and doubts as a challenge for the sake and love of the Gaeilge language.

P.S. Just curious. What are the differences between "paidir", "urnaí", "buí"? You know, in Spanish, for example, there are two ways to say "prayer", which is "oración" and "rezo". Though both mean almost the same, "rezo" or "rezar" (verb), which Catholics use to "recite" prayers, and "oración" or "orar" (verb), comes from "oral", as in to speak or converse. Is it the same in Irish? What are the differences in Irish?

What you asked for was:

What you've "settled on" is:

You'd gotten deireanacha in the wrong place, and lost a síneadh fada (vowel lengthener) from Gaiscíoch.

Coisricthe means "consecrated"; ungtha is "anointed". The oil itself is "consecrated" but an anointed person could also possibly be considered to be "consecrated", but that isn't what the original English says, if get what I mean. :panic:

I'd suggest that your final draft, subject to three people agreeing here, should be:

Eaglais Shoiscéalach Idirnáisiúnta na nGaiscíoch Urnaí: arm ungtha mórchumhachtach Dé na laethanta deireanacha

In old script:

Eaglais Ṡoiscéalaċ Idirnáisiúnta na nGaiscíoċ Urnaí:
arm ungṫa mórċuṁaċtaċ Dé na laeṫanta deireanaċa



But you've probably already got the sign painted by now. :LOL:
