Hello,

I need to translate the sentence "Living the present, Creating the future. Together." in Irish Gaelic. Could you please help me?

Thanks,
Fede

Hi Fede,

Its difficult to express what you are looking for as succinctly in Irish, simply because 'present' and 'future' don't have the same semantic range of meanings as they do in English. Irish has different words (sometimes phrases) to express the different nuances of each word:

e.g. 'present':

Just a suggestion,

Caith an saol sa lá atá inniu ann, is cruthóimid todhchaí le chéile amach anseo (CO)

Caith an saol insa ló 'thá inniuimh ann, is cruthóimíd todhchaí (i dteannta a chéile/ le chéile) amach anso (GM)

'Live life today and we will create a future together going forward.'

Insular script (Cló Gaelach): Caiṫ an saol sa lá atá inniu ann, is cruṫóimid toḋċaí le ċéile amaċ anseo (CO)

Wait for some more input!

Cian

Thank you for the help!

I had other inputs meanwhile, and at the moment the two more plausible options seems to be:

(1) Ag tarraingt chugainn an lá atá inniu ann. Ag cruthú an lá atá le teacht. In éindí.

(2) Go mairimid inniu. Go gcruthaímid amárach. Le chéile.

I am currently wondering about the difference between "Le chéile" and "In éindí", and whether it is possible to write the sentence (2) using the objective (the original sentence is "Living the present. Creating the future." with living and creating used transitively)

Thanks,
Fede
