my last question: i want to make sure the sentences structure is correct. what do these three really say? i'm hoping for something close to " i aim to misbehave" but i really want the word "misbehave" rather then "bold". I have my doubts only because when i use my english to irish dic. it doesnt come out right but writing is defferent then speaking in irish. and speaking is more important to me.
1) Tá rún agam bheith dalba
2) Tá fúm bheith dalba
3) Tá sé ar aigne agam bheith dalba
and:
Tá brath agam, tá sé ar brath agam, tá sé ar intinn agam, tá sé d'intinn agam, tá sé de rún agam, is rún dom, tá mé le, tá mé chun, tá mé ag brath ar ... and perhaps some more.
They all express intention.
A literal translation is useless.
And you can use simple verbs like
ceapaim, sílim = I think "to misbehave, misconduct" is literally "
mí-iompar", an elevated and somewhat clumsy Irish word, esp. when used in a sentence. It is reflexive, i.e. a reflexive object pronoun is necessary:
(Tá rún agam) mé féin a mhí-iompar = (I intend) "to misconduct myself".
