Hi.
I was wondering if I could please get a small phrase translated into Irish.
The phrase is 'always remember'. I am having this tattooed and have heard this forum is very accurate.
Could I please have it in the Munster dialect. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
:D

I don't know if the Munster dialect would vary very much on this one. I can't see how it would, at least.

Cuimhnigh i gCónaí

Wait to see if others can offer anything else.

This is what I would say as well.

Or, if you mean "remember forever" rather than "remember at all times," you could go with Cuimhnigh go Deo or Cuimhnigh go Brách

Yes. The C is the first letter of the word, "Cónaí". The letter g which precedes it serves a grammatical function but is not the first letter of the word, and so remains un-capitalised.

Also, pay attention to the accent marks over the ó, and the last letter, í. They're important. Without them, the word is misspelled, and would be mispronounced by a reader.
