Beautiful Daughter????

poguemahone

Looking for some help. I am getting a Celtic cross tattoo with some gaeilge writing for two reasons, 1 it looks cool, and two I like having to explain things to people. I am getting A ghra Mo chroi around one bend of the circle, from my research that roughly translates into love of my heart? I also am looking to get beautiful daughter, the tattoo is like a symbol of my love for my daughter if you will and would like to find out how to write that out. Hoping it is somewhat short like the first one, if you could also write out how to say that, it would be much appreciated. I am very new to this language but am trying to learn as much as possible. I would also like to note I am not set up for fadas and that is why they have not been entered. Thank you for any help.:)

Iníon álainn would be my guess, but I'm sure there are nicer ways of putting it.

what would that be roughly translated to english? And how would one pronounce that? thanks for your input.

PurpleFistMixer

iníon = daughter (inn-een)
álainn = beautiful/lovely (awl-in)

thanks for the help. this is the right context too correct? It doesn't seem like that should be a problem in this phrasing, but just making sure.
thanks again everybody.

Here's an extract from the Ó Dónaill dictionary:

grá...Beloved person. A ghrá,my love;my dear. Grá mo chroí, my heart's beloved, my darling.

how about 'A iníon gleoite' which is a softer less direct way of saying 'O lovely/beautiful daughter'
