    Could someone kindly translate that simple sentence into Gaeilge for me?

    Sorry, way too rusty to attempt it and it is for a friend, so I want to get it correct.

    This is the sentence: "For the attention of the manager."

    very quick and very kind. i feel like a loser having given up on Irish as a dead language (when i was at school). it was only when i went to america that i realized the importance of heritage...i think my reading (pronounciation) of written irish is quite good and it wouldn't be a stretch to actually learn it...but, so many things to do. i won't get pissed off again when they say this train is for Bray...Bre! thanks for helping out. p.s. i come from clonmacnoise rd. right next to where Phil lived!

    For your penance, maybe you could knock some sense into the angsty teens all over these fora who still feel that way now. :)
    BTW, I'd say your Irish is a lot better than you think. My experience of most Irish people is that lack of self-confidence is the main issue, not lack of ability or fluency.

    I agree with you here. Id say that is the biggest problem with the language flourishing. Everyone has Irish but are afraid to exhibit their knowledge of it.

    I'll kick yo' ass because of that statement.I'm 17 and would like irish,my linguistic skills would be fairly S***,but as a language i would prefer to see more of it and it's only now with my orals coming up i can see just how natural and dare i say easier it is than i would have thought ,i won't do that well but that's because i suck at poems and literature í mBearla agus Gaeilge,but for general chitty chitty chat it's grand.that and i'm from nowhere near an irish speaking area and have no interest in languages at all,so any preference by me is a miracle

    Why? You're clearly not one of the people I'm referring to, even if you are a teenager. I wasn't talking about all teenagers, if that's the impression I gave you. Just the know-all little bollix variety. :)
