    Hi a chairde,

    How would I say the following in Irish?

    What time are you getting in?
    What time are you getting home?
    What time are you getting into the (railway) station
    What time are you coming into the station

    Or is there a better/ more natural way to express this in Irish?


    Here are some of my attempts

    Cén t-am an bhfuil tú ag teacht isteach
    What time are you getting in?

    Cén t-am an bhfuil tú ag teacht abhaile
    What time are you getting home?

    Cén t-am an bhfuil tú ag teacht isteach go dti an stáisiún =What time are you coming into the station?

    Cén t-am an bhfuil tú ag teacht isteach sa stáisiún =What time are you coming into the station?

    Cén t-am an gheobhaidh tú isteach sa stáisiún? = what time will you get into the station?

    gheobhaidh mé ag 6:15 = I will get in at

    ní bhfaighidh mé go dtí ag 6:45 = I won't get in until

    Go raibh maith agaibh!

    Here are my suggestions whatthefeck;

    What time are you getting in?
    Cén am a bheidh tú ann?

    What time are you getting home?
    Cén am a bheidh tú sa bhaile?

    What time are you getting into the (railway) station?
    Cén am a shroichfidh tú an stáisiún (traenach)?

    What time are you coming into the station?
    Cén am a bheidh tú ag an stáisiún?

    I will get in at 6:15
    Beidh mé ann ag 6:15

    I won't get in until 6:45
    Ní bheidh mé ann go dtí 6:45.

    Undoubtedly there are other ways of translating all of the above but 'hope these help for now :)
