Help with translation

Tk6151

I am getting this tattoo but I would like to make sure I have it correctly spelled: oth aon rud sa saol = Regret nothing in life. Any help would be fantastic.

Better off asking in an irish forum tbh.

My irish is basic and I can tell you the above is wrong. Oth isn't a verb for a start (afaik)

so it should at least be Is oth aon rud sa saol,
then I think aon rud is anything, rud are bit is nothing so, "Is oth rud ar bith sa saol"

But like I said, get somebody on the irish forum to have a look, the above are just two observation from me, because I don't think what you posted is correct

Why get an Irish tattoo if you don't speak Irish???


I've never heard of oth

Regret is aiféala

So it could be something like "With no regret in my life"

Gan aiféala i mo shaol

I agree with this.

I've heard "oth" being used but I can't remember the context so I've no idea what it translates to in English.
I would change cherub rock's translation slightly to "Gan aiféala sa saol".
Either way, the OP should get a more concrete translation before getting the tattoo. I'm sure they don't want to end up with something spelt and translated wrong like this person:

Don't see why the OP can't get an Irish tattoo regardless if they speak it or not. I'm sure they have some basic Irish just not fluent in it.

The OP is most likely Irish and Irish is the first language of this country.

Still not a great idea if they don't know how to translate it themselves, as they could get something that looks like it could be right, but is actually grammatically way off. Like the "Drug'ail saor" example.

Nobody has said the OP can't get a tattoo with Irish text in it. If the OP doesn't actually know the language then they might as well get a tattoo in Klingon or Kanji for all the relevance it has to them.

Exactly. The difference in meaning between "Free from Drugs" and "Free Drugs" is quite a lot .
