The "What is this English word/phrase in Irish" thread

Would 'cosc isteach' mean 'no entry'?

hold here (as in place card on machine) = coinnigh anseo e (e with a fada)

Pretty sure "thérapie" is supposed to look French.

An gal gréine

"Ceartlár" I reckon is what's meant and a typo was entered with the "c".
"lár" might have done it but "ceartlár" means the exact centre.
The other two look good.
Teiripe is the word for therapy.



No entry:
Cosc ar iontráil.
Ná téitear isteach.
Níl cead isteach.
This is what the dictionaries say.

"Cosc isteach" you might get away with as a pithy way of saying it.
The question would be, would people understand, and I think they would.


"Cuir anseo" or "Leag anseo" for place (card) here.
"Coinnigh anseo" is to "keep here" which may be a little off.

Hi guys. How would you say 'bonfire night' in Irish?

Are these both correct or are there better versions?

• oiche fheile eoin
• oíche chnámh

Cnámh on its own is 'bone' etc.

Tine chnámh is 'bonfire'.
