Translation help urgently needed

rightofwayed

hi could anyone please spare 5 minutes to translate the text below. I don't know how to myself and I need to translate and learn it. Thanks in advance for any replies.

If I won the lotto I would buy a new house, take a nice holiday and look after my family.

Thanks!!!

Thank you, I know I'm being cheeky but is there any chance you could write it phonetically as I'm unsure about some of the pronounciation. Thanks!!

I'll try

daw mu hinn an crown hur naw shoon ta, can owen tah nu a, aw gus tar hinn ar aw do mo hi loch

those ch's are difficult to write phonetically as there's no equivalent sound in english

Thanks a million I really appreciate you taking the time to do this.

Lots of spelling mistakes, and the holiday part was left out. Not a bad attempt overall though. Wait for my version to be confirmed, don't have time to double check it right now.

Dá mbuafainn an crannchur náisiúnta (National lotto), cheannóinn teach nua, rachfainn ar saoire, agus thabharfainn aire do mo mhuintir

Couple of things

- This is a literal translation, and works, although it's a bit stilted. I wouldn't *exactly* say it like this in speech (I would give it a dialectal spin, and perhaps reword it a bit).
- When you say "take care of my family" do you mean that literally, or in the sense of implying you would "give them money" as it were (you know the way some people use the phrase "I took care of him" as in, I gave him money, did him a favour etc. not in the sense of taking care of a child)
- Are you talking about your family as a whole, or the household? I gave the word used for the former.

GUMBI you seem like you know your stuff, i have a quick one for you, when you are writing school style (As in the style thats in schools today) is it simply scoil stíl? cant get a confirmation on this at all...

I've never heard the phrase "school style" in English, but I'd imagine it'd translate as "stíl scoile". What exactly do you mean by it?

A friend of mine setting up a shop selling schoolwear, calling it school-style (style of clothes school children wear), she thought it was scoil stíl,

Scoil means school and stíl means style bit thay doesn't mean scoil stíl means school style In Irish the order is swapped, and a grammattical rule must be applied.

Stíl scoile as An File said is probably what you're looking for.

You could actually also say scoil-stíl with the hyphen I think, I'm not convinced the concept translate over however, as even in English it doesn't sit well with me.
