need to translate 'you can go ahead of me'

Hey guys,
Just looking to translate this sentence, say for when you're in a shop and you just want to be casual and say to someone behind you 'you can go ahead of me'.
I know of 'is féidir leat dul ar aghaigh, mas mian leat' but I'd like a more natural sounding translation if it's out there!

go raibh mile maibh agaibh

Is féidir leat dul romham.

Could you get away with "i do dhiaidh"?

onemorechance · 28-04-2009 01:29PM

i do dhiaidh = after you

is féidir leat dul ar aghaigh, mas mian leat = you can go ahead, if you wish

thanks for that.

It just occurred to that you can say 'tig leat' for 'is feidir leat'.
So tig leat dul romham sounds simpler even..

But could you say, tig leat dul os mo chomhair?

Would "ar aghaigh leat" work as well ?

I'd also use "Gabh ar aghaidh".

need to translate 'you can go ahead of me'
