Just a quick one! How do you say, for example "two plus two equals four" as gaeilge and what is the Irish translation for other basic mathmatical words i.e multiply, subtract & divide etc, A link to something relevant would be great Go raibh maith agat

Yes Conchubhair is right.

But a shorter way of saying it is-

ADDING
Dó ‘s Dó, a ceathair (two and two, four)
Cúig ‘s cúig, a deich

DEVIDING
Seachtó roinnte ar seacht, a deich

MULTIPLING
Deich [méadaithe] faoi dhó, fíche
