Hi,

My grandmother keeps saying "sin a bhfuil go léir agus go n-eirí an t-adh leat".

I'm sure the last part means something like good luck?

Thanks. :pac:

The second part ''go n-éiri an t-ádh leat'' means good luck,not sure about the first part.

Google translate* gives...

That is all encumbrances and that the luck to you

I suppose one English equivalent would be "may all your troubles be little ones"

*my Irish isn't that good...

As Crosáidí said, 'That's all and good luck'.

are we sure about 'go léir' ?

I say ask her is she saying 'mo léar'?

I've never heard the sentence in the orig post

I've head sin a bhfuil go léir before. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

My father's always saying "mo lear" (sorry for lack of fada - n'fheadar chun e a dheanamh ar riomhaire i New Zealand). What does it mean?

It's probably mo léir he's saying, an expression to show regret.

Mo léir = alas
Léan is léir ort - that you might have sorrow and woe .... basically - bad cess to you!
