    Would 'cosc isteach' mean 'no entry'?

    Pretty sure "thérapie" is supposed to look French.

    "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'.
