Hello to all

I'm needing a hand with these sentences. I would like to know which one would you chose if you would have to pick "The most proper translation" for:

("If you mess with me. You will regret it.")


(1) -Ma bheanas tu riumsa. Bidh aithreachas ort.

(2) -Ma's buair thu mi. Bithidh duilich leat.

(3) -Ma chuireas tu dragh orm. Gabhaidh thu aithreachas.

(4) -Ma chuireas sibh dragh orm. 'S sibhsa a bhios duilich.


Please Help me chose.

Tapadh leibh.

I really can't speak any Gaelic, but I can give you one nitpickers piece of advice. Swap the period with a comma. wink.gif

I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."

Hello MacPhee!

I am a student of Gaelic, but not fluent. I have posted your question on a Gaelic list I subscribe to, but so far no one has answered. I'll try posting it on another! Sorry its taking so long!

Hello again.

I've recieved a reply on an other site about my question but I would need a second advice if it would be possible?

The person voted for the fourth one:

(4) -Ma chuireas sibh dragh orm. 'S sibhsa a bhios duilich.

But added in his reply...dragh should take an à (dràgh) and sibhsa should be (sibhse).

So the correct way to wright it would be:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ma chuireas sibh dràgh orm, 's sibhse a bhios duilich"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could someone please confirm this version.

Thanks a million. smile.gif

MacPhee

P.S.Sorry to be persistant with this question but I want to be sure. rolleyes.gif
