Ive searched the Gaelic websites but couldnt find what I needed... Ive noticed that some here on the sessions are good gaelic speakers...I was wondering if anyone could translate this into gaelic...(irish or scottish)
I believe that in Connemara dialect you'd say something like
JEE-na JEE-a sol-AHR,
where the Irish j is half way between English j and English d.
And I'm drunk would be
Tá me ar meisce
TAH may ed MESH-ke
where, get this, the d is halfway between English d and English r.
BTW, my pronounciation comes mostly from listening to native speakers on the tapes of Mícheál Ó Siadhail's "Learning Irish",
and not nearly enough from hearing real people speak. Hope to correct that soon.

Re: Gaelic
Déanfaidh Dia Soláthar
dane-hig dee-a sol-aw-har.
that said ive never actually had to pronounce that last word before so it mightnt be completly perfect but its acceptable.
(by the way my irish sadly comes from the education system of ireland and not from everyday usage so its not great)

Re: Gaelic
I believe the I'm Drunk is Ta Me air Miece. Is this correct or close to correct. Also, how is it pronounced?

Go to www.daltai.com They are a dedicated group of native speakers and scholars (as well as beginners) who can set you straight.
It's a great asset for learning Irish as well as getting short translations.
