    Tá mé ag fáil tatú as Gaeilge!

    I’m getting a tattoo in Irish!

    Ó! Cén focal?

    Oh! Which word?

  5. Dara

    “Mo anam cara.” Do mo chairde go léir!

    “Mo anam cara.” For all my friends!

  6. Orla

    Fan! Ní “mo anam cara” é. “M’anamchara” atá ann, focal amháin.

    Wait! It’s not “mo anam cara”. It’s “m’anamchara”, one word.

    Ó! Go raibh maith agat. Smaoineamh eile: neart.

    Oh! Thanks. Another idea: neart, strength.

  8. Aoife

    Neart, nó misneach? Is breá liom misneach.

    Strength, or courage? I love courage.

    Bhí “ní neart go cur le chéile” ag m’athair ar a lámh.

    My dad had “ní neart go cur le chéile” on his arm.

    Is maith liom “dóchas”.

    I like “dóchas”, hope.

    Seiceáil na sínte fada, áfach!

    Check the fadas, though!

  12. Orla

    Cuir fada ar “fear”, agus is “féar” é. Rud a itheann na ba!

    Put a fada on “fear”, a man, and it’s “féar”: grass, what cows eat!

  13. Dara

    Ceart go leor. “Neart.” Gan fada ar bith!

    Right. “Neart.” No fada at all!

  14. 0:01

    Rogha mhaith!

    Good choice!

  15. Two hours later

    Tá sé déanta! Bhí sé an-phianmhar.

    It’s done! It was very painful.

  17. Aoife

    Taispeáin dúinn é!

    Show us!

    “Neart.” Agus ní dhearna siad botún ar bith!

    “Neart.” And they didn’t make a single mistake!

    Maith thú, a Dhara!

    Well done, Dara!

  20. Maith thú! Tattoo words, and why the fadas matter.
