Emerald Enchantment

Irish Glossary Meanings
 

These are as correct as possible as there are many different translations and ways to speak Irish, unlike the first post of this fiction where I didn’t want anyone to know the meanings until the story revealed them. I figured it would be a good idea to let you readers decide if you wanted my definitions of them, rather than finding other sites and looking them up while you read and possibly not finding the true meaning of each word.

Airíonn tú chomh leas- You feel so good
