thank you so much!!! but i got it wrong...its supposed to be "success NOURISHES hope...duh...clan name is ross,thank you for spending time on that for me!!
Soirbh = success
Thoir = bring
Dóchas = hope/confidence
Sorry it took me so long to get that last word, i had to ask a few people at work, however putting all the words together may not mean what you want it too. The language is very difficult when putting the words together...if you know what i mean.
(i.e.Soirbh thoir Dócha) may not necessarily mean 'Success brings hope' when put together even though they are the words for them. (ok, maybe i am confusing ya now, cause i sure am confusing myself....but thats not difficult to do! lol)
I will try and find out for you.....
A lil bit o useless information for ya...
We (me, Kim and James) use what is known as 'Doric', its a language that has evolved itself over the years and usually people in the North East of Scotland use it. It is the language i use and going by Kim and James's messages...it is what they use too. lol
We say things like:
Fit like iday en?? Which means 'How are you today?' lol
Soirbh = success
Dóchas = hope/confidence
If i am correct...this is the translation for success and hope, not many people use gaelic these days, but i will try and get the full translation for you asap.
Using it in context is a little trickier, as it can be translated into different ways.
Like i said, i will try find out the whole saying for you.
Why don't you ask to Kim (ScotJoanOfArk) or James her husband (Stilltrying)? They're in Edinburgh. And I know Kim speak Scottish, she sent me a pm in Scottish a while ago, I couldn't understand a word, she had put the translation w/it fortunately! lol. xxx. sophie.
Lostdreams is Scottish.I'm sure if she sees this she will help you out,or you could send her a pm.
