Yet more translating

Gan Airgead Luach = No Cash Value

Sraith Comórtas = Tournament Series

Éireann (Éire) agus Meiriceá = Ireland and America


Are these correct, or is there a better way of saying them?

Are you translating from irish, or to irish?

They are all accurate if its from irish.

To irish, there are better terms.

No Cash Value - Gan Luach Airgeadas - [though it does depend on the context]
Tournament Series - Straith Craobhanna [Craobh being the irish for Tournament]
Ireland and America - Éire agus na Stáid Aonaithe/Méiriceá [United States/America]

Good luck

On a different forum, someome wants to translate to Irish. Something to do with an Irish/American Poker night.

Thanks.

I think you're making one or two mistakes Jesjes.

'Airgeadas' means 'finance' rather than 'cash'. And you forgot the tuiseal ginideach that would follow when two nouns come together(luach airgeadais). 'Cash' is 'airgead tirim' in Irish(literally 'dry money') So the first one would be:

"Gan luach airgid thirim"


"Sraith" is the Irish word for "series" and "craobh" means "final" rather than a tournament. "Comórtas" is simpler and clearer, so it'd be:

"Sraith Comórtas"

The last one would be "Éire agus na Stáit Aontaithe/Meiriceá"
