How do you say this in Irish?
"I wouldn't want to be famous"
"because it would be hard to have a normal life again"

Ní bheadh mé ag iarraidh a bheith cáiliúil mar go mbeadh sé deacair a bhfuil saol gnáth arís.

Emm, I think its:

Ní theastódh uaim a bheith cáilúila mar bheadh sé deachair chun a bheith ag saol de gnáth arís

If you can't say it, don't say it. Try and simplify what you want to say, if you can't do that you'll just have to completely change what you want to say.

If its just oral prep, just agree with wanting to be famous. Say what you'd use you money for; What would you buy? Would you pull a Bono and save the world. Mentioning Bono would be a good way to mention an interest in music too.

Keep it simple and keep to what you know.

Its a better attempt, he could just make the second part of the sentence a bit simpler or even say that he would have difficulties and then mention what said difficulties he would have.

My Irish isn't what it was last year though, but I think it shoud be

"Ní theastódh uaim a bheith cáilúil"

Although I've a funny feeling I'm terribly wrong

Níor mhaith liom a bheith cáiliúil mar bheadh sé deacair filleadh ar an ngáthshaol.

Dare I question the helpfulness of that response for fear of the ban-hammer??


No, I think not

My Irish is not sufficiently good to attempt a translation, if that's what you mean.

Byhookorbycrook's suggestion looks good to me, but what do I know?

Now back on-topic, and helpful and relevant responses ONLY, please, lest I do have to dust off the hammer, which despite what you seem to believe I would prefer not to do.

Ní theastódh uaim a bheith cáiliúl
mar bheadh sé deachair gnáth saol a caitheamh arís

as close as I can get it :pac:

ballsymchugh

as was said, keep it simple. rasta's version is just about right. no offense byhookorbycrook, but it's EVER so slightly easier to manage than yours!

edit: although i'd change it slightly again....

níl cáil uaim, mar bheadh sé deacair....srl.

instead of the 'i wouldn't like to be famous' it says 'i don't want fame.'

ní bheadh mé ag iarraidh a bheith cáiliúil toisc go mbeadh sé deacair a bheith acu ar an saol gnáth arís.
