    Hi all!

    I wonder if you would be able to help me with the following sentences in Irish.
    In the context where someone is using bad language when it's not appropriate.
    Mind your language!
    or
    Language!

    Here's my pitiful attempt.

    Ná bí ag (I don't know how to say using) droch-teanga!

    I know I'm showing my age :)

    More from focloir.ie:

    - seachain do theanga!
    - coimhéad an rud a deir tú!
    - ná fliuch do bhéal arís leis an bhfocal sin!

    Éist do bhéal... Watch your mouth.

    Question seems to be at odd with the username :)

    Cuir bac ar do theanga

    Coimeád smacht ar do theanga

    Bíodh muineadh agat

    Seachain an droch-chaint

    Níl aon gá le droch-chaint

    All excellent responses above but in case the feker hasn't got the message you could say:
    Cuir uait an chaint ghraosta.
    Fág i do dhiaidh an gháirsiúlacht.

    Ná bí ag eascainí = Don't be swearing.

    Ná bí ag eascainí = Don't be swearing.

    My choice too.

    Bíodh muineadh agat

    I would say - Bíodh múineadh ort.
