Gaelic translation:Sláinte
Explanation:
I agree with Orla. I have no hesitation in offering help to someone who is genuinely interested in the language but I am puzzled as to why there are so many questions from homework requiring the translation of a single word. If you are studying Irish then why do you not have a simple pocket dictionary? If you are not studying Irish then why does your homework contain Irish words? Perhaps your teacher suggested that you do an Internet search? Fine, but asking professional translators to do this for you is time-wasting for us when there are perfectly adequate reference dictionaries on line.
