| Needing confirmations - Hello to all.
I'm needing a hand with these sentences. I would like to know which one would you chose if you would have to pick "The most proper translation" for: ("If you mess with me. You will regret it.") (1) "Ma bheanas tu riumsa. Bidh aithreachas ort." (2) "Ma's buair thu mi. Bithidh duilich leat." (3) "Ma chuireas tu dragh orm. Gabhaidh thu aithreachas." (4) "Ma chuireas sibh dragh orm. 'S sibhsa a bhios duilich." Please Help me chose. Tapadh leibh. MacPhee | |

| Number 3 - I think if you want to say the particular statement "If you mess with me. You will regret it." First it would make more sense if it had a comma and not a period. That is bad english to begin with. The first statement is an incomplete sentence. This would make more sense: "If you mess with me, you will regret it."
So with that change, I believe the third choice would be the best choice in expressing this statement. (3) Ma chuireas tu dragh orm, gabhaidh thu aithreachas. That is my recommendation. | |
