Grá mo chroí thú: How to write to your Valentine as Gaeilge

We couldn't let this special day pass without giving you some of our favourite words for love as Gaeilge. Go forth and surprise your love, with a card written as Gaeilge!

Deirtear go minic go bhfuil saibhreas agus filíocht bhreise sa Ghaeilge nach bhfuil sa Bhéarla agus tchítear dúinne go bhfuil sin fíor i gcás Lá 'le Vailintín, ach go háirithe.

To my darling....

A mhuirnín, a thaisce, a ghrá geal, a stór...

I am madly in love with you..

Tá mé dúnta i ngrá leat/ tá mo chroí istigh ionat

you are the love of my life...

grá mo chroí thú/ is tú mo stóirín.

You know how I love you...

is eol duit méid mo ghrá duit.

I want to be with you forever..

Ba mhaith liom a bheith leat go deo na ndeor..

Éist anseo to Beo ar Éigean talking about the spectrum of love; from the first spark of interest, to the tradition of dánta grá in the Irish language tradition
