Translation in Irish

[MGJ2]

Could someone help me please? I am looking for the correct translation of the word 'team' in Irish. Team in the meaning of 'me and my horse competing in cross country are a team.

Hope someone can help me.

Regards

Thank you, that is what I found but I wanted to check with the Irish speaking community if this suggestion is correct.

Even though I studied Irish for years, I don't ever remember learning the word for "team". I wonder what that indicates.

As for English, I would not say "me and my horse competing in cross country are a team". I would say, "My horse and I compete as a team in cross country".

The translation given for that phrase is - " Mo capall agus mé féin san iomaíocht mar fhoireann sa tír tras".

"Mo capall" - my horse
"Mé féin" - myself
"Iomacht" - play (as in "to play a game")
"fhoireann" - team
"Tír" - country/land
"Tras" - across


"Capall" is the Gaelic word for "horse".

"Capaill" is the genitive (possessive) version of "horse" e.g. "of a horse", "horse's" as in "the tail of a horse" or "a horse's mane".

Note also that the word "Tír" is pronounced like the English word "Tier" (as in the tier of a terrace).

The boy's name (and county name) of Tyrone is an Anglicisation of the word's "Tír Eoin" in other words, the Land of Owen.

Therefore, the correct pronunciation of Tyrone is not "Tie Rowan" but "Tier Owen".
