Hello,
I'm new to this forum with a question. The term
"mo ceart-leth"
was used by a woman addressing a man and said to tr*nsl*t* as "my soulmate / my true half"
Is that correct? Can anyone please confirm or disprove it? And in case of disproval provide the word for "soulmate"?
Thanks a lot.

Consult Am Faclair Beag (dictionary) for meaning - make your own mind up how relevant it is. It's not a common expression or concept (but then neither is soulmate).

One important point, though: the word "mo" (my) lenites the next word, i.e. adds the letter H after certain consonants, one of which is C. So the form would be

faoileag, that helps, thank you. Maybe soulmate is not common - but nice to have.
I suppose the next question is how it is spoken and whether it is spoken differently if it comes with 'mo'.
Can anyone help with that?
