Hi there,
I was looking to find out what the english tr*nsl*t**n of bèo an dòchas is? If anyone could help me that would be fantastic.
Thanks very much.

Thanks very much, could it be 'ever hopeful'? I was told this is what bèo an dòchas means but have nothing else to back it up.
Cheers

It could also tr*nsl*t* as 'living in hope' or 'alive in hope'.
'an dòchas' is often short for 'ann an dòchas' = in hope,
as in 'Tha mi an dòchas gu...' - I (am in) hope that...
