(I hope I posted the title right! I'm still tryin' to learn)!
So... I am getting married next year. I have always been Daddy's little girl and I want to do something special for him (his whole side of the family is Scottish). I do wood carving and I want to make a frame for our daddy-daughter picture that says "a son is a son until he comes of age but a daughter is a daughter all her life" in Gaidhlig... So, I have been trying to find it on websites and stuff but to no avail and so I decided to try and tr*nsl*t* it out myself.... If I could get some input cuz there are a few words I'm not sure which usage is right, I would really appreciate it!
"A son is a son until he comes of age but a daughter is a daughter all her life".
"leanabh-mic neo-riagh leanabh-mic gu/gus/gu ruige (thats "until" and I'm not sure which way to use it) bha ainmig ochd deug/thig gu h-aois (thats "of age" and I dunno which way is correct) ach/ach seacha-sin ("but" or "but, apart from that"??) leanabh-nighinn/fitheach (a daughter?) neo-riagh leanabh-nighinn/fitheach (a daughter?) uile/uileag (all?) sealbh/neo-ath (her?) bith/beatha (life?).
So... yeah... I bolded all the words I wasnt sure how to use with the two or three options I was confused on (each slash seperates the two or three ways I found and am unsure about)... If I could get some help, that would be AWESOME!!
Thank you!
