A bheil doigh sam bith a radh seo anns a Gàidhlig?

"You wanna go eat?"

"Sounds good to me!"

"A bheil dòigh sam bith air seo a ràdh ann an Gàidhlig?"

"An tig thu airson biadh (còmhla rium?)" or "An tèid sinn airson biadh" ....there are other ways but these are two which run off my own tongue the best.

Answer - "Thig." or "Thèid."

Sounds good - in the sense of an affirmation then perhaps just ................Glè mhath. - then followed by something like "Tiugamaid!" Let's go!

Ah, chan e.

Yes sorry, "Tiugainn" is the correct form, rather than "tiugamaid".

Ceart gu leor, tapadh leibh.

"go eat" was just an example.

Perhaps: "Tha sin a còrdadh rium." ?

In that case...

you would probably say

"Còrdaidh sin rium"

Ian,
A quick tip: when trying to tr*nsl*t* little phrases like "sounds good to me", always try to think of alternatives that have a similar meaning in English.

Sometimes you'll find that one of them translates more easily than the others.
