It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

Méara -- or maybe Méara Meara -- either way, thanks everyone!

Now, as to pronunciation, that's a whole new question! Help?

Ideally, someone will make you a sound file (there are subtle sounds in Irish difficult to convey using English phonics), but to get you started, roughly:

MAY-ruh MAR-uh
