    I am only a Gaelicbeginner but a lot of folks that I know who are fluent are reluctent to transulate for a Tattoo. Things dont always follow exactly from one language to another.

    Like the phrase "I Speak Gaelic" when transulated into Gaelic literally means "I Have Gaelic On Me"

    I appreciate that completely. Im not going to hold anyone to the translation, like i said before even if it's similar in translation to the meaning of "better everyday". I know translations are challenging but I'm really hoping for something! Thanks so much!

    So I've been able to research a little myself, maybe someone would be more apt to give advice on which seems more appropriate or maybe someone knows a much more betterer way to coagulate the phrase....

    1) cherish = araich
    2) better = nas fhearr (adv. Phr)
    3) improve = feairrdich, leasich, cuir am feabhas, mathaic, rach am feabhas, thig nas fhearr, thig thuige
    4) everyday = laitheil (adj)
    5) every = gach
    6) day = latha
    7) day by day = gu laitheil (adv. Phr)

    Again, not looking for someone to pin post tattoo regret on, just want it to be as correct as possible, any help is greatly appreciated!
