Tá grá agam duit

I love you · Taw graw ag-um dit

Tá grá agam duit means I love you, and is said Taw graw ag-um dit.

Word for word

Taken literally it reads Love is with me for you. Irish often puts a sentence together differently from English, so the literal reading rarely matches the meaning.

How to say it

Say it Taw graw ag-um dit, written the way an English speaker would read it.

When you’d say it

Irish does not say I love, it says love is with me for you. Mo ghrá thú, you are my love, is the warmer and older way to put it.
