Dear Colleagues,
Please, could you help me with this expression? I'd need a translation into SCOTTISH Gaelic, if any possible - would like to mark a special present for a special person with this line.
Had asked friends in Ireland for help, but their daughter is only just learning Gaelic at school and obviously, that's Irish Gaelic - also she wasn't very sure if it was correct => Cumhaidh Albain?. Unfortunately none of our family in Scotland speak/know Gaelic anymore... :-((
Plus, if you could give me a hint on the (somewhat) correct pronunciation, that would be just great!
Thank you so much and have a lovely week-end!
Cheers,
Ulrike

Cumha i ndiaidh na hAlban
This is Irish Gaeilge. I can confirm that Cumha is same in Scottish

Cumha = homesick. I ndiaidh = after. na hAlban is the genitive of 'an Albain' (Scotland) following the compound preposition 'i ndiaidh.

Note from asker:
| Thank you very much indeed! :-) And Cumha stands for "homesick" or "homesickness", right? Would you imagine the rest would be very different in Scottish Gaelic? Also, thanks for confirming the leading "h" with Alban is correct (not a typo, maybe)? Thank you! :-) |
| Fantastic! Thank you ever so much! :-) |
