Hope I'm not too late with this.
Marcán (Mark-awn) is from the Irish word for 'steed' - marc. In the early historical period, the name was more frequently found in the south of Ireland. Marcán mac Cennétig (Marcan Kennedy - died 1010) was brother of Brian Boru and abbot of Killaloe,Tuamgraney and Emly. There was a St Marcán of Clonenagh whose feast-day is 21 October.

Please, help me to translate phrases which I got from my irish friend:
conas ata tu
ta me go maith buichas le dia
conán ´o duill is ainm dom
pog mi thón
By Daryl on Tuesday, July 3, 2001 - 05:59 pm:
How are you?
I am fine by the grace of God.
The next one I might be wrong on but:
What is your name
The final one is a bit vulgar:
Kiss my arse
(Acc, forgive if I offend in translating)
By Pangur on Tuesday, July 3, 2001 - 10:05 pm:
Buichas le Dia translates as Thanks be to God. Actually this spelling of 'buichas' is incorrect---an 'a' would not come after the consanent when an 'i' was before the consant. A+O; E+I. I forget where 'U' comes in; depends if it is a slender or broad vowel. It may be Buiochas, but that doesn't look correct either.
Anyway, as a form of thanks, 'buichas' (sic)is only used when referring to God. To thank another person, the phrase is 'Go raibh maith agat'( Plu 'agaibh' )literally, 'May good be with you.' I like the translation of Daryl above, 'by the grace of God@. A more poetic way.
And of course 'Pog mo thon' is from where the musicians 'The Pogues' got their name. Talk of thumbing at society!! And the laugh is that a lot of people don't know!!!

Have you tried this search engine yet Guest?

I always find it useful when I am trying to find a translation online.
My best guess for the word 'life' would probably be 'beatha' in Irish and Scottish, and bioys in Manx. Beatha implies life as existence. Beo is something living or alive.
As far as pronunciation of beatha, I am not a native speaker and have hardly a drop of the language myself, but I have seen it as pronounced bahhah. I pronounce it with a very slight and almost silent 'y' sound(as in yes), tagged onto the b, which makes it look more like byahha, but as I said, I am not a native speaker.
ceol agus beatha? does that sound right?

Translate this:
mo chroi fuiliu, mo anam deoir. Ta'm caillte gan a chara!
By Boyo on Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 10:39 pm:
Guest: I make it to be "My heart is empty,my soul is torn,I am lost without a friend." I have taken fuiliu to really be folamh (empty). "mo anam deoir"
could also translate to "my soul is crying" as deoir translates to tear. I'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong *G*.
