Irish language help

[Sorrento2014]

An Irish relative has built a beautiful house in rural Ireland and it's become known locally as 'the red brick house' which she loves. I would like to get a personalised house sign made for the family and Google is suggesting 'an teach brici dearga'

Does this sound right, any other suggestions please?

Many thanks

You'd tend to leave out that it's a brick house so it would most likely be "An Tí Dearg" (apologies for my dreadful spelling.

That's a lovely thing to do by the way

Thanks so much, she is very dear to me. So that would be something like 'the red house?' Looks lovely written-is that correct spelling you've suggested?

I'm not sure if it should be An Tí Dhearg or if the H in the Irish word for red is necessary. I'll check with my daughter and come back to you

That would be great thank you
😊

An teach dearg = the red house
An tí dearg = the red home
An tígh dearg = the red house

Mo tí dearg = my red home

Rua = auburn/ginger colour if that fits better than dearg (red)

You could try Dún Rua?

Thanks so much everyone, they all look beautiful!

I've just had a very entertaining chat with my daughter and she suggested this:

An Theach Dearg

There are two words for house/home
Teach (pronounced to rhyme with shock) and
Tí (pronounced tee).
When you put "An" (Irish for the) in front of the word for house it adds a h (we call it a sheabhú (pronounced shay vous) after the letter T.

Really straightforward 😆😆😆😆

Go with this. This poster knows what they're talking about 😉

Actually it is

An teach dhearg 😂. The séimhiú is on the red. I asked my kids.

So
An teach dhearg
Or An tí dhearg

Would work.

Thanks so much 😊

An Tigin Rua?
Sorry can't do fadas on my phone?

Is tigin little house?

Where is your relative's house?
Tigh is the word for house instead of teach in some parts of the country eg Redhouse a townland in Kilkenny is An Tigh Rua.

Does relative like Irish? Some Irish people don't. Are you sure they wouldn't prefer the sign in English?

There's no seimhiú in either teach or dearg .
An teach dearg

Séimhiú, sorry. Typical 🤦‍♀️

She definitely will love it, she's lived in UK for many years but Ireland has always been 'home.'

Thanks again everyone

That's okay so 😀
