Is tht a kinda Aussie Gaelic saying?

There are very few Gaelic speakers on here - and they visit infrequently. I hope it's not for a tattoo, as you might not be given the correct translation... and it take a brave man/woman to wander about with words on their body which they do not understand and cannot really KNOW are what they hope it says!

No worries = "Gun Dragh" (literally "without bother")

p.s. I don't visit that infrequently Polwarth.

Well, fairly infrequently recently.

I second the tattoo comment. What kind of idiot asks on the internet for flip's sake?

Have a look at the most recent translation requests on here.

I rest my case.

Na abair e

Spanish "chau" is not equivalent to Italian "ciao" as the Spanish word is not used to greet someone. In a similar way, there is no Gaelic equivalent for "no worries" (as opposed to "don't worry", which has a Gaelic equivalent). Likewise, there's no Gaelic equivalent for "howdy" or "how d' you do" (as opposed to "how are you", which has a Gaelic equivalent).

Similarly, English has no equivalent to "na gabh dragh" (as opposed to "na biodh dragh ort") or "abair gu bheil" (as opposed to "abair e" or "tha gu dearbh").
