Gaelic: Is math na bheil crioch mhath aige

Is math na bheil crioch mhath aige

Could anyone translate this Gaelic for me please- I can get a few words, but the whole lot is beyond me!

Thanks.

Is math na bheil crìoch mhath aige

Hi gorgster,
I'm sure you know already, but this is in Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) rather that Gaeilge (Irish Gaelic).
I still be happy to have a crack at making some sense of it, but a little more context may be helpful.
Cheers!

Doesn't look quite right. I would suggest one of the following:

Is math gu bheil crìoch mhath aige. "Good thing it has a good ending."
Is math nach eil crìoch mhath aige. "Good thing it doesn't have a good ending."
​

Do either of these make sense in the context?

Hi,

Thanks to both of you for your efforts- I was sure it's Scottish, not Irish Gaelic, but again it could be a bit mixed up. I didn't get it in much context- it was a reply to an English comment of mine, which was:

Tant pis… all’s well that ends well.

So maybe it's a Gaelic translation of that?!

I suspected as much, but then maybe it should be:

Is math na tha crìoch mhath aige. "All that has a good ending is good"
​

But I'm really not sure about that. Another way to say it would be:

Tha gach nì gu math a chrìochnaicheas gu math.​
