Irish: gra

[Paulfromitaly]

What does "gra" exactly mean in Irish?

 

[A90Six]

"Grá" in gaelic means: love, darling, sweetheart. Although I am not sure you should be asking this question in this "English Only" forum.

Yes - I'll move this to the other languages forum.

Hey Paulfromitaly,

grá means love. it can be spelled grádh as well.
For example...

Táim i ngrá leat - I´m in love with you/I love you
Is é mo ghrá - He is my love
Mo ghrá - My love (as in petname)

It´s used in Irish English as well in the sense that you can say:
I´ve no gra for the way he´s acting ie, no respect, faith etc
or I have a little gra for her ie, I fancy her.

Hope that clears it up for you.
