In my Irish language class this morning we learnt some of the abbreviations used in texts messages in Irish.
Here are a few of them:
grma = go raibh maith agat (thank you)
cgl = ceart go leor (ok)
n8 = anocht (tonight)
7n = seachtain (week)
R y leat = ar mhaith leat (do you want)
a #ce = a thaisce (my darling/dear)
9l = níl (not/no)
sgf = slán go fóill (goodbye)
There are some more here.
I’m not a big fan of such abbreviations in Irish, English or other languages, but do quite like the inventiveness of them.
