• Is maith liom taiscéaladh domhan aisteach nua.
• Is maith liom cuardach saol nua.
• Is maith liom dul go dána go háiteanna atá ní fhaca aon duine sula.
• Is maith liom mná ó gach cine, daonna agus thar.
• Ní maith liom an Phríomhtreoir.

Le meas …. James Tiberius Kirk

Translation and notes

Hello! I will tell you a couple things about myself.

I am the captain of the StarShip Enterprise. [Long réaltaí “ship of stars.” (loinge is the genitive) I made this up. The closest my dictionaries had was spásárthach
“spacecraft,” which seems really inadequate.]

• I like exploring strange new worlds. [Domhan “world” follows the verbal noun taiscéaladh, so we actually have a genitive plural here,
  which happens, as a “weak plural” to be the same as the nominative singular. A similar process affects the adjective”aisteach “strange.”]
• I like searching for new life.
• I like going boldly to places that no one has seen been before. [“go where no man has gone before” is apparently tricky to render in Irish.]
• I like women of every race, human and beyond.
• I do not like the Prime Directive

Respectfully …. James Tiberius Kirk
