or "roimhe an chéad chupán tae a ól dó" ?
but although it's right I wouldn't say it like that.

Not roimhe surely? Just roimh?

Oops. In Ulster we often say "roimhe" instead of roimh as a preposition (and often "aroimhe" instead of "roimhe" as an adverb).

But then in my sentence it should be ""roimhe an chéad chupán tae a ól dó" since it was meant to be standard Irish...

Yeah, it did kind of have to be standard for the application, but it's good to know the regional forms as well!

Thanks, all!
