Tá sé leadránach - it is boring
Táim bréan de - I am bored/fed up with it
Táim dubh dóite leis - I am really fed up with it

These are the ways I can think of to be fed up with things, but how do you just say, 'I am bored'?

By the way, this is not for an Irish Gaelic tattoo to reflect the status of my life.....

You can say "tá leadrán orm".

I never knew that! Grma! Is that in common usage? Are there other ways that are regularly used out there?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: , I never heard that expression- I know Cian means sorrow, ancient or long distant but never boring- it might just be fitting! I'm sure my mother will be delighted :LOL:
