"You are but an engineer."

Translation: Níl ionat ach innealtóir.

[DominicCol12]

Sounds a bit poetic to me.Normal English speech would be "You are only an engineer"

[daniel.p.burke]

I did nil ionaibh ach and they said it was wrong.

[scilling]

Ionaibh would make more sense with innealtóirí.

[gruamaire]

níl ach innealtóir ionat freisin?

[SatharnPHL]

b'fhéidir - má tá innealtóir ite agat.

[daniel.p.burke]

Thanks!

[arrikis1]

i dont understand why it uses Nil instead of Ni. isn't this a classification?

[scilling]

This idiom only uses níl + i prepositional pronoun + ach.
