* Wisdom:
* Eagna (eagna): This is probably the closest and most common translation for general wisdom. It implies practical knowledge and understanding gained through experience.
* Ciall (ciall): This translates more to "sense," "understanding," or "meaning." It can imply wisdom, but often in a more practical or everyday context.
* Créacht (créacht): This word refers to the wisdom gained from hardship and suffering, almost a bitter wisdom.
* Truth:
* Fírinne (fírinne): This is the most direct translation for truth, encompassing moral and factual truth.
* Bás (bás): Interestingly, in certain contexts, "bás" (death) can symbolize the unveiling of truth, as death reveals the ultimate reality. This is a much more poetic and nuanced use.
* Modest:
* Toighteasach (toighteasach): This translates to modest in the sense of being humble and unassuming.
* Beag (beag): This means "small" or "little," and can be used to describe someone who is modest in their claims or behavior, almost to the point of self-deprecation.
* Íseal (íseal): This means "low" or "humble," and can be used similarly to *beag* to describe a modest person.
The best choice will depend on the specific context in which you're using these words. For general use, *eagna*, *fírinne*, and *toighteasach* are safe bets.
