Do you have a way of translating that, or do you actually speak gaelic?

"Tiocfaidh" is the future form of the irregular "to come" (-faidh is a future tense marker). "Ár" = our, "lá" = day.

8. You continue to impress, young man. |

Languages are the one field I tried and failed to master. I learned to read late, stuttered for years, and never managed to learn any language except English. (despite years of effort with 4 other languages)
I respect and envy people who are good with languages.
