Difference in pronunciation should follow certain rules, eg:
Machine could be -
Mac-hin-e(sounds like tinny) or Mac-hine(sounds like wine) or as it is generally known Ma-sheen.
When it comes out sounding like something completly different then where did the original translation go wrong?

is maith sin, which literally means,
that's great
