1. aushändigen
2. overhandigen
3. entregar
4. lliurar
5. remettre
6. estyn
7. toirbhir
8. 건네다

Notes: See, this is why I have such a bias toward nouns. Trying to find exact equivalents was very difficult and I'm still not sure of a lot of the choices.

Example sentences: "He handed me it."

1. Er hat's mir ausgehändigt.
2. Hij overhandigde 't me.
3. Me lo entregó.
4. Me'l va lliurar.
5. Il me l'a remis.
6. Fe estynodd e fe i mi.
7. Do thoirbhir sé dhom é.
8. 내게 건넸어요.
9. 他遞給我.

Yeah. My first guess would probably have been "aushändigen", which is subtly different from "übergeben" or plain "geben".

See, I consulted three dictionaries, and none of them listed that as an alternative! I'm adding it in, though.

My first thought for "he handed it to me" is thug sé dom de lámh é. I don't think toirbhir is incorrect, per se, but it does occupy a higher register than I imagine you want. The only time I've seen toirbhir used is in the name Ord na Toirbhirte, the Presentation Order of nuns. So, when I read your sample sentence I immediately interpreted it as God bestowing something upon you.

I was SO confused about this until you put it in a sentence. I had no idea remettre a qqn was how you said to hand :O

Sweeet. Stick with verbs.
