Answer

The most general word for "argue" in Irish is "argóint", which more or less corresponds to English "arguing":

Argóint le duine faoi rud = To argue with someone about something

"Bhí mé ag argóint leis faoin áit ar cheannaigh sí an leabhar"

Another word you could use, perhaps if the argument is a bit more intellectual, is "díospóireacht", which can also mean "discussing, debating".

"Bhí mé ag díospóireacht leis faoi cé acu scannán a bhféachfaimis air anocht"

Yet another word is "sáraíocht" = "contending, disputing, arguing", which comes from the verb "sáraigh" = "to overcome, surpass". It gives an idea of each party in turn getting one up on the other, but it's used slightly differently than the other two words:

"Bhí siad ag sáraíocht ar a chéile faoi rud".
