I would like to include some Irish salutations in the openings and closings of letters, cards and emails I send. What are the Irish equivalents of: Dear ... Hello Good Day Yours truly Best regards Farewell God Bless Thank you What are the phrases typically used in Irish for salutations and their English translations? These might get me to thinking about new ways to open and close correspondence in English too. Thank you in advance. -- John |

Dear ... A ... chaoin Hello Dia dhuit! Good Day Mora dhuit Yours truly is mise Best regards beir beannacht Farewell Slán God Bless Rath Dé ort Thank you Go raibh maith agat /agaibh (pl.) Note that these are not always literal translations. Does anybody know how to stop the board swallowing spaces? I can't seem to format this message usefully! |

Of course, the best-known Irish salutation is "Pog mo thoin..." :) |
