Never know which is correct, Dia Dhuit or Dia duit....I would think that "dhuit" would be correct as one would be addressing someone. And.. is this pronounced as "dwitch" or "gwitch'? ...and why? Go raibh maith agat. Jeannette |

Jeannett, Most people say Dia dhuit but actually the correct one is Dia duit. Bernadette. |

A Jeanette a chara, I think it has to do with the process of orthographic standardisation of the Irish language. In simple terms, 'Dia duit' is grammatically correct but the traditional pronunciation is closer to "Dia dhuit'. This, I believe, is another example of how the 'standardisation' of Irish to An Caighdeán Oifigiúil (The Official Standard) has revealed disparities betwen the habitual pronunciation of words and phrases and the new 'aceptable' spelling of said words and phrases. Mise le meas, Créag 'Fintan' Batty |

Lords Prayer Ár nAthair atá ar neamh, Go naofar d'ainm Go dtaga do ríocht Go ndéantar do thoil ar an talamh Mar a dhéantar ar neamh. Ár n-arán laethúil tabhair dúinn inniu Agus maith dúinn ár bhfiacha Mar a mhaithimidne dár bhféichiúnaithe féin Agus ná lig sinn i gcathú ach saor sinn ó olc Óir is leatsa an ríocht agus an chumhacht agus an ghlóir Trí shaol na saol Hail Mary Sé do bheatha, a Mhuire, atá lán de ghrásta, tá an Tiarna leat. Is beannaithe thú idir mná agus is beannaithe toradh do bhroinne, Íosa. A Naomh-Mhuire, a Mháthair Dé, guigh orainn na peacaigh, anois, agus ar uair ár mbáis. Aimen. |
