Firín (with a fada on the second 'i') means little man or men, also manikin or dwarf.
Ithimse means 'I eat' and is emphatic: implies that maybe you or he isn't eating, but I am. |

cén fáth : why? (What reason)
slan go foill : slán go fóill : goodbye for now
slainte : sláinte : health (or your health when used as a toast)
slan leat or leit : slán leat : goodbye (lit. safety with you on your way; the traditional answer is slán agat: safety stay with you)
failte : fáilte : welcome |
