Could someone please help me with a word? I just finished a book by Roddy Doyle, and while I could figure out most of the Irish words he uses, I didn't understand this one and can't find it in the online dictionaries:
Maithú
GRMA!

Looks like a contraction of "maith thú" which loosely translates as "good for you!" |

Oh! That's what I thought "should" be in the dialogue when I was reading it - but of course, wasn't sure. Again, GRMA!
