recently there has been an effort on my behalf to add Irish words into my conversations and I was wondering if i could ask ye the scholary to tell me, a few of your favourite (and for a start simple) sayings as gaeilge.
maíth dhúit, |

My favourite: from Daithí Ó Sé who does the weather on TG4:
"Fan go bhfeicimid". , with plenty emphasis on the first word. |

I use arís, le do thoil quite a bit, as I've some hearing difficulties. But that's also a handy phrase for beginners to know. Oftentimes there's a bit of a mental "lag time" for learners where they're taking in the words and mentally processing them, but not as quickly as their conversant is supplying them.

I'm fond of the phrase that I've heard:
"Fan a wee bómaite."
Gach beannacht,
