Very basic question here...
Regarding: Cá as tú? --> Where are you from?
Is this ever expressed as "Cad as tú?" or "Cad as duit?"
Are those dialectical or simply a mis-hearing on my part? |

Cá as tú? is Donegal Irish.
Cad as tú or Cad as duit are Munster Irish.

Interesting! Would each of you mind telling us what dialect and/or specific area within a dialect you are speaking of? |
