Say Hello in Irish
Hello = Dia Dhuit
Dia Dhuit is a very common way of saying Hello in Irish. Literally, it means something like “God to you”.
Pronounce it something like this: jee-ah ghwit (that’s a throaty gh).
How are you? = Conas atá tú?
- Say it like this: cun-us ah-taw too.
- This is one way of saying it, there are also other ways such as Caidé mar atá tú?.
Now that you have the translation…

I’ve been told the irish equivalent of “raining cats and dogs is “ta se ag caitheamh sceanna greasai” ..what does Sceanna greasai (with a fada over the “i”) mean?
