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’m looking for verification on two things. From what I think I know, faoi cheangal translates to “bound” in english, as in two people that are tied together. I need to know:
A) Is this Irish gaelic or Scottish?
and
B) What is the proper pronunciation for this? If someone could spell it phonetically, that would be excellent.
Thank you to all that try to help.
