"Hail Satan" is 'Sé do bheatha, a Shátain

Pronounced:

Shay-duh-va-ha ah HAW-thin.

:oops: lol, yes I know me Irish is still weak, I've been learning what I can from different sites. I got the "Dia dhuit" from this site and another "Dia duit" from a celtic harpist. I'm not sure I know what lentation is, but I have a pretty good clue. I know it involves different spelling and gives scottish people fits. Or atleast thats what I've been told. lol I did a search and found a topic from last year, someone wanting a name for a dog named Satan and it was "Sátan", and in a reply to my topic it was "Shátain". Is that a totally different spelling, or lentation at work? Yes I really want to learn all about Gaeilge, so that one day I can leave this barbaric english tongue far behind. :lol: Thanks again.

The different spelling is due to how the word is used in the sentence. In this case, it's in the vocative, which lenites the first letter and usually slenderizes the last syllable of masculine names. For example, "Seán" becomes "Sheáin" in the vocative.
