Is Siocháin the same as peace in Gaelic?

Hi Jp,

yep it is peace.

Usually "Is" indicates a permanent state-but you may use it for states that can change slowly, or after a time, or for states that have been attained.

síocháin (shee-uckh-awn) = peace

:wink:

I also heard that it means "peace with God" is that true or just "peace"?

Dear JP,

For "Peace with God" just add the words le Dia.

I just got back from a trip and I met a young Irish lad who was working at the hotel. He stated he was from the Dublin area. I thought I practice my Gaelic (all of one word) and told him "Siochain". I told him that it meant peace and ask him if he agreed. He stated no, that it meant "how's it going". I then wrote it on a piece of paper and he still said that it meant "how's it going". Who is right?

I see in this thread that Fionn is back amongst us.

Welcome back! We've missed you.
Tá mé ag foghlaim i gcónaí. With translations, it is best to wait for someone more adept than I to confirm.
