I think it is: cairde, if used as a stand alone word. It it is used in a sentence, it may change. Wait to confirmation/corrections. Sass Sassy Lassie Gorm Abú Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste, ná Bearla cliste.

cairde, yes. If it's used along with other words, there may be some extra letters, just as with any Irish word (e.g. mo chairde).
