Greetings and salutations as Gaeilge

Dia dhuit ar maidin! God be with you this morning!

Let's start a thread consisting of greetings and salutations. Post one greeting and one salutation as Gaeilge (in Irish) and its literal translation.

I will use what we get to create a new set on Quizlet.

Is mise le meas, (I am respectfully / sincerely)
Robert

the accent is called a fada and it alters the sound and sometimes tense. Without an example, I cannot discern difference off the top of my head.

Hey, check it out--soemthings are coming back! HA!

Here's another one that may be used as a salutation:
Go dté tú slán - May you go safely.

or as it is put in the song Siúil a rún - Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán. - And may you go safely my darling. (pron. iss guh jay too muh vworneen slawn)
