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 wee bit I know is due to threads we had on the previous group. But, I always check the English/Irish dictionary Robert suggested us (for both my English and Irish are very poor =D ).
Thanks for the good wishes. I hope we both can do great in our academic lives, ;)

Go dté tú slán - May you go safely.
