How do you say hello in Ireland?

Answer 1

I was born in Ireland and live here, and not one person speaks it. Children only have to learn Irish in school as a second language. I personally hate it. Anyway, Hello is Dia Duit. Pronounced, Dee-a-gwit,

Answer 2

We speak English here, generally, so "Hello", "Hi", "How are you?" etc. would all be commonly used. There are a few places where Irish is the first language and there the greeting would be Dia dhuit (dee-a gh-witch [the 'gh' as in ghost] would be a close pronunciation). This translates as "God be with you". The 'correct' response is "Dia is Mhuire dhuit", (God and Mary be with you.)

Answer 3

English is the main language spoken there, so you would just say hello.

In the Irish language you could say:

• Dia duit! Conas atá tú? (speaking to one person).
• Dia dhaoibh! Conas atá tú? (speaking to more than one person). This means "Good day, how are you?"
