Re: How to say
Hi Faye,
do you mean “Mull of Kintyre”, as in the song by the musical group Wings? If so, a mull is a treeless promontory, and Kintyre is the name of a peninsula in southwestern Scotland. The English name comes from Scottish Gaelic “Maol Chinn Tìre”; “maol” is a bare (or bald) object, and “chinn tìre” is the genitive form of “ceann tìre”, meaning “headland”. Its Irish name, “Maol Chinn Tíre”, is nearly the same as the Scottish Gaelic name, and has the same meaning.
The initial greeting to someone with “Hello” is “Dia duit” (to one person) or “Dia daoibh” (to more than one person). (Unlike English, the typical response to that initial greeting is not an exact repetition of that greeting.) The shortest version of “How are you?” is “Conas atá tú?” (to one person) or “Conas atá sibh?” (to more than one person).
