How to say "hello" and other such things in Gaelic
Hey! I speak English, but I need help getting started on learning to speak Gaelic. If anyone can help me with just the basics (hello, how are you, etc.) please let me know.
Thanks!

Re:How to say
I'm a sixteen year old Irish guy, effectively fluent in the language; I can teach you as much as you want.

Re:Re:How to say
Jonathan, since you speek irish Gaelick, would you mind helping out a sixteen year old girl with it? I've always wanted to learn the language, but never got the chance to. I am very willing to learn.
Please reply back.

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).
