Dia duit to all my precious people!!

Dia duit (dee-ah gwit) is the traditional and common greeting among Irish nationals who speak Gaelic and it translates as “may God be with you”.  This phrase is used in much the same way as the English word “hello”.  Traveling the West Coast of Ireland for the past week, we heard that phrase time and again as we meandered in and out of shops, pubs, and country festivals.   continue reading »
