Dia duit (dee-ya gwit). This is how to open a conversation in Irish and means hello. Literally, the phrase translates to “god to you”, reflecting the influence that Christianity has had on the people of Ireland. If you are greeting multiple people, the last word duit would change to daoibh (deev)

ive always been drawn to and fascinated by other cultures and peoples way of seeking, acknowledging and connecting to our Divine Creator.
Celtic is one of my favorite cultures to translate.

does anyone else have a positive spiritual phrase or greeting from another language or culture they'd like to share?
