Colin McCullough's Lesson in Gaelic

Samantha: Hello. Nil Gaeilge maith agam.
Colin: *Laughs and rubs Samantha’s arm* Sammy just admitted to not speaking Gaelic very well, but she’s a fast learner.
The first phrase I’ll teach you is:
Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh. Pronounced: La ale-lah pwad-rig son-ah jeev.
This means Happy St. Patrick’s Day. It’s plural, so you’d say this when you walk into a bar or a party on the 17th.
Next, and this is an important one…
Pionta Guinness, le do thoil. Pronounced: pyunta Guinness leh duh hull
This means, a pint of Guinness, please, and it’s the only way Kelly will serve you at O’Malley’s on St. Paddy’s Day.
Now we’ll let Sammy try one. Repeat after me, love.Tabhair 'om póg, is Éireannach mé
Samantha: *Repeats phrase slowly* “ TOO-irr um pogue, iss AY-ron-ock may” Colin: Very good! *Kisses Sammy* Sammy just said, “Kiss me I’m Irish.”
And finally, you may hear this one a lot this March.
Sláinte! Pronounced: Sloyn-cheh! Which means, Cheers!
So, let me wish all of you a Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh. *Holds up Guinness in a toasting gesture* Sláinte! *Turns to Sammy* Now… Tabhair 'om póg, is Éireannach mé. *Leans in and kisses his wife passionately*
Spend more time with Colin & Sammy in Sacred Waters!
