Just wanted to share that in Donegal (Gleann Fhinne) when someone says, "Go raibh mile maith agat", a proper
answer is "Go ndheanaigh mhaith duit". (pron: Go yahnee why ditch) I don't know if I've spelled
it properly, but often when someone says "Thanks" you feel that you should say something back
and this is what you say! I don't know enough Irish yet but I presume it is some subjunctive form of the verb.

Hi, Faber. I found that phrase in Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla (FGB):

Go ndéana a mhaith duit "You're welcome (in reply to thanks)"

A literal translation? Perhaps: "May the good of it be done to you." or "May you benefit from it."

Also, 'tá fáilte romhat' = you are welcome
or 'ná habair é' = don't mention it.

Sometimes in Conamara we also say -

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

Go raibh maith agaibh!

Go ndéana a mhaith duit, a Fhéabair.

A Bhreandán, is daoine greannmhar tú!

Not to mention Níl a bhuíochas ort. I think the most common form I've heard from Donegal speakers vvould be Go raibh maith agat féin, and ''Thanks yourself'' is very commonly used vvhen speaking English.

VVelcome, Errigal. (Errigal is having keyboard trouble, hence the vv for w, etc.)

Seriously, Errigal, if we go to the trouble of getting a whole new forum, the least you could do is get a new keyboard!
