[color:"pink"] Ciamar a tha sibh? [/color] that's How Are You in scottish gaelic!

yes, since i don't want to tour scotland without all of u, i might as well take up some gaelic class.

note: Gaelic uses more than one word for 'you'. Sibh is the polite word for 'you' - to be used with strangers, those older than yourself and people in authority. It is also used when talking to more than one person, or groups of people.
Note also that, if you want to greet someone very casually, you can just say hallo! or hai! (pronunced very much like the English hello or hi).

If you are talking to a child, a close friend, or a member of the family of about your own age, you use a different form of the word you. This time use thu. So, to ask a child or friend how they are, you say: [color:"pink"] ciamar a tha thu? [/color]

Remember that thu only applies when you are talking to one person, whether a child, teenager or friend: if you are talking to a group of children or friends, you must use the plural form: sibh.

hey i speak one sentence of gaelic! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
