Irish thank-you lines
Short Irish ways to say thanks, from a single phrase to a proverb. Copy one into a card or send it as a free card.
We'd say what you're thanking them for in one sentence first, then let the line close the card.
Go raibh maith agat.
Thank you.
Go raibh míle maith agat.
Thank you very much (literally, a thousand thanks to you).
Go raibh céad maith agat.
A hundred thanks to you.
Buíochas ó chroí.
Heartfelt thanks (literally, thanks from the heart).
Mo mhíle buíochas leat.
A thousand thanks to you.
Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine.
People live in each other's shelter (we depend on one another).
Ní lúide an trócaire a roinnt.
Charity is not diminished by being shared.
There are good ships and wood ships, ships that sail the sea, but the best ships are friendships, may they always be.
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
