A stór

My darling · Ah stohr

A stór means My darling, and is said Ah stohr.

Word for word

Taken literally it reads O treasure. Irish often puts a sentence together differently from English, so the literal reading rarely matches the meaning.

How to say it

Say it Ah stohr, written the way an English speaker would read it.

When you’d say it

Stór is a store or a treasure, and the a in front is the vocative, the form Irish uses when speaking directly to somebody. A stóirín is the smaller, fonder version.
