Word for word

Taken literally it reads May you live your new life. Irish often puts a sentence together differently from English, so the literal reading rarely matches the meaning.

How to say it

Say it Guh mor-eh shiv wur sayl noo-ah, written the way an English speaker would read it.

When you’d say it

The traditional thing to say to a newly married couple, and still what goes inside an Irish wedding card. To one person, go maire tú.
