Maith thú!
Well done! · Moh hoo
Maith thú! means Well done!, and is said Moh hoo.
Word for word
Taken literally it reads Good you. Irish often puts a sentence together differently from English, so the literal reading rarely matches the meaning.
How to say it
Say it Moh hoo, written the way an English speaker would read it.
When you’d say it
Two words, endless use. It is what a teacher says over a copybook and what the sideline shouts at a match.
