Mo ghrá thú

You are my love · Muh graw hoo

Mo ghrá thú means You are my love, and is said Muh graw hoo.

Word for word

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

How to say it

Say it Muh graw hoo, written the way an English speaker would read it.

When you’d say it

No verb at all, which is how Irish says the things it means most. This is the phrase in the old love songs.
