Tip of the Week 37

When welcoming someone to a place, the basic expression is
'fàilte gu .'
 
e.g.
Fàilte gu Dùn Eideann Welcome to Edinburgh.
 
Generally, though, 'you' are included in the greeting, and this may be either:
 
'Fàilte romhaibh gu Dùn Eideann' A welcome before you to E.
 
or
 
'Fàilte oirbh gu Dùn Eideann' A welcome on you to E.
 
And, of course, there's always:
 
'Ceud mìle fàilte!' A hundred thousand welcomes!
 
More next time!
