The Irish for goodbye is slán. The person leaving the company uses agat and the person staying behind uses leat. In the following conversation, Éanna is staying in his office and Éilís is going out the door.
Éanna: Slán leat, a Éilís. Feicfidh mé amárach tú. Goodbye, Éilís. I’ll see you tomorrow.Bonnleibheal_1/Aonad_1/EU11_02.mp3 Éilís: Slán agat, a Éanna. Tóg go bog é! Goodbye, Éanna. Take it easy!Bonnleibheal_1/Aonad_1/EU11_03.mp3
If you can’t remember whether to use leat or agat, a good avoidance strategy is to use go fóill (for now) instead!
