How to say "Good Luck!" in Irish
When wishing someone good luck or best of luck in Irish, we say “Go n-éirí leat”. In this phrase, “go n-éirí” has the meaning of “will succeed” and “leat” in this instance represents the person you are wishing success to. So, “go n-éirí leat” translates to “may you succeed” and in this context means “best of luck to you”.
If you wanted to wish good luck to a group fo people you’d simply change the phrase to “Go n-éirí libh”, meaning “may you (all) succeed”. Another way of saying this you may encounter is “Ádh mór ort/oraibh”.
