How to say "Good night" in Irish
Here, “oíche” has the meaning of “night” and “maith” means “good”. They come together to form the phrase “oíche mhaith”.
You can simply say “oíche mhaith” or you can add “duit/daoibh” to address either one or many people. Therefore, “oíche mhaith duit” is “good night to you” and “oíche mhaith daoibh” is “good night to you (all)”.
