How to say "How Are You?" in Irish

When asking someone “How are you?” in Irish, we can say “Conas atá tú?”. The response then, might be “Tá mé go maith” for “I’m well” or “níl mé go maith” for “I’m unwell”. If you’re just feeling okay, then you might wish to say “Táim cuíosach”, or “Tá mé ceart go leor”. 

In addition to the phrase “Conas atá tú?” you will also hear “Caidé mar atá tú?” or “Cén chaoi a bhfuil tú?”. All of these phrases mean “How are you?” and are all perfectly acceptable, just showing little differences between the dialects of the Irish language.
