Fad saoil duit

Long life to you.

Long life to you, straight from the dictionary. Printed there with an exclamation mark, a wish called out rather than written. Choose it for the good-news wall.

About this saying

Ó Dónaill prints it with an exclamation mark (a wish called out, not written) and pairs it in the same entry with a fuller form wishing long life and lasting health together. It belongs to the same family as the century toast Go maire tú an céad: Irish good wishes measure themselves in years.
