Looking for salutation as Gaeilge

trad

I'm looking for a greeting or salutation to use when sending group emails.

I have used A Chara and Mise le meas at the ending but it's very civil service type Irish.

I'd like the salutation to be non religious (Dia is Mhuire duit)

Any suggestions? the group are traditional musicians.

Beir bua.
Ádh mór oraibh.

Sonas ort/Sonas oraibh is the one I use

Conas atá sibh,

Cé caoi a bhfuil sibh / tú? How are ye / you?. Hmmm, it sounds better than it looks when typed.

Conas atá ag éirí leat/libh?
How are you/ye getting on?

Céard 'tá ar siúl?
What's up

Sonas ort/oraibh is a signing off one. Means 'best of luck' type thing.

....and sonas ort is used in Donegal as an alternative to "sláinte"

A chara is not formal/civil service Irish, although Mise le meas would be. Something like A Dhuine Uasail would be formal Irish in the manner of a greeting.

Thanks for all the replies.

I thought we used A Chara in my days of state employment about 30 years ago.

Maybe you're right, but I always associated it with informality, especially when you consider that you're addressing the person as my friend/dear friend and not as Sir/Madam.

It was 30 years ago ao I could be well mistaken. Thanks for the interest.
