Cead Mile Failte

A traditional Irish Gaelic greeting meaning "A Hundred Thousand Welcomes"

Cead- Hundred
Mile- Thousand
Failte- Welcome(s)

Something you might see on a sign at an airport when arriving in Ireland

Tom went to answer the knock at the door and hollered "Cead mile failte!" as he answered it and saw his family from over in the states.

cead mile failte

Literally means a hundred thousand welcomes...

Used as... "Hello", but only tourists in ireland use it or people who are talking to Irish people... Irish people don't actually use it themselves...
