Wow, great answer from Kida.

My family lost the Gaelic several generations ago except this phrase (spelled fun-etically)

Kum a rashun du hak-mama, kum a rashun paynia?

"Good morning to you, how are you this morning?"

An Irish woman I know knew what I said, so I was most impressed about that. However, I in turn was able to identify the Hail Mary she said in Irish, mostly by rhythm and a good guess about what she would've learned in school.
