Welcome from West Paducah, KY.

Being new myself I have to ask what does Slainte mean and how do you say it.

We on the Isle of Harris say "Slainte" when you have a glass in your hand and you are toasting the health of each one you are with, To say it "slan-te", you do not pronounce the i,

Hello Kilted Reverend!

Slainte means cheers. Pronunciation varies. In Munster it is sloyta. In Ulster, slaan-che. In Connacht, slon-tche.
