Irish[edit]
Phrase[edit]
- bon voyage (addressed to one person)
Usage notes[edit]
- Literally “May the road [i.e. the journey] be successful for you”. Popularly mistranslated as "May the road rise to meet you" due to a confusion of the idiom éirigh le (“be successful for”) with éirigh (“rise”). Used to wish good luck to someone.
Synonyms[edit]
- go n-éirí an bóthar libh (addressed to two or more people)
