Usage notes
[edit]- Usage of this phrase is not uncontroversial. It is considered by many to be excessively formal and anachronistic, or an importation of English-language values foreign to Gaelic society. Some native speakers use it, but many use different ways of expressing politeness, such as indirect questions and formal vocabulary.
