In English we say “Dear Mr./Ms./Mrs./Dr.” because we’re conditioned to think of people in terms of gender or status. In Irish we say “A chara” because interactions, even with strangers, are rooted in the assumption of friendship. Gaeilge > Béarla

"Many haws, many sloes, many cold toes!" Old country wisdom says that an abundance of hawthorn berries and sloes in autumn is a sure sign of a cold winter to come. Have you seen a plentiful crop of haws and sloes in the hedgerows near you? #WednesdayWisdom #nature #folklore
