No, no, no!

The correct answer is to hand her a glass of Glyva and say slainte mhath!

almost there ..well done

....'Tha mi gu math, tapadh leibh' is the answer to ..'Ciamar a tha sibh?'
You say sibh when talking to a stranger or someone of authority

'Ciamar a tha thu?' (How are you?) ....when talking to a friend or someone of a similiar age or younger...
'Tha mi gu math, tapadh leat' (I am well, thank you).....is the right answer

Sir Myghin wrote:i am fine and you schue? lol

that is another way of answering

....but it was meant to be answered in gaelic Myghin

answering the question with a question.....'Ciamar a tha thu fh?in?'...How are you? (literally: How are you yourself?)

I have no idea how you would phonetically pronounce that

.....but it could be anything considering we pronounce Milngavie as Milguy
