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
