How would you say this in Irish...?
the phrase "No, thank you"
I know how to say no and thank you, but is there a more common expression or phrase that means the same thing? I don't really know Irish very much, so I'm looking for better insight.

'no' depends entirely on what the verb was in the question - in reply, you negate that verb e.g. an bhuil...? nil ; am beir féin ag dul......? ní bhead; an bhfuairis aon scéal.....? ní bhfuaireas; ná cloiseann tú an gleo? ní chloisim. etc etc ní is just a negator, it is not actually the semantic equivalent of the simple English 'no'.
thank you is :gu raibh maith agat! though I have heard people saying buíochas.

If offered food or a drink, you decline by simply saying: 'NÃ bheidh, go raibh maith agat'.

"No, thank you" in Irish Is "Nior mhaith, go raibh maith agat" (Literally "Don't want, thank you).
Depending upon the accent of the speaker , it may sound like either "Nyeer wah, guh ruh mah uh-gut" or "Nyeer wai, goh ruh mai ah-gut."
