This seems stupidly simple, but it's not addressed in my books and I've learned not to make any assumptions about this language. How do you say "I'm doing this/that."? I know "I'm doing it." is "Tá mé dá dhéanamh." Do you just stick a "seo/sin" on the end of it: "Tá mé dá dhéanamh sin."? Ceist eile. I know how to say "this morning" (maidin inniu), "tonight" (anocht), "this year" (imbliana). How do you say "this week" and "this month"?

I'd say
Tá seo (d)á dhéanamh agam

I don't know any shorthand for this week (an tseachtain seo) and this month (an mí seo).

The week : An tseachtain

The month : An mhí

That week : An tseachtain sin

That month : An mhí sin

This week : An tseachtain seo

This seo : An mhí seo


I'm doing that : Táim á dhéanamh sin

I'm doing this : Táim á dhéanamh seo


Rith sé ar nós na gaoithe
He ran like the wind

Rith sé ar mo nós-sa
He ran like me

Rith sé ar a nós-san
He ran like him

Rith sé ar a nós-san sin
He ran like that


an ghaoth -> na gaoithe
an fear -> an fhir
mé -> mo
é -> a
é sin -> a _____ sin

You can think of: mo, do, a as the Tuiseal Ginideach of mé, thú, é, í It's just that they go before the word.

So, "a" is the genitive case of the objective case
of sí?

He ran like "her." --> Rith sé ar a nós-san.

As he and Jane passed the finishing line, we realized that as their mother said, he really did run like her.

Rith sé ar a nós.


As he passed the finishing line, he ran like her.

Rith sé ar a nós-sa.

I've explained in another thread how to conjugate the nouns.


Hope that helps.
