Hi again,
My question is how to translate the phrase:
"Thinking makes me tired"
I tried translating it, but I got confused about causatives in Irish. Can you please explain to me how this works, at least in this case?!
Thanks a lot in advance. :-) |

Cuireann X tuirse orm. = Puts X tiredness on-me. = X makes me tired. (X can be anything, anyone) |

My first thought would be, "Cuireann sé tuirse orm smaoineamh."
-causitives.... hmm. I'll have to leave that to someone with better grammar skills.
-Maidhc. |

Could be also said "cuireann sé tuirse orm bheith ag smaoineamh". |

Thanks, and with no real connection to that question - a new question:
how do you pronounce the word "dearcadh" in the northern pronounciation? |

so what happens with the words ending in 'géilleadh' how do you pronounce this?
do you pronounce it GEILYU? or GEILU rather? |
