Is the genitive used after "dóthain"? For example, would "Do you have enough heat?" be...
"An bhfuil do dhóthain teasa agat?"
...or is the nominative (teas) used? |

http://www.nualeargais.ie/gnag/subst2.htm#genitivverwend Is cosúil gurbh ea: quote:after quantities (see partitive genitive)
after nouns like mórán (much), beagán (little), neart (a bit), roinnt (some), dóthain (enough), breis (further), cuid (share) e.g. roinnt bainne = some milk
after adverbs like go leor (a lot, enough), níos mó (more) e.g. níos mó bainne = more milk

A Bhreacbáin, quote:Nach "plenty" an t-aistriú coitianta don fhocal "neart" as Béarla? Nach ceart a rá go mbainfeá triail as "neart" nuair is faoi nithe atá tú ag caint? Ba chóir dhuit "mórán" a úsáid nuair is faoi dhuine atá. |
