I know that in the analytical forms of tá emphasis is easy to express by tweaking pronouns, e.g. instead of "tá mé" you say "tá mise" or analogously "tá tusa" etc. However, what tricks me - if you use traditional synthetic forms of Munster ("táim, táir, táimid, táid") - what forms do arrive at for emphasis? might it be "táimse, táirse, táidse"? or just "táim mise" or smth else? any ideas? |

Yeah that's it: táimse, táirse, táimidne, táidsean... You can't say * táim mise, because in "táim" you already have the "mé" pronoun. |

Baochas, a Lughaidh! Can you comment why táimidne and táidsean. Any rule how you choose emphasizing "appendix"? |

Easiest to learn posession first: using the word "bád" mo bhádsa do bhádsa a bhádsan a bádsa ár mbádna bhur mbádsa a mbádsan These endings are used elsewhere: mise tuse eisean ( seisean ) ise ( sise ) muidne / sinne sibhse iadsan (siadsan) liomsa leatsa leis-sean léise* linn-ne* libhse leosan *Not sure of these spellings Basically the endings are as follows: me: sa / se you: sa / se him: san / sean her: sa / se us: na / ne yous: sa / se them: san / sean Be careful of two "s" running together: mo sholas-sa Is leis-sean an leabhar. Vowels aren't hyphenated: Mo mhadrasa a mhadrasan Not sure what happens when two "n" collide: linn-ne / linne ? (le + muid) |

With n's, most of the time you stick na/ne to the word, except when it ends with two n's, then you add an hyphen to separate the particle (otherwise you'd get three n's!) ár madadhna (never seen it before, but i think it can't be anything else) ár leabharlann-na With personal endings (with prepositions and pronouns), you add -e to an -nn ending: sinn > sinne linn > linne againn > againne |
