I think its called the 'reflexive' when we use ' thú ' instead of ' tú ' there is an equivelant in Spanish with Te and Tu . Te veo , I see you , ves tu ? do you see ? which in Irish would be Feicim thú & An bhfeiceann tú ? WOuld someone please let me know how the others are written ie for mé , sí , sé , muid , siad ,sibh thank you Im trying to find out how you would write Will we see us ( each other ) later ? I know an bhfeicean mé ar ball thú ? ( will I see you later? ) but dont know how to phrase it for ' ourselves ' taking a stab at it I would write .... An bhfeicimid ar ball sinn fein ? although I have a feeling this is wrong |

>I think its called the 'reflexive' when we use ' thú ' >instead of ' tú ' The reflexive is when you say "mé féin", "tú féin", "é féin" etc so "myself, yourself, himself" etc. >there is an equivelant in Spanish with Te and Tu . >Te veo , I see you , ves tu ? do you see ? Tu = subject Te = (direct) object. >which in Irish would be Feicim thú & An bhfeiceann tú ? >WOuld someone please let me know how the others are >written >ie for mé , sí , sé , muid , siad ,sibh Feicim Feiceann sé mé (be careful, for present tense, the mé subject pronoun is inside the verb: -im ending. In most other tenses, it is as "mé", outside the verb. In some dialects, like Munster, "mé" is seldom used as a subject because most tenses have a special ending, just as -im for the present). Feiceann sé Feiceann sí é Feicimid=feiceann muid Feiceann sé muid/sinn Feiceann sibh Feiceann sé sibh Feiceann siad Feiceann sé iad. So: mé/mé tú/thú sé/é sí/í muid/muid or sinn sibh/sibh siad/iad. >Im trying to find out how you would write >Will we see us ( each other ) later ? An bhfeicfimid (=an bhfeicfidh muid) a chéile níos moille/ar ball? When u have "each other" in English, most of the time you get "a chéile" in Irish. >I know >an bhfeicean mé ar ball thú ? ( will I see you later? ) No, it’s "an bhfeicfidh mé ar ball thú?" >but dont know how to phrase it for ' ourselves ' >An bhfeicimid ar ball sinn fein ? although I have a >feeling this is wrong What you write has a wrong word order, and it means "Will we see ourselves later?" (ourselves > in a mirror and so on). When you see yourself, it’s pronoun+féin When you see a friend, you say "we see each other", then it’s with "a chéile". I see myself (in a mirror) = feicim mé féin We see each other = feicimid a chéile. |

Ní ritear "do" agus "fhreagra" isteach ina chéile, m.sh. "d'fhreagra", mar ní guta atá ag tús an fhocail "fhreagra" -- tagann "r" roimh an nguta. "do fhreagra" |

Sé "Fhreagair" chomh maith, nach ea san aimsir caite? Ní D'fhreagair? |

I think you misread what I said. For the positive of "I answered", would it be Fhreagair mé or D'fhreagair mé. |

D'fhreagair mé. With f- you add d' in the past and conditional, except with the verb fliuch > fhliuch mé an tae. (learnt with Micheál Ó Murchú...) |
