An samhradh seo thugann, táim ag fanacht i nGaeltacht Chorcha Dhuibhne. Is maith liom a foghlaim an canúint Mumhain. Tá fáilte roimh aon cuidiú. Tá a fhios agam: (correct me if I'm wrong please) Endings: Present: -im, -nn, sé/sí, -imíd, -nn sibh, -id Past: -os, (e)s, sé/sí, -omair, -obhair, -odar Future: -ad, -ir, sé/sí, -imíd, sibh, -id Conditional: -inn, -ifeá, sé/sí, -imíst, sibh, -idíst any for habtual past, or h. present? Eclipses: eclipse after prepositions + article, thus "ag an ndoras" not standard "ag an doras" De + Do: confusions of 'de' and 'do' into a single, all purpose preposition of 'do', which eclipses when 'don' Past do: rare, but sometimes still use 'do' before past tense verbs (as remains in vowel verbs in other dialects like d'ól mé). Thus "Do dhíolas" not "Dhíol mé" Go: use of 'go' instead of 'a' as a conjunction, thus "fear go chonas" instead of "fear a chonaic mé" Any additions would be fantastic, it took me ages of searching just to find this scant info, scattered across all the net. It would be nice to have a simple page learners could reference to, instead of hours of searching. As I said, any help or corrections are more than welcome, as I really want to master this dalect. -GRMA |

Several comments: past: endings are -(e)as, -(a)is, -, -(e)amair, -(e)abhair, -(e)adar due to spelling reform the second conjugation has now different set (although previously it was exactly as above): -íos, -ís, -igh, -íomair, -íobhair, -íodar Examples: 1st conjugation (slender stem): do chuireas, do chuiris, do chuir sé, do chuireamair, do chuirebhair, do chuireadar 1st conjugation (broad stem) do ghlanas, do ghlanais, do ghlan sé, do ghlanamair, do ghlanabhair, do ghlanadar 2nd conjugation: do cheannaíos, do cheannaís, do cheannaigh sé (pronounced as if spelled "do cheanna sé"), do cheannaíomair, do cheannaíobhair, do cheannaíodar Re eclipsis after preposition - "SA" always lenites, even "s-": sa tseomra, sa tsamhradh, sa tsráid Re go: it is used only in indirect relative sentences, so your example is wrong: in Munster "an fear a chonac" - "the fear I saw" go is used like "whose" - an fear go chonac a mhac - "a man whose son I have seen". Additions: irregular verbs differ from caighdeán: In Munster - deinim (pronounced dinim) - I do. In the past - "do dheineas" and so on. "see" in present - cím, cíonn tú, cíonn sé, címíd, cíonn sibh, cíd/ cíonn siad "see" in the past: chonac (pronounced chnuc), chonaicís (chnoicís), chonaic (chnoic), chonaicemair, chonaicebhair, chonaicedar "hear" in the past - chuala, chualaís, chuala, chualamair etc the verb aighrím - is used instead of "cloisim" very often Word freisin is not used, rather "leis".
