Q1: Are the following OK as regards mutations? (I'm using Munster Irish, so it's "ar an + urú").

Chuas abhaile leis an fear a fheiceáil.
Chuas abhaile leis an ghrian a fheiceáil.
Cé leis an carr sin?

Q2: What's the best book out there for learning Munster Irish? I'm looking for a very advanced book, written in either English or Irish.

What are you trying to say? "to see the man"? You don't use "le" for that in Munster. "Le" is pure Ulster thing, and there is no such thing as "feiceáil", only "feiscint".

Do chuas abhaile chun an fear a fheiscint, or even -

Do chuas abhaile chun an fhir a fhescint!

quote:

Cé leis an carr sin?



Yes, but "san", not "sin", and not "carr", but "gluaisteán" or "cáirt".

Is it possible to say

"Do chuas abhaile d'fhonn an fear/an fhir d'fheiscint" ?

Q4 What does "Is doigh liom" mean? I have wanted to know this for a long time as it is a common phrase. I looked up doigh but it has multiple meanings.

A4: "I think" as in "I think that he is asleep" "Is dóigh liom go bhfuil sé ina chodladh". It comes from a word from hope, so I guess that is what gives it a subjective sense

Is dóigh liom = I suppose

www.englishirishdictionary.com isn't bad for looking stuff like this up.
