Hi there, just looking for the form of the words appropriate in this sentence:
bhí sí ina mainicín roimh a thosaigh sí ag cur [fat] uirthi
GMA! |

I don't think you can use "roimh" as a conjunction. Have to use "sula(r)", "sulmá" (I dunno what sulmá becomes before a verb in the past tense) or in Munster "sara(r)", etc.
Bhí sí ina mainicín sular thosaigh sí ag éirí ramhar (to become fat)
Donegal:
Bhí sí ina mainicín sular thoisigh sí a dh’éirí ramhar.
Kerry, a try:
Bhí sí ina mainicín sarar thosnaigh sí ag éirí ramhar.

GRMA, a Lughaidh
Ceapaim go bhfuil sí féideartha i Maigh Eo, ach b'fheidir nach mbeadh sí in ann áit ar bith eile! |

Fuair mé giota beag eile ó Lars: *nualeargais*
"sula / sular is a combination of sul ( = before) and the indirect relative particle a / ar, hence sul a/ar is also possible.
Regional: instead of sula also sara / sarar (Munster), sol (with dir. relative clause), sola, sul má (Connemara), roimh (Mayo)" |

nó "sular thosaigh sí ag titim chun feola", b'fhéidir... |
