So I'm trying to figure this out and it's driving me nuts.

I know how to say 'Feicim go bhuil... X', but what about in 'is' phrases instead of 'tá' phrases?

So, if I wanted to combime "Is maith leat X" and Feicim..." into "Feicim [word in question] maith leat X", what would it be?

This is probably a dumb question, but it's been bothering me for the last hour or so. Thanks in advance.

is -> gur (generally gurb before vowels)
ba -> gur + lenition (generally gurbh before vowels)

Tá fáilte roimh chuile cheartú!
