"Beidh" is a form of the stative verb bí, not the copula (which isn't even classed as a full verb and has no future form). Your only choice is to use a periphrastic expression with bí such as "Iris is ea a bheidh ann". |

You could simply say "Beidh sé ina iris" (no copula).
The future tense of the copula fell out of use long ago.
Is was "Budh" rel. "bhus".

Future form of copula today is "is".
That means that "is" can have future meaning (e.g. "Is lá nua é amárach")
But usually "beidh i" + possessive ("will be in my/his") could be used.

Iris ghinearálta a bheidh ann, faoi...
(don't forget to lenite the word that will follow "faoi"...)

B'fhearr liom "maidir le" nó "ag trácht air" nó "ag plé le" seachas "faoi" |

quote:B'fhearr liom "maidir le" nó "ag trácht air" nó "ag plé le" seachas "faoi" Cén fath, a Aonghuis? An saghas Béarlachas é "faoi" sa comhthéacs seo? |

Tá drogall orm a rá glan amach gur Béarlachas atá ann. Ach mothaím amhrasach faoi.
San cás seo is "on the subject of" atá i gceist seachas "about". |

Aye. I wonder why it would be an Anglicism. You'd say that in all languages...

I think it is more a question of register:
"faoi" in casual speech; and
"maidir le" nó "ag trácht air" nó "ag plé le" in formal writing. |
