For some reason my beginners' Irish texts all give the emphatic singular forms for "le" + personal pronoun, but not the plural. I found "with us" somewhere, and I think I can guess at "with you" (please advise if I'm wrong), but "with them" is beyond me. Is it just "leose", or is "siad" in there somewhere? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the answers and the corrections, and for anticipating my next question, which would have been "do the words and/or pronunciation change in Donegal?" |
