Ba mhaith liom an méid seo a rá i mo dhialann 'the house is knocked down today'.
Here are my options:
-'Leagtar an theach inniu'
-'Tá an theach leagtha inniu'
Which would be more appropriate?

"Leagadh an teach inniu". Más inniu a déanadh an gníomh, agus é thart.


"Tá an teach leagtha inniu", más uair éigin eile a leagadh é, agus gan an teach a bheith ina sheasamh inniu.

Ní thig leat "leagtar" a úsáid anseo; bheadh ciall leis i sampla mar seo: "Leagtar an milleán ar Bhrian Cowen as cíor tuathail na tíre", i. rud leanúnach. Ní bheadh sin i gceist le teach a leagan.

Más rud é nár tharlaigh fós, "leagfar an teach inniu" a déarfaí.

Tá dhá bhrí le Leagtar an teach:

1) The horse is knocked down (every day, every month, etc.)
2) Let this house be knocked down! Knock this house down! (modh ordaitheach)

Is minic ná tuigeann foghlaimeoirí an deifir ideir staid agus gníomh i gcás na mbriathra. Seo rud athá feiscithe agamsa ar éadain tithe tábhairne:

"An Spailpín Fánach (etc.) - Bunaithe 1841" - rud ná fuil ciall ar bith leis. Bhí an pub bunaithe (staid) i mbliain 1841 ach leagtha go talamh i mbliain a 1842 ab ea? "I mbliain a 1841 a Bunaíodh (gníomh)" an leagan ceart agus an t-aon rud amháin athá ceart.

Tabhair do t'aire, leis:

cíor thuathail - séimhítear

Is it possible to use tá+chun here?

leagfar an tigh inniubh - they will knock the house down today

What about "they're going to knock the house down today"?

Would it be odd to use táthar?

Táthar chun an tigh a leagadh inniubh?

or with the genitive (as PUL did use the genitive in noun constructions after chun):

táthar chun an tí a leagadh inniubh?

Tá an chruithneacht (ullamh) chun bainte - ready to be cut.

Táthar chun an tigh/tí a leagadh/leagan/leagaint - either sounds fine
