As opposed to which other word?
Is foirm de chuig atá i chun.
chuig [réamhfhocal]
go, go dtí, i dtreo (dul chuig, chun, duine); maidir le, i dtaobh, i leith (go maith chuig Laidin, chun Laidine); le haghaidh (réidh chun bainte; cad chuige é sin?); oiriúnach i gcomhair (má bhíonn an lá chun féir); i mbun (cliste chun oibre); ar tí (bhí mé chun é a rá léi).
Foirmeacha
chucu [réamhfhocal, an tríú pearsa iolra]
chugaibh [réamhfhocal, an dara pearsa iolra]
chugainn [réamhfhocal, an chéad phearsa iolra]

When speaking Munster dialect. As I understand it, other dialects use this word seldom, if at all. You'll find explicit notes on usage here: http://nualeargais.ie/gnag/chuig.htm. |

In Ulster we use it to say "to go to... (place)" when the name of the place is preceded by an article or a possessive. And in some expressions.
Chuaigh mé chun an bhaile (pronounced "na bhaile")
Chuaigh sé chun an Bhuna Bhig (pronounced "na Bhuna Bhig")
Chuaigh mé chun na cathrach sin (pron. "na cathrach sin")

Is minic a deirtear "chuin" ó dheas mar aon le "chun". Foirm fhíorannamh is ea "chuig".
Tá fuílleach samplaí eile aige Niall Ó Dónaill.
Tá sé ag titim chuin boilg/peainse = he's developing a pot belly
prátaí agus im orthu chuin dínnéir = potatoes with butter for dinner
dh'fhanas sa tigh chun go dtáini' sé = until he came
ag dul chun caiteachta = getting worn/threadbare
tá na sméara ag dul chun báis = dying off
etc etc |
