How would you use a phrase like "Bain díot an cóta." with indirect speech?
Is "Dúirt mé a baint díot an cóta." correct? |

Do you mean "I told you to take your coat off?"
Dúirt mé (or just "duart") leat do chóta a bhaint díot?
or chur díot? |

In Corca Dhuibhne, coat is casóg. Cóta being a petty-coat or slip.
Bain díot do chasóg - dúirt sí liom mo chasóg a bhaint díom |

Ailín, how many people must have gone to CD and gaily spoke about taking their petticoats off, thus shocking the natives? |

Are there common rules on the endings of verbal nouns(example: all 1st declension verbal nouns add suffix -adh) or does it change from word to word? |

Paploo, there are rules, yes, but the exceptions are so numerous it is better to just learn the verbal nouns with the noun. This is quite apart from the fact that the verbal nouns vary a lot between the dialects. |
