<lb n="1"/>
<lb n="2"/><p><span>EXERCISE CVI. -(Continued).</span></p>
<lb n="3"/>
<lb n="4"/><p><span>616. Éire, Erin, Ireland.  This</span>
<lb n="5"/><span>is the proper form of the nominative case;</span>
<lb n="6"/><span>Éirinn should only be used after preposi-</span>
<lb n="7"/><span>tions.  Ní h-í an uaigh ar mbaile.  Is í</span>
<lb n="8"/><span>Éire ar dtír.  Is é an stól mór atá briste;</span>
<lb n="9"/><span>ní h-í an chathaoir bheag atá briste.  An é</span>
<lb n="10"/><span>an fear mór an flaith?  Ní h-é; is é an</span>
<lb n="11"/><span>fear beag an flaith.  Ní h-í an tsúil so atá</span>
<lb n="12"/><span>dall, acht an tsúil eile.  Ní h-é mo bhrón</span>
<lb n="13"/><span>an brón mór, acht an brón ata ar Pheadar.</span>
<lb n="14"/><span>An é an capall atá ar an mbóthar?  Ní</span>
<lb n="15"/><span>h-é; is iad an t-asal óg agus an láir bheag</span>
<lb n="16"/><span>ará air.  An é punt atá ar an uan?  Ní</span>
<lb n="17"/><span>h-é.  An tusa an buachaill óg?  Ní mé;</span>
<lb n="18"/><span>is é sin é.  Ní h-é sin é, acht is</span>
<lb n="19"/><span>é so é.</span></p>
<lb n="20"/>
<lb n="21"/><p><span>EXERCISE CVII.</span></p>
<lb n="22"/>
<lb n="23"/><p><span>618. A departure from ordinary collocation of</span>
<lb n="24"/><span>words is permitted in poetry.  Thus a poem begins-</span>
<lb n="25"/><span>Mo rós, mo lil, mo chaor is tú,</span>
<lb n="26"/><span>istead of is tú mo rós, mo lil, mo chaor</span></p>
<lb n="27"/>
<lb n="28"/><p><span>619. An ind exclamations the verb may be omitted:-</span>
<lb n="29"/><span>(a) mo ghrádh thú!</span>
<lb n="30"/><span>(b) mo ghoirm thú!</span>
<lb n="31"/><span>(c) m'anam astigh thú!</span></p>
<lb n="32"/>
<lb n="33"/><p><span>620. We have already met the demon-</span>
<lb n="34"/><span>strative adjectives so, sin, and úd; as an</span>
<lb n="35"/><span>fear so, this man; an tsúil sin, that eye;</span>
<lb n="36"/><span>an bhean úd, yon womon.  We have also</span>
<lb n="37"/><span>just seen that this, that, those, when mean-</span>
<lb n="38"/><span>ing this, or that(person), are</span>
<lb n="39"/><span>translated sé so, sé sin; siad so, siad sin; iad so,</span>
<lb n="40"/><span>iad sin.  As, atá sé so dubh, acht atá sé </span>
<lb n="41"/><span>sin bán, this (person) is black-haired, that</span>
<lb n="42"/><span>(person) is white-haired.  Is é so Domhnall,</span>
<lb n="43"/><span>This is Donal.</span></p>
<lb n="44"/>
<lb n="45"/><p><span>621. In sentences like these last given,</span>
<lb n="46"/><span>úd is never used, but always súd.</span>
<lb n="47"/><span>In the spoken language often siúd</span>
<lb n="48"/><span>or shortened to siud.  As:— An é</span>
<lb n="49"/><span>súd Tomás?  Atá sí súd óg fós.  Cá bhfuil siad súd?</span></p>
<lb n="50"/>
<lb n="51"/><p><span>622. The older and shorter forms </span>
<lb n="52"/><span>for — </span>
<lb n="53"/><span>Is so é.</span>
<lb n="54"/><span>Is sin é</span>
<lb n="55"/><span>Is súd é.</span></p>
<lb n="56"/>
<lb n="57"/><p><span>These are perfectly regular. They are </span>
<lb n="58"/><span>usually shortened to so é [colloquially often</span>
<lb n="59"/><span>seo é, sin é, súd é. So so é,</span>
<lb n="60"/><span>so iad; sin í, sin iad; súd í, súd iad.</span>
<lb n="61"/></p>
</div>
<pb n="98"/>
<div><lb n="62"/><p><span>623. Similarly we have</span>
<lb n="63"/><span>(Is)so an fear,</span>
<lb n="64"/><span>(Is)sin an bhean,</span>
<lb n="65"/><span>(Is)súd an áit</span></p>
<lb n="66"/>
<lb n="67"/><p><span>(Is) so é an fear, </span>
<lb n="68"/><span>sin í an áit; súd í an</span>
<lb n="69"/><span>bhean, etc.</span></p>
<lb n="70"/>
<lb n="71"/><p><span>624. Phrases: so dhuit</span>
<lb n="72"/><span>so dhuit do phíopa</span>
<lb n="73"/><span>Súd ort(for ólaim </span>
<lb n="74"/><span>súd ort)</span>
<lb n="75"/><span>Sláinte, or Sláinte mhaith,</span></p>
<lb n="76"/>
<lb n="77"/><p><span>625. Sin é an sagart amuigh ar an</span>
<lb n="78"/><span>mbóthar.  Súd í an áit.  Feuch an droichead,</span>
<lb n="79"/><span>agus súd é Diarmuid ag teacht a bhaile ó'n</span>
<lb n="80"/><span>aonach.  So é an leabhar mór. Suidh síos, a</span>
<lb n="81"/><span>Phadraig, so dhuit an stól.  An bhfuil sgeul</span>
<lb n="82"/><span>nuadh ar bith agat indiu?  So an sgeul atá</span>
<lb n="83"/><span>agam.  Súd é an t-oileán mór, amuigh ins</span>
<lb n="84"/><span>an bhfarraige; atá mo theach nuadh ar an </span>
<lb n="85"/><span>oileán úd.</span></p>
<lb n="86"/>
<lb n="87"/><p><span>630. But we can also use is, and say,</span>
<lb n="88"/><span>is fada an lá, is fear é, is lá te é, etc.</span></p>
<lb n="89"/>
<lb n="90"/><p/></div></body></text></TEI>
