Ag tabhairt amach na goodies do na gasúir ag an doras aréir, b'in GA a bhí mé ag labhairt leo, mar is de gnáth. Agus is minic a chloistear uathu, "go raibh maith agat", "slán", srl.
"Bhfuil Gaelainn agat?", a dúirt dineasár liom.
Ní amháin go raibh GA ag na gasúir, ach ag na tuistí chomh maith 💚

Cúpla bliain ina ndiaidh i bpáirc an Chrócaigh ag ceolchoirm dá chuid U2 (Zooropa, nfheadar?), bhí phictiúr d'Peig á léiriú ar an scáileán mhór.
"What a bitch", a deir an príomhamhránaí.
In ainneoin nach raibh spéis ar bith agam sa chúrsaí Gaelainn ag an am, níor thaitin an ráiteas úd liom.

An bhfuil eolas ag éinne agaibh i dtaobh bhunús an struchtúir ina bhfuil ainsíoch bealaí mar dobhriathar? Rud mar ‘bhí sé ag dul _an bóthar_’ gan an ginideach i ndiaidh ainme briathartha. An raibh a leithéid de rud sa Ghaelainn Chlasaiceach nó roimis sin?

Not as comprehensive as the guide I wrote regarding the copula – but a really good quick and fairly simple introduction to the basics, very nice work by An Spideog!

My explanation of the use of (in)direct relative clauses with adverbials in #irish #grammar.
Written on a forum that I _don’t_ want to advertise due to one active toxic user making it not be a safe space. But IMO the explanation is worth sharing.

It’s in the language at lest since Middle Ir. period. In his dissertation on the historical syntax of the copula Kuninao Nashimoto mentioned it for Middle and Early Mod. Irish.
But he makes it sound like it’s limited to placename lore and not productive since EMI.

![Kuninao Nashimoto, “On the Historical Syntax of the Copula in Irish”, p. 193:
This is probably a later development after CpPS construction is established in Old Irish. But a copula without a proleptic pronoun may appear occasionally in a placename lore as in:
(6) 3c 3a ‘⁊ bid / Áth nGabla / a ainm co bráth din gabuil se ifec[h]tsa,’ ar Fergus, … (TBC0601)
Trans. ‘and Áth nGabla shall be its name forever now from this forked pole.’
(7) 3c 3g Conid / Slechta / comainm ind inaid sin béus airm i táat Partraigi Beca ra Cenannas na Ríg … (TBC0514)
Trans. so that Slechta is still the name of that spot where is Partraige Beca south-west of Cenannas na Ríg …
Examples such as (6) and (7), however, can be interpreted as classificatory sentences as AA has suggested to me. The proper names in these cases mean ‘a place bearing the name Áth nGabla or Slechta’ rather than ‘the only one place called Áth nGabla or Slechtna’. See Ó Nualláin (1911, 35-39) for further discussion of the interpretation of proper names.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:quwnb4jmajwvrqu2jx2uenub/bafkreigqi74l5nqc7cbtgyphjbq5q2wpnspwratwhd27kmqz65rpa7pgl4@jpeg)

This rule is well-established and commented upon in Graiméar Gaeilge na mBráithre Críostaí (the most authoritative Standard Irish grammar), by O’Nolan in his books, in Gnás na Gaedhilge by Cormac Ó Cadhlaigh.

![Graiméar Gaeilge na mBráithre Críostaí saying:
Má úsáidtar an t-ainm dílis éiginnte mar fhaisnéis, ní mór abairt aicme a úsáid: Tomás is ea é mar Tomás is ea a athair; Micheál ba ea an triúr acu; is Oisín in ndiaidh na Féinne é; is Seán is ainm dom; ní aon Tadhg an dá thaobh mise; [is] Éire ainm na tíre seo; Caisleán Nua is ea an baile sin fosta.

This means that there is a difference between:
is Séamus ainm a mhic ‘Séamus is the name of his son’
and
is é Séamus a rinne é ‘it’s Séamus who did it’
sub-predicate pronoun is only put before (definite) name referring to a specific person.

One interesting rule of #irish #grammar that many people struggle with, but it seems well alive in native Irish. A 🧵.
If a proper name (of person or place) is referring to the name itself, & not to a specific person, it’s treated as indefinite after the copula.
