Here are the Gaelic pronouns and their emphatic case. The emphatic case is used to emphasise a statement or to provide a contrast.

Pronoun	Gaelic pronoun		With emphasis
I / me	mi		mise
you	thu		thusa
he / it	e		esan
she / it	i		ise
we	sinn		sinne
you (plural / polite)	sibh		sibhse
they	iad		iadsan

 

You – thu & sibh

Like other languages, Gaelic has a plural form of ‘you’, which is also used as a polite form when talking to strangers or elders.

It – e & i

Gaelic also has gendered nouns, so each object is either masculine or feminine. ‘It’ is represented as ‘e’ or ‘i’. Always check your dictionary to find out the gender of the noun.
