Hi Irish learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn how to give your opinion in Irish. We will look at the grammar rules and some examples. Let's get started! 🤩
Rules
Giving your opinion in Irish is quite simple. To express your opinion, you can use the verb "bí" (to be). This verb is conjugated differently depending on the subject.
For example:
- If the subject is "tú" (you):
Tá mé sásta. (I am happy.)
- If the subject is "sé" (he):
Tá sé sásta. (He is happy.)
- If the subject is "sí" (she):
Tá sí sásta. (She is happy.)
- If the subject is "muid" (we):
Tá muid sásta. (We are happy.)
- If the subject is "sibh" (you plural):
Tá sibh sásta. (You are happy.)
- If the subject is "siad" (they):
Tá siad sásta. (They are happy.)
