Hello and welcome back to Irish in my heart
and if you are new here, hello and welcome
my friends, I haven't made a video for a while
I'm sorry about that
but I'm back today with a short video
but an important video because I think people are often confused about this
English subtitles are available if you want
and Irish subtitles are available for my patrons
the link will be in the description
today I will be talking about the difference between 'ar feadh' and 'le'
when I started this video
I said "I didn't do"
I didn't see you
I didn't do
I forget, what did I say?
if you're trying to say 'for' in Irish
'ar feadh' - it's different in the different dialects
the pronunciation is available on 'focloir.ie'
I'll be saying 'ar feadh' . What's the difference?
don't worry, I will tell you today
there are a few examples on 'focloir.ie'
so we will have a look at them now
there are a few options, we will look at number 9
'stating duration' and you will see that there isn't 1 word available
there are a few options, a few examples
there are actually many examples
here are a few examples
so 'ar feadh' and 'le', what is the difference?
you're anxiously waiting, I know
'ar feadh' - past and future tense
the word 'fortnight' is still said in Ireland in English
and I think it's so funny because
when I say that word to people from other countries
they think that I am so old-fashioned
"fortnight"? What age are you?
but the word is still said
and there is a word in Irish
and future tense
if the period has passed
or if the period is to come
ar feadh
and something important
the genitive case is used with 'ar feadh'
I will put a few more words on the screen
so 'le', when is 'le' used?
if the period is still going on
but if you want to use the negative
use the past tense
he hasn't drank for 50 years
well that's good
that example
he hasn't drank for 2 months
that's a big change
50 years, 2 months
ok i don't know why that's so funny
let's do a quiz
right or wrong?
that's it my friends, I hope you enjoyed this video
I hope you learned something new
thank you very much to my patrons, if you want to be a patron I will put the link in the description
and I'll see you in the next video
see you soon
