in today's video you're going to learn how to create and understand irish sentences using
certain aspects of the irish verb bí these are exactly the kind of tips that you'll pick up by
signing up for the irish version on the language learning app ling i'd highly recommend it
and i'll leave links in the description and in the first pinned comment if you'd like to find out
more information by using ling not only are you supporting me but you're also sending a message
to the developer of this brilliant app that there is interest in irish and the language is alive
and well mar a deirtear ní neart go cur le chéile, ok let's make some sentences
I'm making this extra físeán for you to emphasize how important the irish verb bí is, so bhí mé is i was bhí mé
tá mé is i am tá mé
and beidh mé is i will be future tense i will be i'm going to need you to associate go raibh
with bhí mé so for example go raibh mé tinn that means that i was sick so whenever you see or hear
go raibh that means it's saying that i was so go raibh mé tinn that i was sick
go raibh sé fuar that it (he) was cold
it's a very important way to link sentences & to make sentences so bhí mé i was and then
go raibh mé - that i was
tá mé i am, we need to associate go bhfuil with tá mé that's the present tense
so go bhfuil sé tinn that he is sick go bhfuil mé ag déanamh go maith
that i am doing good so go bhfuil is present tense closely associated with tá mé which means i am
tá mé i am, go bhfuil sé - that it is or that he is
beidh mé is the future tense beidh mé we need to associate go mbeidh with
beidh mé go meidh pronounce meg like a girl's name
go mbeidh sé ag imeacht - that he will be leaving
go mbeidh sé mall that he will be late so go mbeidh sé/mé is that he will be or that i will be
go mbeidh sé future tense closely associated with beidh mé i will be
this little phrase here is is cinnte is, it just means it's clear or it's
certain or it's for definite so you can use this short easy little phrase with the other things
I said like go raibh & go bhfuil & go mbeidh and i'll give you some examples now so
is cinnte go raibh mé tinn
so is cinnte - it's certain it's definite it's clear go raibh mé as i just explained that i was
and tinn is sick tinn you could also say breoite for sick it's another word for sick breoite
is cinnte go raibh mé tinn
is cinnte go bhfuil sé tinn it's certain that he is sick, is cinnte
it's certain it's definite go bhfuil sé that he is remember this is present tense go bhfuil sé
tinn that he is sick it's certain that he is sick
is cinnte go mbeidh sé ag imeacht
it's certain that he will be leaving is cinnte it's certain it's definite go mbeidh sé that he will be
future tense that he will be closely associated with beidh, go mbeidh sé ag imeacht that he will be leaving
is cinnte go mbeidh sé ag imeacht
it's certain that he will be leaving so you can see there if you have is cinnte if you know that
if you know go raibh sé or go mbeidh sé etc you're able to say then that he will be or that he was &
then you can add the verbal noun or some other word then to complete the sentences
