In this video we're going to take a look at the Irish verb cruthaigh which is to
create, a very useful and flexible verb that you can use in many different
contexts, cruthaigh to create. If you want to support me here on YouTube you can do
so by making a donation by paypal any help is much appreciated
links will be in the description
so back to this video then on cruthaigh
so the verbal noun is ag cruthú, so that can be a handy alternative
to ag déanamh for example, ag déanamh comes from the verb Déan which is
to make or do, and therefore the verbal noun of that is ag déanamh which is
making or doing, ag cruthú is creating ag cruthú deiseanna = creating opportunities
let's look at the past tense, chruthaigh is the past tense so it
takes a h because it begins with a letter C, because the verb in general
begins with the letter C it takes a séimhiú in the past tense a séimhiú is a H
added after the first letter - chruthaigh
Chruthaigh siad spás agus mar sin de bhí sé níos éasca = they created space and because of that it was easier
so a handy little phrase there you
might have caught in the middle of that sentence was mar sin de, that's a very
useful phrase and it just means because of that or therefore - mar sin de
let's look at the present tense then here's a sample sentence coming up
cruthaíonn sé deacrachtaí ó am go chéile = it creates difficulties from time to time
so cruthaíonn there is the
present tense and you'll see the ending there is has the íonn and that's
because it's a two syllable verb, cruthaigh, so it has different endings to what a
one syllable word would have, a one syllable verb would probably have an a
ann/eann ending but because it's a two syllable verb we have the í
there íonn on that one
cruthaíonn sé deacrachtaí ó am go chéile it creates difficulties from time to time, & that's another handy phrase
as well there, ó am go chéile = from time to time
let's look at the future tense now
cruthóidh mé iomhá nua aimseartha -that means I will create a modern image
so cruthóidh there has a different ending to what a one syllable verb
would have a one syllable verb in the future tense would have an Fidh ending
or an faidh ending, depending if it's broad or slender, but cruthaigh because it's
two syllables has this particular ending here
cruthóidh mé iomhá nua aimseartha
