a verb is a word that describes an action a noun is a person a place or a thing and
if you can link the nouns with suitable and compatible verbs then
you are going to find the process of learning speaking and understanding irish much easier
let's look at this noun here scoil so scoil is the irish
for school and an appropriate verb to link in with that is the irish verb foghlaim
foghlaim is to learn
d'fhoghlaim sé an teanga = he learned the language
another noun we can use is coláiste, coláiste is the irish for college and a really good verb
to use with coláiste is ullmhaigh so ullmhaigh is the irish verb to prepare
d'ullmhaigh sí í féin don scrúdú = she prepared herself for the exam
cruinniú is the irish word for a meeting cruinniú
and a great verb to link in with that is freastail which means attend
d'fhreastail sé ar an gcruinniú = he attended the meeting
so here's these nouns again
and the appropriate verbs that will link in nicely with them scoil & foghlaim coláiste & ullmhaigh
and cruinniú and freastail
and of course they are compatible so you could use foghlaim & link it in with coláiste as well
and you could certainly link in ullmhaigh with cruinniú
because you know you would prepare for the meeting just like you would attend college
or attend school so they are very much interchangeable
so let's focus on one noun now cluiche cluiche is the irish for a match cluiche
let's look at some verbs that will be very suitable to use with cluiche
imir buaigh and caill so imir means to play buaigh is to win and caill is to lose
these are all things that you would do or you would take note of in relation to a match
let's start with imir d'imir mé for example i played
imríodh an cluiche = the game was played note there imríodh is a free verb
so we know the game was played we just don't necessarily know when it was played or how it went that's a free verb in the past tense
imríodh an cluiche
buaigh is next week bhuaigh siad an cluiche they won the match
let's move on to caill
chailleamar an cluiche = we lost the match
so the verbs imir buaigh and caill are very suitable to be used in conjunction with cluiche
our next nouns then
let's look at teilifís first so teilifís is the irish word for television teilifís and a great verb to use with that is
féach which means to look or to watch d'fhéach mé ar an teilifís = i watched the television
raidió is next so raidió is the irish for radio
and a great verb to use with that probably the best one is éist
which means to listen so for example d'éist mé i listened the past tense d'éist mé i listened
éisteann sé leis an raidió ar maidin = he listens to the radio in the morning
so here's a list of all the verbs i've mentioned in this video and
the appropriate nouns that go with them you can link these some of them are interchangeable and
if you can do this and practice this on an ongoing basis as you learn irish
it is certainly going to make it easier to learn and understand the irish language
