Dia duit agus fáilte, in this video we're going to take a look at the Irish
verb Mothaigh, which is to feel, Mothaigh, a very useful verb and you'll see why now when
we talk about it in more detail, but before we start I'd like to let you know
that I have added my PayPal information in the first comment, in the description
to this video and on the about page of this YouTube channel, if you can spare a
couple of euro, a couple of dollars or a couple of pounds to support me on my
journey here on YouTube I would really appreciate it
the more support I get, the more likely I am to make better and more regular
videos so thank you very much for supporting me if so. I also want to let
you know about this great verbs book here by Collins if you want to learn
more about Mothaigh and lots of other verbs just click on the Amazon link that will
be in the description to this video and in the first pinned comment. So back to
this video on Mothaigh which is to feel but it can also be to hear as well but we'll
be more focusing on the feeling part, so let's take a quick look at the past
present and future tense of this verb Mothaigh - to feel. Mhothaigh mé is the past
tense I felt - Mhothaigh mé, Mothaím - that's the present tense - I feel, Mothaím
and Mothóidh mé is the future tense I will feel - Mothóidh mé
let's take a look now at 10 sample sentences that you could use in conversation
Mothaím uaim Peadar = I miss Peter
Tháinaig sé gan mhothú orm = he caught me by surprise or he came upon me unawares
Mhothaigh mé rud éigin aisteach = I had a strange feeling or I felt (something) strange
the next phrase then - I don't feel safe in this part of town
Ní Mothaím sábháil ar an taobh sin den bhaile = I don't feel safe in this part of town
the next one then - the people feel in danger
Mothaíonn na daoine i mbaol = the people feel in danger
níor mhothaigh mé mórán péine = I didn't feel much pain
I felt a pain my head - Mhothaigh mé pian i mo cheann
she's not feeling too good today - Níl sí ag mothú go ró-mhaith inniu
she felt awful or she felt terrible
Mhothaigh sí go holc
you'll feel better later on or you'll feel
better soon - Mothóidh tú níos fearr go luath
so you can see there that the irish verb Mothaigh is quite useful you could use it instead of
Bhí mé/Tá mé all the time so if you wanted to say I was good you
would say Bhí mé go maith, but now you could maybe say Mhothaigh mé go maith instead
so by substituting the verb Mothaigh for Tá and Bhí a lot of time you can add
more richness and variety to your Irish sentences, so I hope you enjoyed this if
you did please give it a like and don't forget you can contribute to me by
following the PayPal links on this YouTube channel any
help as I said is much appreciated so I'll see you soon
slán tamall.
