REFLECTED REFLECTED VERBS. 1. Reflected verbs are used to express a state of being, or an action terminating with the doer of it; as, codlaim, I sleep; seasam, I stand. 2. Whenever duration is expressed, or understood, the circumlocution, with the verb bi, is used; as, bi me mo codlad ar fead an ordee, I was asleep all night: ta se na seasan, he is standing. (132.) Reflected Verbs promiscuously exemplified. Ta sinne nar gcodlad We are sleeping under faoi sgat na gcrann, the shade of the trees. An bfuis sise na suide, Is she sitting.

The auxiliaries bi, is, or as, and tig, with their inflexions, are elegantly used to supply the place of all verbs denoting possession, want, power, necessity, or any affection of the body, or mind. 2. Bi is used with agam, orm, and uaim; is, or as, with dam, and liom; tig, with liom only; as, (133.) Ta sgian agam, I have a knife. Ni bfuil sgian agam, I have not a knife. Ta sgian uaim, I want a knife. Ni tig liom a deanam, I cannot do it. Is eigin dam sgriobad, I must write. Ta grad agam air Dhia, I love God. I Ta fuait orm, I am cold. Is liom sin fòs, That is mine too. 3. Is, or as, simply denotes the object in itself; but ta always denotes it as connected with some circumstance. Hence, is affirms simply of its object, although that object be expressed by two or more words; as, is me Domnall, I am Donald; is fuar an oidċe i, it is a cold night. But ta has a twofold object, and shews the subject and predicate distinctly from each other; ta Domnall ag an doras, Donald is at the door; ta an oidċe fuar, the night is cold. . (134.) Hence also, the interrogative, of as, is an, used in enquiring after any inherent quality of the subject; as, an tu Domnall? are you Donald? is me, I am. But the interrogative, of bi, is bfuil, used in enquiring after any occasional quality, or circumstance; as, bfuil Domnall ag an doras? is Donald at the door? ata, he is. 4. When 4. When as, or is, ba, and bud, come in contact with vowels, they are contracted into $, b, or m; as, Mas (ma is) tu fear an If you are the man of the tiġe, house. Bean darb (dar ba) ainm A woman whose name Eblin, was Evelina. Da maill (ma aill) leat If it were agreeable to eisteact liom, you to listen to me. Bfearr (ba fearr) damsa It were better for me to beït mo 'tost, be silent. 5. Ba, and bud, aspirate the following mutable consonants; as, bud mait liom, I would wish. 6. The auxiliary bi, with the preposition ann, is used to express existence; as, ta subailce ann, there is a virtue; bi duine ann, there was a man. (135.) The construction of the auxiliary verbs promis cuously exemplified. An tu Seamus? is me, Are you James? I am. Bhfuil tu tinn? ataim, Are you sick? I am, . , Is girseac beag i, She is a little wench. Ta si na girsig big, Ta eaċ maït ag natair, My father has a good horse. An leatsa an peanna so? Is this pen yours? it is is liomsa e. mine. Go de ta di ort? What is a wanting to you? An è so do busga snaoi. Is this your snuff-box? sin? is ead. it is. Nil amrus agam ann, I have no doubt. A ndearna |
