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 oidċe, I was asleep all night: ta se na seasam, he is standing. (132.) Reflected Verbs promiscuously exemplified. Ta sinne nar gcodlad faoi sgat na gerann, An bfuil sise na suide, Ni head, act ta seisean We are sleeping under Where did you sleep last Do not sleep any more. man.

He was awake before me; Be silent. I was sleeping last night. AUXILIARY AUXILIARY VERBS. 1. 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 Jiom; tig, with liom only; as, (133.) Ta sgian agam, I have a knife. 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 s, b, or m; as, Mas (ma is) tu fear an Bean darb (dar ba) ainm Da maill (ma aill) leat If you are the man of the A woman whose name 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 promiscuously exemplified. An tu Seamus? is me, An leatsa an peanna so? Go de ta di ort? Are you James? I am. Are you sick? I am. The night is dark. It is a dark night. I had rather be dead. She is a little wench. My father has a good horse. Is this pen yours? it is mine. What is a wanting to you? An è so do busga suaoi- Is this your snuff-box? sin? is ead. it is. Nil amrus agam ann, I have no doubt. A ndearna |
