Parts of speech
Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2012 9:15 pm
What are some of the common parts of speech that I'd encounter on an everyday dictionary search? I know the basic ones and the obvious ones from English but the way Gaelic is set up with suffixes and vowel change, genitive case and so on. I see certain part of speech or at least things that look like parts of speech every time I look up a word and it usually leaves me curious.
for example:
boir. iol. -an
gn. ag. -adh
fir. iol. -ean
ainm.
or more completely:
gnàthas /grãː.əs/
fir. gin. -ais, iol. -an
convention
taigh /tɤj/
fir. gin. -e; iol. -ean
house
baile /balə
fir. iol. -tean
1 town 2 township, village
If there is a comprehensive guide for this that someone is aware of then that would be great!!
cheers
