Now that we\u2019ve seen the indirect relative clauses in the present and past tenses, let\u2019s look at similar sentences in the future tense.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As previously, we\u2019ll look further at the verb \u201cto be\u201d and also a couple of regular verbs.\u00a0 <\/span>Eventually we\u2019ll be working our way through the other ten irregular verbs Irish has and na foirmeacha di\u00faltacha.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>For those who aren\u2019t exactly tugtha don<\/strong> ghramadach<\/strong>, we\u2019ll have a sos<\/strong> soon, since both L\u00e1 Fh\u00e9ile Br\u00edde<\/strong> and L\u00e1 an \u00daitsigh <\/strong>are coming up, both topics I can\u2019t resist, especially an t-\u00faitseach<\/strong>, which I don\u2019t think has often been discussed in Irish!.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s quickly review the verb \u201cto be\u201d in the present, past, and future tense in simple sentences (i.e. sentences without relative clauses).\u00a0 <\/span>Note the form \u201cmbeidh<\/strong>,\u201d since that\u2019s the one we\u2019ll be using for the future tense of our cl\u00e1sal coibhneasta neamhdh\u00edreach<\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Aimsir l\u00e1ithreach: T\u00e1 an l\u00e1 go bre\u00e1.\u00a0 <\/span>An bhfuil an l\u00e1 go bre\u00e1?\u00a0 <\/span>T\u00e1, t\u00e1 an l\u00e1 go bre\u00e1. <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

(The day is fine.\u00a0 <\/span>is the day fine?\u00a0 <\/span>Yes, the day is fine).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Aimsir chaite: Bh\u00ed an l\u00e1 go bre\u00e1.\u00a0 <\/span>An raibh an l\u00e1 go bre\u00e1?\u00a0 <\/span>Bh\u00ed, bh\u00ed an l\u00e1 go bre\u00e1.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>(The day was fine.\u00a0 <\/span>Was the day fine?\u00a0 <\/span>Yes, the day was fine).\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Aimsir fh\u00e1istineach: Beidh an l\u00e1 go bre\u00e1.\u00a0 <\/span>An mbeidh<\/em> an l\u00e1 go bre\u00e1?\u00a0 <\/span>Beidh, beidh an l\u00e1 go bre\u00e1.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/strong>(The day will be fine.\u00a0 <\/span>Will the day be fine?\u00a0 <\/span>Yes, the day will be fine).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u201cmbeidh<\/strong>,\u201d \u201craibh\u201d <\/strong>and \u201cbhfuil\u201d <\/strong>forms of the verbs \u201cbeidh<\/strong>,\u201d \u201cbh\u00ed.\u201d <\/strong>and \u201ct\u00e1\u201d <\/strong>are called the \u201cfoirmeacha sple\u00e1cha<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>They are used in certain types of questions and also in indirect relative clauses.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember the last blog\u2019s examples for the present and past tenses: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sin \u00e9 an fear at\u00e1 tinn.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/strong>That is the man who is ill.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sin \u00e9 an fear a bhfuil a mhac tinn.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/strong>That is the man whose son is ill.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sin \u00e9 an fear a bh\u00ed tinn.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>That is the man who was sick. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sin \u00e9 an fear a raibh a mhac tinn.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>That is the man whose son was sick.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s add the future.\u00a0 <\/span>Agus \u201cdea-sc\u00e9al\u201d anseo<\/strong>!\u00a0 <\/span>Although \u201cbeidh<\/strong>\u201d is part of the irregular verb \u201cto be,\u201d it\u2019s not as<\/em> irregular as \u201ct\u00e1<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cbh\u00ed<\/strong>\u201d are.\u00a0 <\/span>I bhfocail eile<\/strong>, we don\u2019t switch to a completely different root like we did with t\u00e1 \/ bhfuil<\/strong> and bh\u00ed \/ raibh<\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/span>Now we just have plain old ur\u00fa <\/strong>(eclipsis).\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong>Did you ever think that just eclipsis would look so good?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the same sentences in the future tense, first direct, then indirect:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

D\u00edreach: Sin \u00e9 an fear a bheidh tinn.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 <\/span>That is the man who will be ill.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Neamhdh\u00edreach: Sin \u00e9 an fear a mbeidh a mhac tinn<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/span>That is the man whose son will be ill.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Not that I can really imagine much context for using these sentences.\u00a0 <\/span>Unless you\u2019re Livia, as played by Si\u00e2n Phillips in I, Claudius.\u00a0 <\/span><\/em>She seemed to know when every last mother\u2019s son would be ill — without even resorting to f\u00e1istineacht <\/strong>(augury).\u00a0 <\/span>Meas t\u00fa sin anois! <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s wrap up, as we\u2019ve been doing, with the same regular verbs we\u2019ve used before (bris, t\u00f3g<\/strong>), but now in the future tense.\u00a0 <\/span>Here, all we have to do is eclipse the verb.\u00a0 <\/span>Aillili\u00fa!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, and just a little reminder for anyone really new to na briathra.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong>The future tense endings we\u2019ll be using here are \u201c\u2013fidh\u201d <\/strong>and \u201c\u2013faidh<\/strong>,\u201d both pronounced \u201chee\u201d (the \u201cf\u201d is pronounced like an \u201ch\u201d). \u00a0<\/span>With eclipsis, we\u2019ll get \u201cmbrisfidh<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cdt\u00f3gfaidh<\/strong>.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Brisfidh an fear an fhuinneog.\u00a0 <\/span>Sin \u00e9 an fear a bhrisfidh an fhuinneog.\u00a0 <\/span>Sin \u00e9 an fear a mbrisfidh a mhac an fhuinneog.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/strong>(The man will break the window.\u00a0 <\/span>Direct:<\/em> That\u2019s the man who will break the window.\u00a0 <\/span>Indirect:<\/em> That\u2019s the man whose son will break the window).\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

T\u00f3gfaidh an sl\u00edbh\u00edn an t-airgead.\u00a0 <\/span>Sin \u00e9 an sl\u00edbh\u00edn a th\u00f3gfaidh an t-airgead.\u00a0 <\/span>Sin \u00e9 an sl\u00edbh\u00edn a dt\u00f3gfaidh a mhac an t-airgead<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So, now we\u2019ve done na foirmeacha d\u00edreacha agus na foirmeacha neamhdh\u00edreacha san aimsir l\u00e1ithreach, san aimsir chaite, agus san aimsir fh\u00e1istineach.\u00a0 <\/span>Mh\u2019anam!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, we\u2019ve just been sticking to the \u201cwhose\u201d type of sentences.\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019ll drum up some additional examples with the prepositional constructions (like \u201cThat\u2019s the man to<\/em> whom I gave the money).\u00a0 <\/span>And we\u2019ll do some negatives soon and get back to those other ten briathra neamhrialta<\/strong>. \u00a0<\/span>Ach roimhe sin, beidh sos againn \u00f3n ngramadach!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

N\u00f3ta\u00ed:<\/span><\/strong> di\u00faltach<\/strong>, negative; tugtha do <\/strong>[TUG-huh duh], fond of; sple\u00e1ch <\/strong>[splawkh], dependent; brisfidh<\/strong> [BRISH-hee] will break; t\u00f3gfaidh<\/strong> [TOHG-hee] will take <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
