And now the verb \u201cto go\u201d in the present, past, and future tenses, in simple sentences and in relative clauses.\u00a0 The command form is \u201ct\u00e9igh\u201d<\/strong> and the verbal noun is \u201cdul.<\/strong>\u201d Not that we\u2019ll be using those here since we\u2019re still \u201cgroundhog-daying along\u201d with the relative clauses, not commands or present progressives.\u00a0 Someday, though, we\u2019ll all wake up and this irregular verb series will be cr\u00edochnaithe<\/strong> (finished)!<\/p>\n

What with its future tense root of \u201crach<\/strong>-\u201c and the past tense as \u201cchuaigh<\/strong>,\u201d the verb \u201cto go\u201d is another one of the \u201cextra-irregular\u201d verbs in Irish.\u00a0 The present tense, though, as you might notice, works almost like a regular verb, since it\u2019s based on the root \u201ct\u00e9-.\u201c\u00a0 Perhaps just to lure you in?<\/p>\n

Since I heard such a rollicking version of the Percy French song \u201cCome Back, Paddy Reilly, to Ballyjamesduff\u201d at a recent Irish event, I\u2019ll continue to immortalize him in the next batch of sentences.\u00a0 Hmmm, I see extra mileage coming out of this also, for the verb \u201cto come,\u201d ach sin blag eile<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Irish for Ballyjamesduff is \u201cBaile Sh\u00e9amais Dhuibh<\/strong>,\u201d with the name \u201cS\u00e9amas Dubh<\/strong>\u201d having changed to an tuiseal ginideach<\/strong>, since it\u2019s the town \u201cof\u201d black-haired James.\u00a0 For newcomers, remember \u201cSh\u00e9amais<\/strong>\u201d is pronounced \u201cHAY-mish\u201d (first \u201cs\u201d silent, second \u201cs\u201d as in English \u201cfish\u201d).<\/p>\n

Aimsir L\u00e1ithreach:<\/strong> T\u00e9ann Paddy Reilly go Baile Sh\u00e9amais Dhuibh.\u00a0 An dt\u00e9ann Paddy Reilly go Baile Sh\u00e9amais Dhuibh?<\/strong><\/p>\n

And the relative forms:<\/p>\n

Seo Paddy Reilly, an fear a th\u00e9ann go Baile Sh\u00e9amais Dhuibh.<\/strong>\u00a0 This is P.R., the man who goes to Ballyjamesduff.<\/p>\n

Seo R\u00f3is\u00edn Nic Giollar\u00e1in, an bhean a dt\u00e9ann a st\u00f3cach<\/strong> go Baile Sh\u00e9amais Dhuibh.\u00a0 <\/strong>This is Rosie Kilrain, the woman whose boyfriend goes to Ballyjamesduff.<\/p>\n

(In case you didn\u2019t guess, she\u2019s his \u201cst\u00f3ir\u00edn<\/strong>\u201d or \u201csweetheart,\u201d as described in the 12-stanza song).<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a bit of a new twist in the last line.\u00a0 I\u2019m assuming Paddy Reilly is young enough that we could call him a \u201cst\u00f3cach<\/strong>\u201d (young unmarried man, boyfriend), at least when his relationship to Rosie is emphasized.\u00a0 I guess it all depends on whether all of this verb conjugating takes place before or after Rosie and Paddy\u2019s conjugal vows took place, assuming they eventually did. \u00a0Using \u201cfear<\/strong>\u201d (man, husband) in the same sentence as the woman\u2019s name would imply that they were married before the hypothetical time period of all of these abairt\u00ed<\/strong> (sentences).\u00a0 Since Rosie is referred to by her maiden name in the song text in English, I\u2019ll consider Paddy to be her \u201cst\u00f3cach<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0 But in general references, I\u2019ll simply say \u201cfear<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

I promised verbal irregularity and you got it!\u00a0 \u201cT\u00e9igh\u201d <\/strong>becomes \u201cchuaigh\u201d <\/strong>[KHOO-ee] in the past tense (basic form) and \u201cndeachaigh\u201d <\/strong>[NYOKH-ee, silent d] in the past tense question form and the indirect relative form.\u00a0 Mh\u2019anam!\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Aimsir Fh\u00e1istineach: Rachaidh Paddy Reilly go Baile Sh\u00e9amais Dhuibh.\u00a0 An rachaidh Paddy Reilly go Baile Sh\u00e9amais Dhuibh?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Forewarned is fore-armed.\u00a0 You heard that the root of the verb would change to \u201crach<\/strong>-\u201c and so it did.\u00a0 Cad \u00e9 eile a thig liom a r\u00e1!<\/strong><\/p>\n

And, of course, all of this is assuming that Paddy has followed the request and that he eventually does go \u201car ais go Baile Sh\u00e9amais Dhuibh.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n
