A couple of months ago we posed this question on the Transparent Language Irish Blog:<\/p>\n

Cad a dh\u00e9anfaidh t\u00fa ar an deireadh seachtaine seo?<\/strong> (What are you doing this weekend?)<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/learn.irish\/posts\/10152034063644295?stream_ref=10<\/p>\n

Let’s look at some possible answers.\u00a0 How many can you translate?<\/p>\n

1. Rachaidh m\u00e9 ag siopad\u00f3ireach<\/strong>t. [… egg SHOP-uh-dohrzh<\/sup>-ukht]<\/p>\n

2. Rachaidh m\u00e9 ag iascaireacht<\/strong>. \u00a0[egg EE-usk-irzh<\/sup>-ukht]<\/p>\n

9. Beidh m\u00e9 ag imirt fichille i Holland Park, Londain<\/strong>. \u00a0[… egg IM-irtch<\/sup> FIH-hyil-uh …]<\/p>\n

All of these answers have an ending for the verb that shows that it is in the future tense:<\/p>\n

rachaidh<\/strong> [RAH-khee], will go.\u00a0 This is the irregular future form of the verb “t\u00e9igh.”\u00a0 You can see why it’s\u00a0 considered irregular, since no part of “t\u00e9igh<\/strong>” is repeated in the future.\u00a0 With regular verbs, in contrast, you can always see something of the core, even as the time frame changes, as in “d\u00fan \/ d\u00fanfaidh<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

beidh<\/strong> [bay, almost “bay-ee”], will be<\/p>\n

seinnfidh<\/strong> [ SHEN-hee], will play (specifically for music, not games)<\/p>\n

d\u00e9anfaidh<\/strong> [DJ<\/sup>AYN-hee], will do<\/p>\n

l\u00e9ifidh<\/strong> [LAY-hee], will read<\/p>\n

And how about the answers several readers posted (a, b, and d translated here into Irish; c was already in Irish)? \u00a0Seo iad<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

a. Beidh m\u00e9 ag \u00f3l, tada seachas a bheith ag \u00f3l<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

b. Beidh m\u00e9 ag obair sa mhaidin agus ag \u00f3l agus ag damhsa san o\u00edche<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

c. Seinnfidh m\u00e9 ceolchoirm<\/strong>, I will play a concert.\u00a0 (Note the difference between this and “seinnfidh m\u00e9 ceol<\/strong>,” which is “I will play music.”)<\/p>\n

d. Beidh m\u00e9 ag obair D\u00e9 Sathairn; rachaidh m\u00e9 go teach an phobail; beidh m\u00e9 ag cuidi\u00fa le cara liom.<\/strong><\/p>\n
