- A chairde,
-
-
- Here are my answers to the exercises for Lesson #6
- ........................................
-
- But first, I should correct two typos and some omissions in
- Lesson #6-A:
-
- (1) tháinig "came" -- the accent was omitted in error
-
- (2) In Section "B", Part 2, the text should have read
- "when used _without_ the article" (it said "with", in error)
-
- (3) egg ubh (f.) plural uibheacha
- island oileán oileáin
-
- .................................................
-
- From Lesson #4 ... an amendment:
-
- telephone fón ... plural is fóin in standard Irish,
- though fónanna is heard in some dialects.
-
- ...................................................
-
- From Lesson #5 ... a correction to the answer given in #5-B:
-
- In exercise B. 3.
- She has a nice blue dress.
- This should have been: "Tá gúna deas gorm aici."
-
- "deas", like "beag" is an adjective which follows
- immediately after the noun. Therefore, "gúna deas gorm"
- rather than gúna gorm deas.
-
- ....................................................
-
- Also a comment about the answers in this lesson:
-
- In this series of lessons, we are following the pattern which
- eclipses the noun after the article "an" and a preposition. It is
- also acceptable in standard Irish to use lenition in this situation.
-
- Thus: ar an gcapall - or- ar an chapall.
-
- In giving the answers to these exercises, I will be following the
- eclipsis model, but if you prefer to use lenition, this would
- also be correct.
-
