- LESSON #9
-
- "AR"
- WEARING CLOTHES
- FEELINGS
-
-
- I. GRAMMAR
-
- A. "AR"
-
- 1. The basic meaning of "ar" is "on". When used with nouns, this
- preposition takes the form "ar" and its pattern of use is:
-
-
- without the article with the article
-
- ar bhord on a table ar an mbord on the table
- ar bhoird on tables ar na boird on the tables
- ar Mháire on Mary
-
-
- 2. When used with pronouns "ar" combines with the pronouns to
- form the set of "prepositional pronouns" shown below:
-
- ar [er']
-
- on me orm [or@m]
- on you (sg) ort [ort]
- on him, on it (m) air [er']
- on her, on it (f) uirthi [erhi]
- on us orainn [or@n']
- on you (pl) oraibh [or@v']
- on them orthu [orhu]
-
-
- B. WEARING CLOTHES
-
- Wearing clothes is expressed with ar :
-
- e.g. Tá cóta ar Mháire. Mary has a coat on. Mary is
- wearing a coat.
-
- Tá cóta air. He is wearing a coat.
-
- Chuir sí cóta uirthi. She put on a coat.
-
- Chaith tú cóta ort. You threw on a coat.
- (You put it on hurriedly)
-
-
-
-
-
- C. FEELINGS
-
- In Irish, feelings are worn like clothes.
-
- e.g. Tá áthas orm. I am happy.
- (Lit. there is happiness on me)
-
- Tá brón mór air. He is very sad.
-
- Tá biseach ar an bhfear. The man is better (in health)
-
-
- Note that to express the idea in Irish, you need to use the
- noun that corresponds to the English adjective:
-
- sad >> sorrow
- afraid >> fear
-
-
- D. Three instances where "ar" doesn't mean "on":
-
- ar Aifreann to Mass, at mass
-
- ar an aonach to the fair, at the fair
-
- ar scoil to school, ar school
-
-
