GRAMMAR

In the future tense, the (say*r-VREE-huhr) or free form expresses ideas such as "It will be put on the table" or "Someone will put it on the table". In Irish, this is:

Cuirfear ar an mbordé(KIR-fuhr er un MOHRD ay*). Note that the "f" is pronounced (f) here. In other future forms, you pronounce it (h), as in "Cuirfidh mé(KIR-hee may*) ar an mbordé"; I will place it on the table.

The rest of the saorbhriathar forms in the future are:

Níchuirfear (K*IR-fuhr) ar an mbordé.

An gcuirfear (un GIR-fuhr) ar an mbordé?

Nach gcuirfear (nach* GIR-fuhr) ar an mbordé?

"Ní" aspirates here, and "an" and "nach" eclipse.

For a two-syllabled second-conjunction verb, such as "ceannaigh" (KAN-ee), buy, the future forms are:

Ceannófaré(kan-OH-fuhr ay*), it will be bought.

Nícheannófaré(nee hyan-OH-fuhr ay*), it will not be bought.

An gceannófaré? (un gyan-OH-fuhr ay*), will it be bought?

Nach gceannófaré? (nahk* gyan-OH-fuhr ay*), won't someone buy it?

Others from this group:

Osclófaré(ohsk-LOH-fuhr ay*), someone will open it.

Cosnófaré(kuhs-NOH-fuhr ay*), it will be defended.

Freagrófaré(frag-ROH-fuhr ay*), someone will answer it.

Baileofaré(bahl-YOH-fuhr ay*), someone will collect it.

Inseofar dóé(in-SHOH-fuhr doh ay*), it will be told to him.

Notice that an extra "e" is inserted sometimes. This makes spelling consistent, so that you know whether a letter gets its broad or slender sound. For example, without the "e" to help, you would not know whether "insófar" was (in-SOH-fuhr) or (in-SHOH-fuhr).

DRILL

With the examples:

An gcuirfear an mála sa charr? (un GIR-fuhr un MAW*-lah suh K*AHR), Will the bag be put into the car? Níchuirfear an mála sa charr, The bag won't be put into the car. Nach gcuirfear an mála sa charr? Cuirfear an mála sa charr.
