Read aloud the following sentences, or have someone who is familiar with the pronunciation guide for these lessons read them to you. Read or listen to the sentences at least three times to get the sense. Then look at the key in English and, after that, the key in Irish. The verbs are the irregular ones.

Key (Bearla): I didn't get anything from that store, but Máire saw a couple of things that she was wanting for a long time now. We didn't see our friend, Síle, there. She will come to our house tonight, however.

We would go to her house, except that we wouldn't have enough time.

Nora told me yesterday that she would make tea and a meal for us after we had come home. She gave us tea, sure enough, and we ate our supper at seven o'clock.

You wouldn't get a meal much better than that. We must get something nice for her when we visit the city again.

Key (Gaeilge): Níbhfuair méaon rud on siopa sin, ach chonaic Máire cúpla rudaía bhíag teastáil uaithi le fada anois. Nífhacamarár gcara, Síle, ann. Tiocfaidh síchuigár dteach anocht,áfach.

Rachaimis chuig a teach murach nach mbeadh am go leor againn. Dúirt Nóra liom innégo ndéanfadh sítae agus béile dúinn, taréis teacht abhaile dúinn. Thug sídúinn tae, ceart go leor, agus d'itheamarár séire ar a seacht a chlog.

Níbhfaighfeábéile mórán níos fearr náésin. Táorainnéigin deas a fháil di nuair a thabharfaimid cuairt chuig an chathair arís.

Indirect speech with "is" and an modh coinníollach

The equivalent of "You say that you would like a boat" is:

Deir túgur (gur) mhaith leat bád.

For "You say that you wouldn't like a boat":

Deir túnár (naw*r) mhaith leat bád.

Memorize these two sentences as a guide.

"Gur" and "nár", which must always be in the sentence to connect the two clauses, cause aspiration of the first consonant in the next word.

Other examples of usage:

Cloisfidh (KLISH-hee) sibh gur mhaith le Seán bheith (ve) sa bhaile; you-all will hear that Seán would like to be home.

Shílfinn (HEEL-hin) gur bhád mórésin; I would think that that would be a large boat.

Cheap sénár mhian leo ceann eile a cheannach; he thought that they wouldn't wish to buy another one.

If the word following "gur" or "nár" begins with a vowel or "f" followed by a vowel, then:

gur becomes gurbh (GU-ruhv); nár becomes nárbh (NAW*R-ruhv)

Examples of this:

Deir ségurbhíSiobhán (shi-VAW*N)í; he says that it would be Siobhán.

Déarfainn leo nárbhésin an bord ceart; I would tell them that that would not be the right table.

Chuala (K*OO-luh Séamas gurbh fhearr (GU-ruhv AHR) le Brian an traein luais (LOO-ish); Séamas heard that Brian would prefer the express train ("train of speed").

Síleann sínárbh fhiú(NAW*R-uhv YOO) di clárú; she thinks it wouldn't be worth her while to register.

Sílim gurbh fhiúna bróga sin a cheannach; I think that it would be worth my while to buy those shoes.

The forms for this are the same as for the past tense of "is" in indirect speech. When doubt could arise whether the past tense (was) or the conditional (would) is intended, an extra clause can follow the first two. Examples:

Dúirt mégurbhéSeán a bhíann; I said that it was Seán who was there.

Dúirt mégurbhéSeánéa bheadh ann; I said that it would be Seán, who would be there.
