Graiméar

The verb "is" has its own modh foshuiteach, aimsir láithreach, or subjunctive, present tense. It is very simple: gura (GU-ruh) and nára (NAW*R-uh) are the forms before words beginning with any consonant, including "f". Before words beginning with a vowel, the form becomes "gurab" (GUR-uhb) and "nárab" (NAW*R-uhb). These four forms generally occur only in certain expressions, such as the examples here:

Gura slán an scéalaí(SHKAY*L-ee); good luck to the story teller.

Nára mhaith an mhaise (VWAH-shuh) dóé; I hope it's no good to him.

Gurab amhlaidh (OU-lee) duit; May it be the same to you. This is the reply to "Nollaigh shona dhuit", Merry Christmas, etc.

Nárab olc an mhaise dóé; I hope that he will benefit from it.
