My uncle is a worker.
Why is the é needed?
an t-ealaíontóir
AThe artist
In Irish, the order "PSO" is the rule (predicate - subject - object)
For copular clauses, then: copula - predicate - subject.
So:
Is é an dalta an fear = the man is the student. (predicate: an dalta = the student)
Is é an fear an dalta = the man is the student / the student is the man (predicate: an fear = the man)
For copular clauses, then: copula - predicate - subject.
So:
Is é an dalta an fear = the man is the student. (predicate: an dalta = the student)
Is é an fear an dalta = the man is the student / the student is the man (predicate: an fear = the man)
The woman is his artist
Is í a ealaíontóir an bhean
Seems to be wrong
This is correct
Is í an bhean a ealaíontóir
Why?
