Cad é an Modh Coiníollach?

(this will be in English, I'm lazy)

This is the conditional tense (or mode), to express an action that can/might/would happen. For example, I would run, you would eat, she would sit, we would play.

Just to clarify to anyone not studying Irish, this is a scary tense, but some common phrases are actually in the Conditional tense! Although in a simpler form (which is a great way of boosting points if you're Ordinary level):

Cad é ba mhaith leat?: What would you like?
Ar mhaith leat cupán tae?: Would you like a cup of tea?
Ba mhaith.: Yes (“I would”)
Níor mhaith: No (“I wouldn’t”)

Syntax

just a quick rundown of how you read it:

English:

I would be rich and famous, if I had my dream job

Irish:

Dá mbeadh an post aislingeach agam, bheinn clú agus cáiliúil

in literal English this means:

If I had my dream job, I would be rich and famous

All verbs are in the modh coiníollach in a sentence!

My phone would break if you kicked it

this makes sense in English

My phone would break if you would kick it

is how you say it in Irish (with a literal translation)

Bhrisfeadh mo fón póca dá dtabharfá cic dó

how you say it as Gaielge

btw this will be as Gaielge from now on...

An chéad Réimniú - The First Group

(siolla amháin)

Rialacha

Séimhiú ag tús an bhriathair. Mar shampla: Chuirfinn
ní + Séimhiú roimh an mbriathar san fhoirm dhíultach. Mar shampla: Ní ghlanfadh sí. (Ní chuirtear "h" ar briathar a thosaíonn le guta: ní íocfainn.)
" D' " roimh ghuta nó roimh briathar a thosaíonn le "f": D'íocfainn
an + urú san fhoirm ceisteach: An mbuailfeá leis?
_fimis: nuair atá "sinn" i gceist agus nuair a chríochnaíonn an fhréamh ar chonsan caol: Rithfimis
_faimis: ^ ach consan leathan: D'ólfaimis

Líon - to fill

(siolla amháin, leathan)

mé: líonfainn
tú: líonfá
sé/sí: líonfadh sé/sí
sinn: líonfaimis
sibh: líonfadh sibh
siad: líonfaidis
saor: líonfaí

ceisteach: an líonfadh mé?

díultach: ní líonfadh sé

Rith - to run

(siolla amháin, caol)

mé: rithfinn
tú: rithfeá
sé/sí: rithfeadh sé/sí
sinn: rithfimis
sibh: rithfeadh sibh
siad: rithfidís
saor: rithfí

ceisteach: an rithfeadh tú?

díultach: ní rithfeadh sí

Bhuel, sin é.

Scríobhfaidh mé post eile faoin Modh Coiníollach (an dara réimniú, briathar neamhrialta, etc.)
