Mion-Ċaint



“IS” AND “TÁ.”

I.
Is,” or any part of it, is the link between two substantives, or between two modes, as “Is ainiṁíġe bó”; “Is ’na seasaṁ atá sí.”
II. ,” or any part of it, is the link between a substantive and any of its modes, as “tá an bó ’na seasaṁ”; “tá sí ag siúḃal.”
III.
The predicate comes next to “is,” the subject comes next to “.” “Atá” is the relative form of “.” ”Is” can be very often omitted.
