Possessive Pronouns

Jmeyer:

*''for a definition see [[Possessive Pronoun (definition)]]''

There are two ways to indicate possessive pronouns (my, your, his, her, our, their) in Gaelic. The first way, which is both more formal and indicates a close relationship between the possessor and the possessed item, uses a pronoun that comes before the noun. The second way, which can be used for a less close relationship (and is, in fact far more common) is to combine the use of a noun and an article followed by an inflected form of the preposition [[Aig (preposition)|aig]]

==Prenominal possessive pronouns==

Gaelic has pronouns roughly equivalent to English my, your, his, her, etc. However these tend to only be used when the possession is of a particularly close or personal nature. For example, they are used with body parts (my arm), family members (my mother), and possession that is clearly ownership and not temporary.

*''am'' is used instead of ''an'' in front of words beginning with any [[Labial (definition)|labial]] consonant (i.e. <nowiki> <b, m, f, p></nowiki>), eg. their table ''am bòrd''
*before words beginning with vowels "mo" is reduced to ''mo','' ''do'' is reduced to ''d','' and ''aL'' his is deleted.

===Examples===
====Before words beginning with consonants====
*my foot: ''mo chas''
*your foot: ''do chas''
*his foot: ''a chas''
*her foot: ''a cas''
*our feet: ''àr casan''
*your (pl) feet: ''ùr casan''
*their feet: ''an casan''

====Before words beginning with vowels====
*my father: ''m'athair''
*your father: ''d'athair''
*his father: ''athair''
*her father: ''a h-athair''
*our father: ''àr n-athair''
*your (pl) father: ''ùr n-athair''
*their father: ''an athair''

==Possessive Pronouns using ''Aig''==

To express a less close relationship between the possessor and the possessum, a combination of an article, a noun, and an accordingly inflected preposition, in this order, is used.

*my cat: ''an cat agam''
*your cat: ''an cat agad''
*his cat: ''an cat aige''
*her cat: ''an cat aice''
*our cat: ''an cat againn''
*your (pl) cat: ''an cat agaibh''
*their cat: ''an cat aca''

This pattern can also be used with full NP possessors:

*Iain's Cat: ''an cat aig Iain"

Negation

Jmeyer: /* Constituent Negation */

Negation in Scottish Gaelic can occur at the clausal level, the constituent level, or at the word level.

==Sentential Negation==

At the sentence level, a negative particle precedes the entire clause:

CHAN signifies a negative, declarative clause.

{|
|''Chan''
|eil
|iad
|gu math
|-
|NEG
|are
|they
|well
|-
|colspan=7|'They are not well.'

{|
|''Nach''
|eil
|iad
|gu math
|-
|NEG
|are
|they
|well
|-
|colspan=7|'Are they not well?'
|}

==Constituent Negation==

The prepositions ''gun'' and ''as aonais'' are used to negate certain constituents:

{|

==The Inflection of Gaelic Prepositions==

Gaelic Prepositions inflect for [[person (definition)|person]], [[number (definition)|number]] and [[gender (definition)|gender]] when they take a [[Pronoun (definition)|pronoun]] as an object. For example if we were to say "at me", we use the inflected form "agam".

*A complete set of inflected form of the prepositions can be found at [[Prepositional Inflection]]

Gaelic Prepositions inflect for [[person (definition)|person]], [[number (definition)|number]] and [[gender (definition)|gender]] when they take a [[Pronoun (definition)|pronoun]] as an object. For example if we were to say "at me", we use the inflected form "agam".

Imperatives

2012-10-17T15:52:04Z

Jmeyer: /* Optional and Obligatory Subjects */

*For a definition of Imperatives see [[Imperative Mood (definition)]].

==Overview==

The imperative paradigm for the verb 'to put' is as follows:

{|border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"
|''cuirim''
|let me put
|''cuireamaid''
|let us put
|-
|''cuir (thusa)''
|you put
|''cuiribh''
|let you (pl) put
|-
|''cuireadh (esan/ise)'
|let him put
|''cuireadh (iadsan)''
|let them put
|-
|}

Even though there are imperative forms for all different person and number features on the verb, the youth tend to only use the second person singular and plural.

There are three main types of ''deference'' in SG imperatives, ranging from a very polite request to an overt command:

'''Most polite:'''
{|
|Nach
|dèan
|sibh
|suidhe?
|-
|NEG
|make
|2p
|sit.vn?
|-
|colspan=7|'Won't you make a sitting?'
|}

'''Polite:'''

{|
|Dèan
|suidhe!
|-
|make
|sit.vn!
|-
|colspan=7|'Make a sitting!'
|}

'''Overt Command:'''

{|
|Suidh!
|-
|sit.imp!
|-
|colspan=7|'Sit!'
|}

==Optional and Obligatory Subjects==

For the second person forms, the subject is optional. When the optional subject is used in these sentences, the subject becomes emphatic and the sentence is called a "particularizing imperative":

{|
|Seas!
|-
|stand.imp.2s
|-
|"Stand up!"
|}

or

{|
|Seas
|thusa!
|-
|stand.imp.2s
|2s.emph
|-
|"''You'' stand up!"
|}

However, when the third person form is used, then the subject becomes obligatory, either in pronominal form or as a noun.

{|
|Seasadh
|e!
|-
|stand.imp.3s
|3sm
|-
|"Let him stand up!"
|}

or

{|
|Seasadh
|Iain!
|-
|stand.imp.3s
|Iain
|-
|"Let John stand up!"
|}

When a noun is used, we say that this is an "identifying imperative". A single imperative can incorporate both the "identifying" and "particularizing" features:

{|
|Seas
|thusa,
|Iain!
|-
|stand.imp.2s
|2s.emph
|Iain
|-
|"''You'' stand up, John!"
|}

==Negative Imperatives==
Negative imperatives are created by placing the negative particle ''na'' in front of the verb:

{|
|Na
|ith
|-
|NEG
|eat.imp
|-
|colspan="7"|'Don't eat!'
|}

When the optional subject is used in these sentences, the subject becomes emphatic and the sentence is called a "particularizing imperative". However, when the third person form is used, then the subject becomes obligatory, either in pronominal form or as a noun.

*For a definition of Imperatives see [[Imperative Mood (definition)]].

==Overview==

The imperative paradigm for the verb 'to put' is as follows:

{|border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"
|''cuirim''
|let me put
|''cuireamaid''
|let us put
|-
|''cuir (thusa)''
|you put
|''cuiribh''
|let you (pl) put
|-
|''cuireadh (esan/ise)'
|let him put
|''cuireadh (iadsan)''
|let them put
|-
|}

Even though there are imperative forms for all different person and number features on the verb, the youth tend to only use the second person singular and plural.

There are three main types of ''deference'' in SG imperatives, ranging from a very polite request to an overt command:

'''Most polite:'''
{|
|Nach
|dèan
|sibh
|suidhe?
|-
|NEG
|make
|2p
|sit.vn?
|-
|colspan=7|'Won't you make a sitting?'

The imperative paradigm for the verb 'to put' is as follows:

{|:
|''cuirim''
|let me put
|''cuireamaid''
|let us put
|-
|''cuir (thusa)''
|you put
|''cuiribh''
|let you (pl) put
|-
|''cuireadh (esan/ise)'
|let him put
|''cuireadh (iadsan)''
|let them put
|-
|}

Even though there are imperative forms for all different person and number features on the verb, the youth tend to only use the second person singular and plural.

==Optional and Obligatory Subjects==

For the first and second person forms, the subject is optional:

{|
|Seas!
|-
|stand.imp.2s
|-
|"Stand up!"
|}

or

{|
|Seas
|thusa!
|-
|stand.imp.2s
|2s.emph
|-
|"'you' stand up!"
|}

When the optional subject is used in these sentences, the subject becomes emphatic and the sentence is called a "particularizing imperative"
==Negative Imperatives==
Negative imperatives are created by placing the negative particle ''na'' in front of the verb:

Na ith ''don't eat''
