Irish Gaelic

Post by Which Tyler »

The Mrs is trying to learn, just because she fancies the challenge.
Could anyone here explain the difference between Tá mé and Is mé please?
I suspect she may have more questions later as well.

Dunno if this helps?

The difference appears to be that "Ta" refers to something that could change. "Is" refers to something won't change.

A beautiful language. Can't remember a word of it though except "In anim an athar agus an Mick...."
