Usage notes

[edit]
  • This form is attached to first-conjugation verbs with stems ending in either a sender consonant or a vowel;
  • Used in place of the pronoun sinn:
    feic + ‎-imid → ‎feicimid (we see)
    súigh + ‎-imid → ‎súimid (we suck) (stem sú-)
  • In certain dialects, namely Ulster and parts of Connacht, the synthetic is replaced with analytical present tense plus pronoun muid:
    Súnn muid (we suck)
