Conjugations.

247. In Irish there are two conjugations of regular verbs. They are distinguished by the formation of the future stem. All verbs of the first conjugation form the first person singular of the future simple in ‑fad or ‑fead, whilst verbs of the second conjugation form the same part in ‑óċad or ‑eóċad.

  1. ó ċéile, = ó n‑a ċéile.
  2. le ċéile, = le n‑a ċéile. This last form is often used and explains the aspiration in le ċéile.
