== Object Pronouns in Irish ==

Object pronouns are used to replace the object of a sentence, such as me, you, and them. In Irish, object pronouns are used after prepositions and some verbs. In this lesson, you will learn how to use object pronouns in Irish.

=== Object Pronouns List ===

Here is a list of object pronouns in Irish:

{| class="wikitable"
! Irish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| mé || may || me
|-
| tú || too || you (singular informal)
|-
| sé || shay || him
|-
| sí || shee || her
|-
| sinn || shin || us
|-
| sibh || shiv || you (plural or singular formal)
|-
| iad || ee-udh || them
|}

Note that "sibh" can be used either as a plural "you" or a singular formal "you," depending on the context.

=== Object Pronouns after Prepositions ===

In Irish, object pronouns are used after prepositions. Here are some examples:

* Tá post liom. (I have a job with me.)

The preposition "liom" means "with me". In this sentence, "liom" is used instead of "mise", which means "me".

* Tá cáca agat? (Do you have a cake?)

The preposition "agat" means "with you". In this sentence, "agat" is used instead of "tú", which means "you".

Here are some more examples of object pronouns after prepositions:

{| class="wikitable"
! Irish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| liom || lyum || with me
|-
| leat || lyat || with you (singular informal)
|-
| leis || lesh || with him
|-
| léi || lay || with her
|-
| linn || lin || with us
|-
| libh || liv || with you (plural or singular formal)
|-
| leo || lyoh || with them
|}

Note that prepositions in Irish can have different meanings depending on context. For example "ag" can mean "with" or "at" or "to", depending on the sentence.

=== Object Pronouns with Verbs ===

In Irish, object pronouns are also used with some verbs. Here are some common verbs that are followed by object pronouns:

* Tá sé ag cur isteach orm. (He is annoying me.)

The verb "cur isteach" means "to annoy." In this sentence, "orm" is used instead of "mé," which means "me."

* Feiceann tú é? (Do you see him?)

The verb "feiceann" means "to see." In this sentence, "é" is used instead of "sé", which means "him."

Here are some more examples of object pronouns with verbs:

{| class="wikitable"
! Irish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| mé || may || me
|-
| muid || mid || us
|-
| sibh || shiv || you (plural or singular formal)
|-
| iad || ee-udh || them
|}

Note that some verbs in Irish require the use of an object pronoun, while others do not. It is important to memorize which verbs require object pronouns and which do not.

4. He is helping her. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

<em>Answers: 1. Tá sí ag caint linn. 2. An bhfuil tú ag stánadh orm? 3. Ní maith leo é. 4. Tá sé ag cuidiú léi. 5. Táimid ag fanacht ort.</em>
