Pronunciation edit
Numeral edit
deich (triggers eclipsis)
Usage notes edit
- May be used with nouns in both the singular and plural; the singular is more common in general, but the plural must be used with units of measurement and the like. Triggers eclipsis:
- deich gcat ― ten cats
- deich dtroithe ― ten feet
- deich n-éin ― ten birds
- When used with the definite article, the definite article is always in the plural. When used with adjectives, the adjective is also in the plural and is always lenited after nouns in the singular; after nouns in the plural, the adjective only lenites after slender consonants:
- deich gcapall bhána ― ten white horses
- na deich n-eaglais mhóra ― the ten big churches
- But:
- deich gcapaill bhána ― ten white horses
- na deich n-eaglaisí móra ― the ten big churches
- When referring to human beings, the personal form deichniúr is used.
