Pronunciation edit
Adverb edit
gach
Usage notes edit
- Considered a little more formal or high-register than the synonymous a h-uile by some.
- Gach is an inherently definite word, acting grammatically as if there is an unwritten definite article. Thus, the prepositions ann, à, le, ri usually take the pre-article forms (anns, às, le, ris) when preceding gach, though some speakers use the basic forms instead.
Derived terms edit
- gach bliadhna (“every year, annually”)
- gach dàrnacha (“every second”)
