In Irish the WORD ORDER is the reverse of that in English:
[verb] + [subject] => [ tá ] + [ sé ]

One can add an ADJECTIVE to the basic structure to give the construction:
[verb] + [subject] + [adjective]:[ tá ] + [ sé ] + [ fuar ]

We can use a prefix with the adjective meaning "very" which, in Irish, is "an-". ( Note the hyphen ).

a Nóra (said when addressing Nóra):
When addressing a person or thing directly, , one uses the word, "a", in front of that person's name. This is known as the VOCATIVE PARTICLE.  We may simply use the person's name on its own only if we are talking or writing ABOUT the person.

a Cháit : Notice what happens to Cáit's name when we use it in this way. The letter "h" is placed after the initial consonant. The addition of this letter "h", which changes the spelling and pronunciation of SOME nouns in Irish, is called LENITION. In this lesson, after the prefix ‘an-‘, a ‘h’ is also added in the case of:
 an-fhuar, an-fhliuch and an-gheal

Dia duit (good day): This is a common greeting in Ireland. Literally "God to you". The usual reply to this greeting is "Dia's Muire duit".
