In Ultaibh chualaidh mise "sin an fhadhb", mar sin réiteann sé an fhadhb, go díreach :darklaugh: :darklaugh: :darklaugh:

At least in Munster Irish you have to be quite careful about this sometimes as you can get sentences like:
Tá an bhó á marú agam.
but
Tá an bhó agam á mharú.

Sometimes the masculine pronoun is used when the noun is separated from the pronoun. Also sometimes the é
is used referring to the thing being discussed, rather than the noun itself, just as Breandán mentioned.

It means the exact same thing as:
Tá an bhó á marú agam

It's just that if you say the "agam" first the pronoun becomes masculine.

Seidh, mhínigh David Webb an rud céarna domh fosta. Tá sin suimeamhail ach ní dóigh liom go ndéarfaí sin ins na canamhaintí eile.

An bhfuil na réamhfhocail réimníthe "agam/agat..." ag an ndeireadh na habairte i gcónaí ins na canúintí eile? Tá a fhios agam go ndeirtear "dá" nó foirm eile den réamhfhocal "do" i n-abairtí leanúnacha céasta i nGaeilge Chonamara agus (b'fhéidir?) i nGaeilg Uladh, chomh fada agus a théann mo chuimhne.
