Going to a Destination

Level 2

Chuig introduces a destination, person or event: chuig an siopa, chuig Nóra. It does not simply replace every use of go.

How It Works

Chuig introduces a destination, person or event: chuig an siopa, chuig Nóra. It does not simply replace every use of go.

The simple preposition chuig directs movement or an action towards a person, place or event. Before the article, keep chuig followed by the article phrase, as in chuig an siopa.
