Knowing a Fact

Level 4

Tá a fhios agam expresses knowledge of a fact and can introduce a clause: Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil sí anseo.

How It Works

Tá a fhios agam expresses knowledge of a fact and can introduce a clause: Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil sí anseo.

The expression a fhios with bí and ag conveys knowledge of information. A following complement can name the known fact. This differs from personal acquaintance with aithne ar; use the construction that matches what or whom is known.
