Second-Conjugation Conditional

Level 4

Second-conjugation conditional forms include cheannódh and d'imreodh. Person-specific endings and initial changes must be learned with the verb.

How It Works

Second-conjugation conditional forms include cheannódh and d'imreodh. Person-specific endings and initial changes must be learned with the verb.

Second-conjugation conditional stems use endings such as -ódh and -eodh. Ceannaigh gives cheannódh, and imir gives d'imreodh in an ordinary affirmative clause. Personal endings can include the subject, so the full paradigm matters as well as the third-person form.
