How It Works

Use ar in many state expressions: Tá ocras orm; Tá áthas uirthi. Learn the noun and preposition together.

Irish often names a feeling or bodily state as a noun and places the experiencer in an ar phrase. Ocras is hunger, so Tá ocras orm expresses that I am hungry. Learn each expression as a phrase; ar does not form every English adjective describing a feeling.
