How It Works

The basic subject pronouns include mé, tú, sé, sí, muid, sibh and siad. Sinn is also a first-person plural form; pronoun choice can reflect variety.

Pronouns normally follow the finite verb. Tú addresses one person and sibh more than one. Sé and sí refer to he or she; noun reference can also reflect grammatical gender. Muid and sinn are both first-person plural forms, with distributions depending on the construction and variety.
