How It Works
Go dtí expresses a boundary in time or space: go dtí an stáisiún, go dtí amárach. Before clauses it participates in forms such as go dtí go.
Go dtí sets an endpoint in space or time. A following noun or time word supplies the boundary. When the endpoint is a whole event clause, a complementizer is needed in patterns such as go dtí go dtiocfaidh sí.
