I DIE.

Although there is a regular verb,, die, in Irish it is not often used; the phrase , I find death, is usually employed now. The following examples will illustrate the construction:—

I OWE.

There is no verb “owe” in Irish. Its place is supplied by saying “There is a debt on a person. ”


 * &emsp; I owe.

Whenever the amount of the debt is expressed the word is usually omitted and the sum substituted.
