When you use an adjective to describe a noun, the adjective usually comes after the noun.<\/em>
\nRemember:<\/p>\n

\"\"Madainn mhath!<\/span> Good morning!<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Feasgar math!<\/span> Good afternoon!<\/h1>\n

If the noun is feminine,<\/em> the sound and spelling of the adjective can change.
\nMar eisimpleir:
\nMasculine nouns:<\/p>\n

Calum beag <\/span>
\nlittle Calum<\/span><\/h3>\n

geansaidh m\u00f2r <\/span>
\na big jumper<\/span><\/h3>\n

Feminine nouns:<\/p>\n

Anna bheag <\/span>
\nlittle Anna<\/span><\/h3>\n

l\u00e8ine mh\u00f2r <\/span>
\na big shirt<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

Colours are adjectives too and therefore, the same rules apply. Mar eisimpleir:<\/p>\n

geansaidh<\/span> dearg<\/span>
\na<\/span> red<\/span> jumper<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

l\u00e8ine dhearg<\/span>
\na red<\/span> shirt<\/span><\/h3>\n

Therefore, we can tell that the word l\u00e8ine<\/em> is feminine<\/em><\/span> and that geansaidh<\/strong> is masculine<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
