Sampla(í) Úsáide: Guth binn, a musical voice. Is binn liom do ghlór, I like your proposal. Prov: An rud nach binn le duine ní chluin sé é, we pretend not to hear what is not pleasing to us.

bíodh
Sampla(í) Úsáide: Let it be. Bíodh aige, don’t bother with it. Tá droch-dhóigh air – murab fhuil bíodh aige, he is in a bad way – he is if anyone ever was. Bíodh sin aige, he deserves his punishment. Bíodh sé in m’áit, if he were in my place. An raibh eagla ort? – mur raibh bíodh agam, were you afraid? – you bet I was. Tá airgead aige – bíodh sin aige, he has money – what about it? Buaileadh é – bíodh sin aige, he was beaten — that will put manners on him.
