Chuir sé a bheo i gcontúirt, he risked his life. Ní beo dó a bheo, life is not worth living for him. Lena bheo, during his lifetime. Dá mbeadh mo bheo i ngeall air, if my life depended on it. Leig siad a bheo leis, they granted him his life. Ní bheadh beo air go bhfuigheadh sé í, nothing would do him but to get her (for a wife). Ní raibh beo ann, there wasn't a soul in the place. Tá droch-bheo air acu, they are giving him a hard time.
