caith

Chaith sé a shaol ag ól, he drank all his life. Chaith sé an t-airgead, he spent the money. Chaith sé píopa tobaca, he smoked a pipeful of tobacco. Tá cuid a chaite ann, he will wear well. Níor chaith sé bia ná deoch, He took neither food nor drink. Caitheadh an chuirim, the feast was partaken of. Chaith sé cloch orm, liom, he threw a stone at me. Chaith sé an madadh, he shot the dog. Chuir sé chun a chaite é, he handed it (drink etc.) round. Prov: Tig an airdéise i ndiaidh an chaite, wilful waste makes woeful want. Chaith sé a cheann é, he gave up the idea. Chaith sé uaidh é, he threw it away.
