cosúil

Ce leis a bhfuil sé cosúil? Who is he like? Is cosúil nach dtáinig sé, he must not have come. Tá sé cosúil lena mháthais, he is like his mother. Is beag acu atá cosúil leis, he has very few equals. Is cosúil le duine thú a mbeadh imní air, you look as if you were worried. Más gaolmhar ní cosúil, if they are related they are not like each other (in looks, character, conduct). Is cosúil nach bhfuil airgead ar bith aige, he can’t have any money. [“Is cosúil” amounts almost to a certainty. It is often wrongly used for “is dóigh” and “b’fhéidir”].
