1. Language Work #8: Compression!
Kind of like contractions in English! Not bad!

2. Verb Review
Type I verbs have a one-syllable root: - glan – to clean - tóg – to take - fan – to wait - ól – to drink
Type II verbs have two-syllable roots: - ceannaigh [KYAN-ee] – to buy - brostaigh [BROS-tee] – to hurry - imigh [IM-ee] – to go away - éirigh [EY-ree] – to rise or get up

3. Past Tense Review
In both type I and type II verbs, you lenite the verb to do past tense: - glanann tú >> ghlan tú - ceannaíonn tú >> cheannaigh tú
To negate both type I and type II verbs, you lenite the verb in present and past tenses: - ní ghlanann tú >> níor ghlan tú - ní cheannaíonn tú >> níor cheannaigh tú

4. Compressing a Verb
Take a two-syllable root and lose final vowels Broad: - labhair >> labhraím, labhraíonn tú, etc. - codail >> codlaím, codlaíonn tú, etc. - ceangail >> ceanglaím, ceanglaíonn tú, etc. - freagair >> freagraím, freagraíonn tú, etc.
Slender: - inis >> insím, insíonn tú, etc. - imir >> imrím, imríonn tú, etc.
