in this video we're going to be looking at one particular aspect
of the Irish verb Caith, so Caith is a really useful verb it may well
be the best verb in the entire Irish
language because it's so flexible and it has so many meanings
Caith can mean to spend to smoke to wear as well as some other meanings too
and I've made a video on the Irish verb Caith andI''ll leave a
link in the description if you would like to check that out
but what we're focusing on today is the future tense of
Caith and that is Caithfidh so if you said Caithfidh mé that could mean
I have to I must or I need to, so you can make lots of great
sentences if you have this phrase and you use the
appropriate pronouns, let's look at some examples now
Caithfidh siad tosú ón tús ar fad - they have to start from the very beginning
Caithfidh mé a rá go bhfuil sé go hiontach = I have to say it is wonderful
Caithfidh tú é a dhéanamh = you must do it or you have to do it
here's a great tip when using Caithfidh, let's take some verbal nouns then get
rid of the ag and then you have the potential to make
a really useful and a really substantial sentence, let me show you
what I mean, let's look at these two verbal nouns here
ag cleachtadh and ag smaoineamh so ag cleachtadh is
practicing and ag smaoineamh is thinking so if we just get rid of the ag we're
left with cleachtadh and smaoineamh
and this is what we're going to use now to create our next two sentences
Caithfidh tú cleachtadh = you have to practice or you must practice
Caithfidh mé smaoineamh ar feadh nóiméad = I have to think for a moment
so by just losing the ag part of the verbal noun you have the
potential to make some really great phrases and really great sentences
let's look at another one ag imeacht means
leaving or exiting ag imeacht, so here's a phrase now without the ag
Caithfidh mé imeacht anois = I have to leave now or I must leave now
