Irish verb forms are constructed either synthetically or analytically. Synthetic forms express the information about person and number in the ending: e.g., "I praise", where the ending ''-aim'' stands for "1st person singular present". In this case, a pronoun is not allowed: is ungrammatical. ''Molann mé'' is allowed but using the ''-aim'' ending is more common. Analytic forms are those whose endings contain no information about person and number, and a pronoun is necessary: e.g., "you (pl.) praise", where the ending ''-ann'' expresses only the present tense, and the pronoun "you" (pl.) must accompany it in order to express "2nd person plural". In addition to the three persons, Irish also has an impersonal form (also called the "autonomous" form), which is used in forming passives and can conveniently be translated with "one" or "someone" as the subject. Shown below are the distribution of synthetic and analytic forms in the standard language; in the dialects, other patterns may be found. See Irish orthography for a discussion of how verb endings are pronounced. ==Regular verbs== There are two conjugation classes of regular verbs, as illustrated below. Note that in the "historical" tenses (the imperfect, preterite, and conditional), a consonant-initial stem undergoes lenition, while a vowel-initial stem is prefixed by ''d’''. A stem beginning with ''f'' plus vowel takes both, e.g., "wait", "he waited". (Exception: the preterite impersonal neither undergoes lenition nor receives ''d’''.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Irish conjugation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
