Ach cinnte, tá sé seo ceart freisin.

Níl sé beo- isn't that the same as Tá sé fear

shouldn't it be- Ní rud beo é

Why? beo is an adjective. Níl sé beo is no stranger than níl sé óg.

I don't know, I was just wandering- Níl sé beo looks like níl sé fear.

Wandering all over the neighbourhood, more like! :LOL:

It doesn't matter what they "look like" - Fear is a noun, so it can't be used in a tá sé ... construction, true enough, you'd need to use is as in is fear é, but beo is an adjective and tá sé beo is a perfectly normal sentence.


:LOL:

2) Níl sé déanta as adhmad.
3)Níl sé déanta as miotal
4) Níl sé nios mó ná bosca aráin.
5)Níl sé déanta as plaisteach.
6) Tá - faightear sa theach é.

I don't think you can just use tá as a replacement for all "yes" answers. :no:

You need to repeat the verb from the question:

An bhfaightear sa teach é? Faightear/ní fhaightear

An léann daoine é? Léann/Ní léann

'Tá' and 'níl' only work when replying to 'an bhfuil....'
