the vocative doesn't always mean you're calling or asking the person/thing to come, but that you say his/her/its name before telling him/her/it something :)


Tá's 'am. :D

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

The exceptions, words like "loch" you're never going to be calling to anyway!

Surely someone must have used the vocative of loch at some stage for people to know now that it is irregular? :aingeal:

Oh I explained that badly!
Lughaidh already mentioned the context, but also I made it sound like the nouns were irregular, but really
they're just masculine nouns in the 3rd declension. (gentive formed via adding -a + broaden final consonant, for anybody reading, i.e. an feirmeoir, bó an feirmeora).
