sa

  1. Contraction of i + an.
    Tá an fear sa bhád. — The man is in the boat
    Tá na páistí ag súgradh sa tsráid. — The children are playing in the street.
    Táimid inár suí sa seomra (or) tseomra. — We are sitting in the room.

Usage notes[edit]

This contraction is obligatory, i.e. *i an never appears uncontracted. Used before consonant sounds only. Triggers lenition of b, c, f, g, m, and p in Munster varieties and eclipsis in the Ulster and Connacht varieties. Changes initial s to ts in feminine nouns and, in some varieties, masculine nouns.
