    Cardinal : sé

Pronunciation

sé

  1. six
Usage notes
  • May be used with nouns in both the singular and plural; the singular is more common in general, but the plural must be used with units of measurement and the like. Triggers lenition of nouns in the singular and h-prothesis of nouns in the plural:
  • sé chat ― six cats
  • sé troithe ― six feet
  • sé huaire ― six times
  • When used with the definite article, the definite article is always in the plural. When used with nouns modified by adjectives, the adjective is also in the plural and is always lenited after nouns in the singular but only lenites after nouns in the plural when they end in slender consonants:
  • sé chapall bhána ― six white horses
  • na sé eaglais mhóra ― the six big churches
But:
  • sé capaill bhána ― six white horses
  • na sé heaglaisí móra ― the six big churches
  • When referring to human beings, the personal form seisear is used.
