In Lesson 14, we looked at the way we say we have something in Manx.
For instance:
Ta thie eck (ta-TY-eck) - She has a house (There is a house at
her).
This 'at' construction used to be heard very often in the English
spoken on the Island. Listing most of the 'at' words you need:
aym (emm) - at me
ayd (edd) - at you (speaking to one person)
echey (EGG-a) - at him or at it
eck (eck) - at her or at it
ain (ine) - at us
eu (EH-oo) - at you
(speaking to more than one person or to one person in a polite way:
say 'eh' as in the beginning of 'egg' then say 'oo' quickly)
oc (ock) - at them
