Conditional (Would)
We already know how to use
or
to say 'would' in English, for example we can say.
Yinnin goll dys scoill dy jinnagh oo goll - I would go to school if
you would go.
As usual in Manx there is an alternative (better) way of doing this
by changing the endings of regular verbs and dreaming up exciting alternative
versions of irregular ones.
Verb Conditional Dependent (Negative, Question etc)
cheet - harrin / harragh darrin / darragh
goll - raghin / ragh raghin / ragh
gra - yiarrin / yiarragh jirrin / jirragh
jannoo - yinnin / yinnagh jinnin / jinnagh
fakin - heein / heeagh vaikin / vaikagh
clashtyn - cluinin / cluinagh chluinin / chluinagh
cur - verrin / verragh derrin / derragh
goaill - ghoin / ghoghe goin / goghe
geddyn - yioin / yiogh voin / voghe
ta - veign / veagh beign / beagh
The - in
ending always applies to the first person singular (me, I) and the -
ending applies to everybody else including (us - shin).
Similarly for regular verbs the rule is find the root as normal, add
-
or -
as appropriate and you have the conditional tense. For the question
or negative mutate it (as in the future tense).
- to break (root - Brish)
Brishin eh - I would break it
Brishagh shin eh - We would break it
Nagh vrishin eh ? - Would I not break it?
Cha vrishagh eh mish - It would not break me.
Nagh drogagh oo eh ? - Wouldn't you lift it?
Darragh oo dys shen reesht? - Would you come there again?
Raghin dys shoh dy mennick - I would go here often.
Cha jirrin shen ayns Doolish - I wouldn't say that in Douglas
Jinnagh oo gra shen? - Would you say that?
Heeagh ad yn moddey - They would see the dog
Nagh chluinagh shin yn kiaulleeaght? - Wouldn't we hear the music?
Cha derragh ad lhieu eh - They wouldn't bring it.
Ghoin arrane 'sy cheeill - I would sing in the church
Cha voghe ad magh yn firrinys - They wouldn't find out the truth
Remember that when linking two parts of a conditional sentence together
where in English you would use
in Manx you would use
or
instead. See lesson 13 for further examples.
