Thanks. But why doesn't "í sin" come at the end in the Druid sentence since "é sin" comes at the end of the dog sentence?
Both sentences are different.
The dog sentence is a
classification (That is "
a" dog),
the druid sentence is an
identification (That is "
the" language of the druids.)
In
identification sentences demonstrative adjectives (e.g. in "an teanga seo") and demonstrative pronouns (like "í sin", "é seo", etc.) almost always come first.
It would sound strange putting them in the last position there.
(This would put too much emphasis on the other constituent, here "teanga na ndraoithe", which is rarely useful.)
In
classification sentences the class noun ("a dog") always comes first no matter what else occurs.
