Hello yall! The suffix -idh and -fidh confuses me.

I have seen it said that the suffix -idh can be pronounced \ee\

I have also seen it said that dh is \y\ when slender and \g\ when broad, thus -idh should make a \y\ sound.

However, I have then seen, for example cruinneóidh where this is pronounced \krin-gy-ohg\. I have written in my notes that -idh is a "palatized g", whatever that means lol.

On the reading of future tense irregular verbs here: http://www.nualeargais.ie/foghlaim/irre ... hp?teanga=

the -idh is always \ee\ and -fidh seems to be \hee\. I like this consistency. However, the f making an \h\ sound is strange, I don't think i've seen that mentioned anywhere else.

I realize Irish has different dialects, and perhaps all these options are okay under certain circumstances, but I just wanted to post this here to see if I could get some insights from anybody.

Any feedback helps! I appreciate y'all so much!

You have to learn properly by going systematically through a book.

-idh is usually a palatalised g, but is often just nothing. Glanfaidh - will clean - is glanhig, but glanfaidh sé - he will clean - is glanhi shay. The g is omitted before pronouns.

It is not the correct approach to dip into every tense that you have not learnt. You need to learn properly.

Alright fine, I'll do it lol. But under one condition: You send me a pdf of the grammar book you would recommend most.
