Hello.
I'm learning Irish on duolingo and wiktionary.
duolingo says copula is "Is --- tú, Is --- é".
In wiktionary, é is disjunctive pronoun.
Also thú is disjunctive and tú is conjunctive.
What is "disjunctive pronouns"?
Why "Is --- thú" is wrong?

In standard Irish, I think they mainly use "thú" as the subject of "is" when it's at the end of the clause:
is bean thú.
In native spoken Irish, I think you can also use tú...

Hi Yuki,

from Wikipedia: "A disjunctive pronoun is a stressed form of a personal pronoun reserved for use in isolation or in certain syntactic contexts." See the article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjunctive_pronoun

Rather than get caught up in trying to understand the pronouns in that context, I think it would be better for you to understand the difference in usage as described at the following site:

There may be other comments from other people that will help you. Please wait for those comments.

Cheers,

The disjunctive is normally thu with a short vowel in pronunciation (whether or not that is shown in the orthography). Tu can appear after a dental. Is bean tu. I don't think it is wrong as such to say tu for thu, but it tends to be lenited as the disjunctive. In is tu, it is unlenited. Is tu a dhein neamh agus talamh (in addressing God). [It is worth noting that it is not is tu a dheinis neamh agus talamh.

Thanks everyone.
Your answers and advices are so useful to study.

The last message was spam and should be deleted. There is no word thú in Spanish. It is not a dialectal or poetical word. The poster is just spamming the list.

Deleted as it doesn't pertain to the subject of the thread.
