Yesterday when I was out I got Galatea by Madeline Miller, after a friend had recommended it to me. I started reading it last night and finished it today, I will post a review with my opinions in a few days. Today I got a lot done, I did read first thing in the morning (currently reading 1984 by Orwell, and it's taking me so long to finish). I read and annotated three chapters of the book by Kuhn I have to study for my philosophy of science class, and I also practiced Irish on duolingo and continued working on my Irish grammar notebook. I also plan on starting a vocabulary notebook, cause my memory is not that great, and writing down things helps my learning so much. Tonight I also hope to have a bit of time for a writing session as I still have to finish my short story for this month (for those who don't know I am challenging myself to write a short story each month this year).

February productivity challenge // Day 23: What's a gift you'd give to someone if you don't know them all too well?

Not easy. It definitely depends on the person. A classic small gift for someone I don't know much is some kind of bracelet. But as I was saying it depends on who the person it. A nice notebook could also be a good idea.

Tranquil's study challenge 2022 // Day Eight: Do you like reading outside? Take a picture of your current read outside (or you studying if you aren't reading anything!)

ALL ABOUT VERBS!

“Caol le caol agus leathan le leathan.” / “Slender with the slender and broad with the broad.”

This is a saying that’s meant to help group vowels. The slender (caol) vowels are: e, i; and the broad (leathan) vowels are: a, o, u. The rule is this: the vowels on either side of any consonant should match (both must be broad or both must be slender).

i.e., The last vowel in dún is broad, so you’d use broad endings to conjugate it. The last vowel in bris is slender, so you’d use slender endings to conjugate it.

I. The First Conjugation. In the present tense the ending is, generally, added directly onto the stem of the word.

i.e., practice verbs: dún - close, ól - drink, bris - break

dúnaim - I close

dúnann sé - he closes

brisim - I break

briseann sé - he breaks

ólaimid - we drink

In present tense verbs, mé and muid aren’t often used & can be incorporated into their verb to make the ‘synthetic form’.

II. The Second Conjugation. The words come with a root and a stem. To conjugate them, you remove the stem and replace it with an appropriate ending.

i.e., practice verbs: bailigh, ceannaigh, oacail, and inis

bailíonn tú - you collect

ceannaímid - we buy

insím - I tell

osclaíonn sibh - you open

III. Irregular Verbs. Only 11 of these babies! Some of them can appear regular, but they all have at least one tense where they don’t obey the standard rules.

abair - say

beir - bear/carry/bring

bí - be

clois - hear

déan - do/make

feic - see

faigh - get

ith - eat

tabhair - give

tar - come

To preface my notes, Duolingo says that this course is done in the Connacht dialect.

These are some of the notes I took during a review/strengthening exercise.

Itheann sé úll.  He eats an apple.

Is cailín mé. (Sounds vaguely like ‘Is callin’ me’.)  I am a girl.

Is cailín í agus is buachaill mé.  She is a girl and I am a boy.

Ithim arán agus ólaim usice. (Ithim ahran ahgus ohlaim ishke.)  I eat bread and drink water.
