Etymology 1

From Old Irish dïa (if, when). Cognate with Scottish Gaelic nan (if, whether).

Conjunction

(triggers eclipsis of a following consonant and takes the dependent form of irregular verbs)

  1. if
    gcuirfeann sé fearthainne anois, d’osclófainn mo scáth fearthainne.
    If it were raining now, I would open my umbrella.
    dtéiteá ar an aonach, b’fhéidir leat gamhain a dhíol.
    If you had gone to the market, you could have sold a calf.
  2. when (relative, with past tenses)
    raibh sé ann
    one day when he was there
Usage notes
  • Used in counterfactual conditionals with the conditional or past subjunctive.
  • In the meaning ‘when’ used virtually only in the past tense after the word (day), in Early Modern Irish also with feacht (time, occasion); in other contexts, especially at the head of sentence, nuair or an tan is used instead.
Alternative forms

  • (if) (in factual conditionals)
  • mura (unless; if...not)
