    If i was constructing a sentence in the módh coinníolach when do I use Má and when do I use dá?

    Msh. Bheadh áthas orm má/dá buóinn/buóidh mé an cluiche ceannais.

    Bhainfinn taitneamh as má/dá bhí/bheadh an aimsir go breá.

    What here is correct?

    ní úsáideann tú 'má' in san Aimsir Fháistineach ariamh

    Caithfidh mé - i must - will spend/throw/wear
    Má chaitheann mé - if i must/spend/throw/wear

    Beidh mé - I will be
    Má bhíonn mé - If i am/ if i will be
