Ainmfhocail - Tuisil 7 Inscin (Nouns - Cases & Gender)

Na Tuisil (the Cases)

An Tuiseal Ainmneach: Nominative case - marks the subject of a verb
An Tuiseal Cuspóireach: Accusative case - marks the direct object of a transitive verb (most verbs)
An Tuiseal Gairmeach: Vocative case - identifies a person/animal/object, etc. being addressed
An Tuiseal Tabharthach: Dative case – prepositional; “in/on/at/over/above/below/of/from/etc.”
An Tuiseal Ginideach: Genitive case - marks a noun as modifying another noun

An tAinmneach Uatha (Ainmneach & Cuspóireach (singular) follow the same rules in Irish)

• Cuireann an t-alt séimhiú ar Ainmfhocail Bhaininscneacha (consain: b, c, f, g, m, p) (the
definite article, “the”, requires a séimhiú on Feminine Nouns that start with
consonants)
• Cuireann an t-alt “t” roimh Ainmfhocail Bhaininscneacha dar tús “s”. (the definite article,
“the”, requires a “t” on Feminine Nouns that start with “s”)
• Cuireann an t-alt “t-” roimh Ainmfhocail Fhirinscneacha dar tús guta. (the definite article,
“the”, requires a “t-” on Masculine Nouns that start with vowels)

An tAinmneach Iolra. (Aimneach & Cuspóireach plural)
• “Na” is ea foirm an ailt san Ainmneach Iolra. Cuireann sé “h” roimh ghutaí. (The spelling
“na” is always used for “the” in plurals. It adds a “h” before words that begin with
vowels)

Treoracha ginearálta chun ainmfhocail bhaininscneacha a aithint.

1. Ainmfhocail a chríochnaíonn ar chonsan caol. (áit, agóid, tír, cathair, Dáil, Eaglais, fuil,
   7rl.) (nouns ending with slender consonants) Eisceachtaí (exceptions): focail a chríochnaíonn ar
   -aeir/-éir, -eoir/-óir, -úir, -ín (mar shampla: grósaeir, bádóir, cainteoir, cailín, ceirnín, cipín) agus
   focail mar athair, uncail, deartháir, buachaill, droim, greim.
2. Ainmfhocail a chríochnaíonn ar -eog/-óg nó ar -lann, (m.sh: fuinneog, leadóg, amharclann)
3. Ainmfhocail ilsiollacha (multi-syllabic nouns) a chríochnaíonn ar -acht/-íocht, (áilleacht,
   eolaíocht, cleasaíocht, filíocht, iarracht, mallacht, fealsúnacht, fiosracht, 7rl) (“smacht” and
   “ceacht” are therefore masculine because they have only one syllable)

5. Ainmfhocail teibí (abstract nouns) a chríochnaíonn ar -e/í, (airde, déirce, gile, laige,
