The appearance of the country

Coltas na dùthcha

We first saw the preposition fo (under, below) at level B1 .

We see this preposition with indefinite nouns: fo fheasgar (before evening), fo mheas (in fruit), fo chùram (anxious).

There is a rule with this preposition that we need to learn. We must use sèimheachadh (lenition) with indefinite nouns that come after the preposition fo .

We see this preposition with an t-alt  (the definite article) as well and we have to follow the rules of an tuiseal tabhartach (the dative (prepositional) case): fon bhòrd (under the table), fon doras (under the door), fon uinneig (under the window).

And, we saw the riochdairean roimhearach (prepositional pronouns) in B1 Cuspair 20 .
