Mum choinneamh

Opposite me

If we want to use pronouns: mi, thu, e, i, sinn, sibh, iad with compound prepositions, we need to use a combined form mum (mu mo) choinneamh (opposite me). With compound prepositions we typically just add the possessive adjectives mo, do, a, a/a h–, ar/ar n–, ur/ur n–, an/am between the two parts of the compound preposition:
