Tha e comasach dhomh

It's possible for me

To talk about things that are or aren’t possible, we can use the adjective comasach (able, capable) with the preposition do (to, for).

As with urrainn, where there is no direct object, the verbal noun comes directly after do (to, for).

A bheil e comasach do Mhàiri seinn aig a’ bhanais?

Is it possible for Màiri to sing at the wedding?

Tha. Tha e comasach do Mhàiri seinn aig a’ bhanais.

Yes. It is possible for Màiri to sing at the wedding.

and with a prepositional pronoun

A bheil e comasach dhut seinn aig a’ bhanais?

Is it possible for you to sing at the wedding?

Tha. Tha e comasach dhomh seinn aig a’ bhanais.

Yes. It is possible for me to sing at the wedding.

But again—just as we saw with urrainn in the previous section—when we have a direct object, we use inversion.

A bheil e comasach dhut òran a sheinn aig a’ bhanais?

Is it possible for you to sing a song at the wedding?

Tha. Tha e comasach dhomh òran a sheinn aig a’ bhanais.

Yes. It is possible for me to sing a song at the wedding.
