Irish

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈaɾˠsˠə/, (unstressed) /əɾˠsˠə/

Verb

arsa

1. said, says

   “Suigh síos”, arsa mise.

   “Sit down”, I said.

   “Tá go maith”, arsa Brian.

   “Very well”, says Brian.

Usage notes

• If used with a subject pronoun, the pronoun is usually in the emphatic form (mise, tusa, seisean etc.).
• Some grammar books prescribe that arsa is to be used only with first- and second-person pronouns (as well as with nouns), while ar is to be used with third-person pronouns. In practice, however, arsa seisean (“said he”), arsa sise (“said she”) and arsa siadsan (“said they”) are all widely used.
