• This form is attached to first-conjugation verbs with stems ending in either a sender consonant or a vowel;
• Used in place of the pronoun sinn:

  feic + ‎-imid → ‎feicimid ‎(“we see”)

  súigh + ‎-imid → ‎súimid ‎(“we suck”) (stem sú-)

• In certain dialects, namely Ulster Irish, the synthetic is replaced with analytical present tense plus pronoun muid:

  Súnn muid ‎(“we suck”)
