Irish

Verb

faca

1. past indicative dependent analytic of feic

   Ceapaim go bhfaca sé an madra.‎

Usage notes

• Always occurs either lenited or eclipsed depending on the preverbal particle:

  Ní fhaca mé.‎ ― I didn’t see.

  an áit a bhfaca mé an buachaill inti‎ ― the place where I saw the boy

• Takes the forms of preverbal particles normally associated with the present tense, such as go, an, and nach, rather than gur, ar, and nár:

  An bhfaca tú?‎ ― Did you see?

  Nach bhfaca tú?‎ ― Didn’t you see?
