Irish Translation Forum

I always thought that "conas" was a form of the copula. I never heard anything like "is conas..." or "an conas...". I think your example is a better one.

Editing wikibooks is very easy. You don't even have to register (although it's a good idea). It uses a syntax that's similar to HTML, but simpler. Here's a quick guide:

At the moment, the book badly needs some organisation. It's a loose collection of useful information, but it

needs some structure before it could be used on its own to learn Irish. It would be fantastic if someone could figure out a good overall structure for the a complete guide to learning Irish, impose that structure on what's there, and maybe create sections where needed with TODO notes about what should go in that section. I'm happy to help with formatting and technical stuff like that. The problem is that I'm so preoccupied with the trees (putting tidbits of info into the book) that I can't see the forest!
