When commenting on the weather, the prepositional pronoun ann (in it) is very commonly used, sometimes – as in Unit 6 – with the assertive verb "is". Here are some examples. Note the use of the adjectives deagh and droch which, unusually in Gaelic, come before the noun they qualify. They also may cause lenition of the initial consonant in the noun – a sound change indicated by the inclusion of a letter "h" (see Unit 5).
- It’s raining.
- It’s a beautiful day.
- It’s a beautiful day.
- It’s a cold day.
- The weather is bad.
- The weather is good.
