The preposition "ag" (at) will combine with "mé" (I or me) to form "agam" (at me). The
preposition is combined with the pronouns "mé, tú, sé,sí, etc." into one word. This feature with
"agam", "agat","againn", etc. also form an idiom that means "having". "Tá cóta agat" literally
means: "The coat is at you", but really means "You have the coat". This mixing of prepositions
with the pronouns also works with the preposition "le" (with). For example:
with le leh
with me liom lyum
with us linn lyinn
with you leat lyat
with you (plural) libh liv
with him/on it leis lesh
with them leo loe
with her léi lay-hee
"Le" means "with", but it can also be used as a idiom which means to own.
Here are some different ways that "le" is used:
I'm here with Martin. Tá mé anseo le Máirtín. tah may unshaw leh mar-tcheen
I agree with Martin (I am with Martin) Tá mé le Máirtín. tah may leh mar-tcheen
I own that new car. (car is with me) Tá carr nua seo liom. tah carr nooah shaw lyum
Health with you! Slán leat! shlahn lyaht
