I was asked by someone in our local chat session about when to use Ga i ( I can/ can I) and Medra i (I can). Although I interchange using both forms,I found that I could’nt give a good reason or explain why, has anybody got a simple and quick explanation I can give.Thanks.
There aren’t usually many of these…
It might help to think of ‘ga i’ (which comes from ‘cael’) as ‘may I’, whereas ‘medru’ is more to do with ability - but they do get used interchangeably a very great deal…
