The chapter describes the usage of plural nouns, and presents comparison of the use of tá and is. In Irish, to express a relationship between two nouns, people use the “genitive” spelling of a word for the second noun. In English, usually place of between the nouns or use 's. In Irish, the noun describing the main noun is placed second. It often has changes in spelling as required in the genitive case.
