The Mrs is trying to learn, just because she fancies the challenge.
Could anyone here explain the difference between Tá mé and Is mé please?

I know that - but please note - I'm not the one trying to learn the poxy lingo - can barely cope with my native!

The difference appears to be that "Ta" refers to something that could change. "Is" refers to something won't change.

A beautiful language. Can't remember a word of it though except "In anim an athar agus an Mick...."
