Ha hard to argue with a lot of that, but it is funny to see it spelled out! I would take issue with the below though:
But its not “I have hunger on me.” Its “ Is hunger on-me”
What we really say is “there is hunger on me”, since tá is the present tense form of bí. So we’re not missing verbs in sentences, we just use “there is” a lot. And of course we can “have” things in Irish, just not as a verb (definitely see where you’re coming from with our love of prepositions now ha)
