  1. The joys of the Irish language, #gaeilge .

    There are few irregular verbs, only 11 allegedly. Many of them are very irregular, however. And those are the most common verbs in the language, not unexpectedly.
    A verb can have one form in present tense, and a different, seemingly unrelated form in questions, relative clauses and negations. Then further different forms in past tense and so on.
