Yoga & Wellness

1. An bhfuil rang yoga ann inniu?

   Is there a yoga class today?

   Usage

2. Cén t-am a thosaíonn an seisiún maidine?

   What time does the morning session start?

   Usage

   Grammar Note

   "Cén" is the question word "what/which"; "t-am" is the vowel-initial masculine noun "am" with the nominative t-prefix. A noun modifying another noun goes into the genitive, so "maidin" becomes "maidine"
