Etymology edit

From Middle Inglis, from Old English is, from Proto-Germanic *isti, a form of Template:Wt/sco/proto, from Template:Wt/sco/proto. Cognate with Wast Frisian is (“is”), Dutch is (“is”), German ist (“is”), Old Swedish is (“is”). The paradigm of "to be" has been since the time of Proto-Germanic a synthesis of four originally distinct verb stems. The infinitive form "to be" is from Template:Wt/sco/proto. The forms is and am are derived from Template:Wt/sco/proto whereas the form are comes from Template:Wt/sco/proto. Lastly, the past forms starting with "w-" such as was and were are from Template:Wt/sco/proto.

Usage notes edit

Used in present and future sentences for identification or definition of a subject as the person/object identified in the predicate of the sentence. Sometimes used with noun or adjective predicates, especially in certain fixed idiomatic phrases. It is not a verb.

In comparative/superlative formations, is is strictly speaking the relative of the copula, hence an buachaill is mó literally means "the boy who is biggest", i.e. "the biggest boy". The thing compared is introduced by ná (“than”).
