"Itheann an buachaill agus Pól arán."

Translation: The boy and Paul eat bread.

[Heithr]

We would more generally say "Paul and the boy eat bread." in English.

I typed in "Paul and the boy" without thinking since it sounds more natural! Obviously got it wrong ...

[Hart-Kevin]

Yes I opted for eat as well. It sounds more natural

THIS WORD ORDER IS SO CONFUSING!!!!!!!!!! D': D': D': D': D':

[-Madmartigan-]

It trips me up at times, too. I read it first as the boy eats and paul bread. Just takes a bit of practice.

[scilling]

The word order is VSO — verb (itheann), then subject (an buachaill agus Pól), then object (arán).

So, the only difference is that the verb goes to the very beginning. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! :D

I guess "the boy and Paul eats bread " is wrong. That little "s" is not liked I guess...
