Just noticed piobar spelling when pepper is the object in the sentence. Only met piobAIR before. Is this correct?
Piobar is the correct nominative-accusative (subject and direct object form). Some exercises had (or still have?) piobair – this is a mistake in those exercises.
piobair is the genitive, it means of pepper, pepper’s.
(BTW, even though in English translation pepper is the object – in this Gaelic sentence piobar is the subject, it literally means something like pepper is not a-delight with me or pepper is not pleasant with me)
Mòran taing. I'm up to Food 2 on the course and up till now it has always been the genitive that I have seen. Your explanation is great and I'll try to "unlearn" this now.
