"Ithimid lón agus ólaimid fíon."

Translation: We eat lunch and we drink wine.

[brentv]

Should it be accepted to say "we eat lunch and drink wine" and not have to add the second we? It is implied already, is it not?

[laranidh]

It is implied, but the translation here should include the second "we". However, it will be accepted soon.

[brentv]

Great, thanks!

May I am mess it up, but, right after "but" and "because" you cannot repeat the pronoun (it is if the subject don't change); however, other cases you have the option.

Should it be accepted to say "We have lunch" ?

[CappyMcBrit]

Why is "we are eating lunch and we are drinking wine" incorrect?

[JimHeded]

I assume because to be + ing is a different time form. "We are eating" implies that the process is still ongoing right now while "we eat" can be a general statement

What is the difference between Ithimid and Itheann muid? On my last lesson it suggested the latter as an alternate translation, but marked it incorrect when i tried using it?

From Wikipedia:

Irish verb forms are constructed either synthetically or analytically.

Synthetic forms express the information about person and number in the ending: e.g., molaim "I praise", where the ending -aim stands for "1st person singular present". In this case, a pronoun is not allowed: * molaim mé is ungrammatical. Molann mé is allowed but using the -aim ending is more common.

Analytic forms are those whose endings contain no information about person and number, and a pronoun is necessary: e.g., molann sibh "you (pl.) praise", where the ending -ann expresses only the present tense, and the pronoun sibh "you" (pl.) must accompany it in order to express "2nd person plural".

I made a spelling error. Mostly my fingers est should be eat. Shouldn't it have been allowed
