"Tá sé sin spéisiúil."

Translation: That is interesting.

What about "suimiúil"? I was taught that "suimiúil" means "interesting". Are they synonymous?

[PatHargan]

'Suimiúil' does mean 'interesting' as well. Ó Dónaill gives 'neat and clean; comely, attractive' as the primary meaning of 'spéisiúil', and 'interesting as its second meaning. http://breis.focloir.ie/en/fgb/sp%C3%A9isi%C3%BAil

Do you always have to use the pronoun when you use "sin"? I was wondering since you don't do that in any other language that I know.

[SatharnPHL]

When "that" (or "those" or ) is being used as a pronoun, you usually use it with an actual pronoun in Irish.

Sometimes the pronoun comes before sin, and when "that" is the object of a verb, or you are using the copula, you use the object form of the pronoun.

Sin é an bhrionglóid
Sin é an réiteach ar an bhfadhb
Ní maith liom é sin
Is fíor é sin
Rinneamar é sin inné

Thanks! That's very interesting!

Unrelated question: How do you create italicized text? I can make bold and bold italic, but I haven’t figured out how to make something just italic!

How would I say "He is that interesting"

Would it be "Is sin spéisiúil é"?

[pinkfreud]

"Tá sé comh spéisiúil le sin".

Why not "that is special"?

[sean.mullen]

Spéisiúil doesn't mean "special", it means "interesting." Speisialta is "special."
