"Táim á mbailiú."

Translation: I am collecting them.

[M22046]

How do I know the difference between "I am collecting them," and "I am collecting it"? The gloss for á gives both it and them.

[soupandbread]

'I am collecting it' would be: 'táim á bhailiú/bailiú' depending on the gender of the "it" in question.

"i am gathering them" - why is this wrong

[scilling]

It’s correct for some meanings of bailigh, so given the lack of context for the sentence, it’s treated as being wrong because the course creators didn’t anticipate it as being a possible correct answer.
