I CANNOT GO TO BED THERE IS EPIC SHIT HAPPENING ON THE POLITICS.

And since I cannot go to bed, y'all get Irish now while I'm still awake, because I'm sure's fuck sleeping in tomorrow.

Naked Irish, for that matter. No cut tag for you.

The phrase 'is le' (Lit. is with) is used to indicate ownership.

Is le Seán an carr sin. That car belongs to Seán

Whent he personal forms of le (with) are used you have:

Is liom an leabhar sin. that book is mine.
Is leat é seo, is dócha. This is yours, presumably.
Is leis an rothar. That bike is his.
Is léi na leabhair. The books are hers.
Is linn anpháirc seo. This field is ours.
Is libh iad seo, nach ea? These are yours, aren't they?
Is leo an fheirm sin. That farm belongs to them.

These personal forms are often reinforced to liomsa, linne, etc. when they are being emphasised or contrasted with one another. Is is optional before these reinforced forms.

(Is) liomsa an leabhar seo.
Ní liomsa é.
(Is) liomsa é seo agus is leatsa é sin. This is mine and that is yours.
(Is) leis-sean é. It is his.
Ní léise iad. They aren't hers.
(Is) linne an talamh seo. This land is ours.

Here is how you ask if somebody owns something:

An leatsa an cóta seo? Is this coat yours?
Is liom. Go raibh maith agat. Yes. Thanks.
Ní liom. Is le Máire é. No. It's Mary's.

An leatsa na bróga dubha? Are these black shoes yours?
Ní liom. Is liomsa na cinn bhuí. No. The tan ones are mine.
