Mo chuach thú! I love you!
Chuach sé faoina ascaill é, he bundled it under his arm.
Chuach sí in airde a cuid gruaige, she rolled up her hair.
Chuach sé é féin faoin éadach, he curled himself under the (bed-)clothes.
Chuach sí lena hucht é, she hugged him to her breast.
Chuach sé an t-anam asam, he squeezed the life out of me.
An chuach ag ~m, the cuckoo calling.
Mar a labhraíonn an chuach, where the cuckoo calls.
