About this word

Síos is an adverb of direction that means [go / going] down.

Notes

Irish makes explicit, concise distinctions regarding directions of movement. The following is just a brief introduction.

These examples are all correct:

• Teir síos: go down.
• Teir suas: go up.
• Tar anuas: come down.
• Tar aníos: come up.

And these two (the commonest mistakes) are quite wrong:

• Tar síos: come down.
• Tar suas: come up.
