==Nouns==
The Thensarian relativizer ''ri'' turned into a genitive marker: ''an scain ri h-Aodhàn'' (Aodhàn's friend).
Prepositions inflect the same way as in Tíogall. ''ri'' however uses the inflected forms of ''le'' (to): my = ''ri lion'', your = ''ri leis'', ... Casual Bhadhagha developed a new inflectional paradigm for ''ri'': ''ríon, rís, riú, rí, ríom, ríod, ríoc, ríor''.
==Copula==
Bhadhagha has a copula ''laidh'' which inflects regularly in the present tense (but the past tense is ''g'laidh'' even in casual Bhadhagha). Nominal or adjectival predicates after the copula have to be preceded by ''de'' (in): ''Lanna de dhúbhóinn'' (I'm a teacher), ''Lú d'íon'' (It's blue).
As in Welsh, the copula is also used with progressive verbs: ''Laidh an dúbhóinn d'éinteach'' (The teacher is sleeping).
==Verbs==
The Bhadhagha verbal system is very different from Tíogall, and much closer to [Coetel gib].
For one thing, Bhadhagha analogized the analytic forms of verbs to all persons, and fused the personal pronoun with the verb:
<poem>
molaigh ná -> molanna "I thank"
molaigh fiar -> molair "thou thankest"
molaigh hú -> molù "he thanks"
molaigh hí -> molaì "she thanks"
molaigh -> molaigh or mola ''... thanks'' (with nonpronominal subjects)
molaigh gámh -> molamh "we thank" (both exc. and inc.!)
molaigh séid -> molaid "ye thank"
molaigh hár -> molar "they thank"
Impersonal: molaobh "one thanks"
</poem>
The past tense is marked by a séimhiú on the verb as in Irish, except that the suffixes are the same as in the present tense. This comes from a construction that translates to "it was the case that ...", which also survives in [Coetel gib]. Even non-lenitable consonants get aspirated in casual Bhadhagha, though in the written language a particle is used when the first consonant isn't lenitable.
The future tense however has a special set of suffixes, derived from the Old Tíogall future tense:
<poem>
moltanna, moltair, moltù, moltaì, moltamh, moltaid, moltar
</poem>
Bhadhagha is not split-ergative, unlike Tíogall.
Perfect tenses use the construction ''tainn'' ('after', often pronounced ''tann'') followed by the verbal noun.
