"મારી પાસે પુસ્તક છે" is "Tá leabhar agam"

Gujarati keeps the book near you instead of owning it, exactly as Irish does. Extend it to feelings: "Tá ocras orm", "Tá brón orm".

from your first language

છે splits into two Irish verbs

"તે ડૉક્ટર છે" → "Is dochtúir é" (identity), but "તે ઘરે છે" → "Tá sé sa bhaile" (place). One Gujarati verb, two Irish ones.

Move the verb to the front

Gujarati is verb-final; Irish is verb-initial. "હું ચા પીઉં છું" → "Ólaim tae".

from your first language

Clean clusters and a long fada

Resist adding a vowel before s-clusters — "scoil" is not "iscoil". And give the fada its full length: "sean" and "Seán" are two different words.

Verb first (VSO word order)

Irish opens the sentence with the verb: "Ólaim tae" = I drink tea, "Itheann Seán arán" = Seán eats bread. Action, then who, then what.

core challenge

Two verbs "to be": tá vs is

tá describes a state or a place ("Tá mé tuirseach", "Tá mé sa bhaile"); is classifies or identifies ("Is dochtúir mé", "Is mise Seán"). "Tá mé dochtúir" is always wrong.
