Do these all involve the verb scríobh?

Answer

1. Chum mé dán inné.
2. Chum mé dán di inné.
3. Scríobh mé litir chuici inné.
4. Scríobh mé dán i mo leabhar nótaí inné. (or, Bhreac mé síos dán...)
5. Scríobh mé faoi dhán a léigh mé inné.
6. Scríobh mé dán ar an chlár dhubh inné.

When you mean "write" in the sense of "compose" (e.g. a poem or a song), you use the verb "cum"; you only use "scríobh" if you're actually referring to the physical act of recording it on paper (or whatever medium you're writing on).

Answer

I meant to write, "Scríobh mé dán inné. ????" Aiste means an essay, right? Blarg.
