Is toil le Ronja is Ronaldo a’ chèidse aca.
(Ronja and Ronaldo like their cage.)
MÀIRI
Tha sin math. Ach tha bonn na cèidse sin salach.
(That’s good. But the bottom of the cage is dirty.)
MÀRTAINN
Glanaidh mi a’ chèidse a-màireach.
(I’ll clean the cage tomorrow.)
MÀRTAINN
Càit a bheil Elsie an-diugh?
(Where is Elsie?)
MÀIRI
Tha Elsie air a dhol gu dìnnear le caraid.
(Elsie is out for dinner with a friend.)
MÀRTAINN
Tha an t-acras orm.
(I’m hungry.)
MÀIRI
Tha an t-acras ormsa cuideachd. Tha sinn a dol a dh’ithe piotsa.
(I’m hungry too. We’re going to eat pizza.)
MÀRTAINN
Sgoinneil!
(Brilliant!)
MÀIRI
An dèan sinn picnic?
(Will we make it a picnic?)
MÀRTAINN
Ni!
(Yes!))
MÀIRI
Uill, tha basgaid ri taobh a’ bhùird anns a’ chidsin. An toir thu a’ bhasgaid an seo mas e do thoil e? Agus nigh do làmhan!
(Well, there’s a basket beside the table in the kitchen. Will you take the basket here please?)
MÀIRI
An cuir thu seo aig ceann a’ bhùird, air an taobh sin? Sin e!
(Will you put this at the head of the table, on that side?)
MAIRI
Thoir dhomh an truinnsear.
(Give me the plate.)
MÀRTAINN
Tha am pathadh orm a-nise.
(I’m thirsty now)
MAIRI
Tha am pathadh ormsa cuideachd. Tha siuga uisge ri taobh an t-sinc. An toir thu thugam e mas e do thoil e?
(I’m thirsty too. There’s a jug of water beside the sink. Will you take it to me please?)
MÀRTAINN
An toir mi a-mach am piotsa?
(Will I take out the pizza?)
MÀIRI
Gheibh mise am piotsa. Tha am bobhla salad ri taobh na h-uinneige. Am faigh thu sin dhomh?
(I’ll get the pizza. The bowl of salad is beside the window. Will you get that for me?)
MAIRI
Sin e! Tapadh leat.
(That’s it. Thank you.)
MÀRTAINN
Tha mi sgìth agus tha an t-acras mòr orm. Is toil leam piotsa. An toil leibhse salad?
(I’m tired and I’m really hungry. I like pizza. Do you like salad.)
