A Mhàiri, dè tha ceàrr ort? Màiri, what’s wrong with you?
Och, chan eil mi gu math. ‘S e mo cheann … Och, I’m not well. It’s my head …
A bheil do cheann goirt? Is your head sore?
Tha ceann goirt orm, tha cràdh uabhasach nam chluasan agus tha mo ghlùin goirt cuideachd. I have a sore head, a terrible pain in my ears and I have a sore knee as well.
Ciamar a thachair sin? Ceann goirt, cluasan goirte agus glùin ghoirt? How did that happen? A sore head, sore ears and a sore knee?

Mo chreach, dè thachair an uair sin? My goodness, what happened then?
… agus an ath rud, dhùisg mi, agus bha mi san ospadal! … and the next thing, I woke up, and I was in the hospital!
San ospadal? Cha robh fhios agam. Carson nach do dh’innis thu dhomh?! In the hospital? I didn’t know. Why didn’t you tell me?
