Dè tha thu ag iarraidh ri òl, a Mhàiri?

What do you want to drink, Màiri?

Tha mi ag iarraidh cupa còco, mas e do thoil.

I want a cup of cocoa, please.

chat avatar

Glè mhath.

Very good.

chat avatar

Cha chaomh leam teòclaid theth, dìreach còco.

I don't like hot chocolate, just cocoa.

Dè bu toil leatsa, Fhionnlaigh?

What would you like, Finlay?

chat avatar

Bu toil leam cupa teatha fhaighinn, taing.

I would like [to get] a cup of tea, thanks.

chat avatar

Dè mu do dheidhinn–sa, Anna? Dè bu mhiann leat?

What about you, Anna? What would you like?

Bu chaomh leam cupa cofaidh fhaighinn—ach an uair sin bhithinn nam dhùisg. 'S dòcha nach caomh leam sin.

I would like to have a cup of coffee—but then I'd be wide awake. I probably don’t want that.

Is miann leamsa uisge ach cha bu mhiann leam am blas ceimigeach air an uisge aca a–staigh an seo.

I like water but I wouldn't like the chemical taste of the water they have in here.

chat avatar

Is mathaid gum b' àill leam cupa teatha aig an àm seo dhen latha.

Perhaps I'd want [wish for] a cup of tea at this time of the day.

chat avatar

'S toil leamsa uisge teth le sliseag liomaide uair sam bith.

I like hot water with a slice of lemon at any time.

chat avatar

Math dh'fhaodte gum bu mhiann leam sin. Deagh bheachd, Fhionnlaigh!

Perhaps I would like that. Good idea, Finlay!
