Tha iad a' dol dhan taigh-bìdh ùr sin aig a' chidhe.

A bheil thu a' tarraing asam? Tha an t-àite sin uabhasach daor! Chuala mi sin bhuat roimhe.

Are you kidding me? That place is terribly dear/expensive! I heard that from you before.

An cuala? Chan eil e cho daor (ri) sin. Mas e breug bhuam e, 's e breug thugam e. Cha robh mi riamh ann!

Did you (hear)? It isn't as dear as all that. I'm only telling you what I've been told (lit. if it's a lie from me, it's a lie to me). I've never been there!
