Feumaidh mi biadh fhaighinn mus tèid sinn gu pàrtaidh Dhòmhnaill.

I need to get something to eat (food) before we go to Donald's party.

chat avatar

Am feum?

Do you (need to)?

chat avatar

Feumaidh. Bha mi cho trang, cha d' fhuair mi fiù 's lòn an-diugh. Nach eil an t-acras ortsa?

I do (need to). I was so busy, I didn't even have lunch today. Aren't you hungry?

chat avatar

Chan eil.

No (it isn't).

chat avatar

Nach fheum thu rudeigin ithe? Dinnear? Tha e seachd uairean mar-thà.

Don't you need to eat something? Dinner/tea? It's seven o'clock already.

chat avatar

Chan fheum. Dh'ith mi mo dhinnear mar-thà. An tèid sinn dhan taigh-sheinnse air an t slighe?

I don't. I had (ate) dinner already. Will we go to the pub on the way?

chat avatar

Thèid. Am faod mi biadh òrdachadh an sin?

We will. May I order food there?

chat avatar

Faodaidh, tha mi a' smaoineachadh.

You may, I think.

chat avatar

Agus feumaidh mi deoch òl cuideachd. Nach eil am pathadh ortsa?

And I need a drink as well. Aren't you thirsty?

chat avatar

Tha. Feumaidh mi deoch òl mus tèid sinn ann.

I am. I need a drink before we go there.

chat avatar

Feumaidh mi airgead fhaighinn. Agus ... feumaidh mi botal fìona a cheannach aig a' bhùth.

I need to get money. And ... I must buy a bottle of wine at the shop.

chat avatar

Dall ort!

On you go!

chat avatar

Bha am biadh sin math. Am faod mi deoch a cheannach dhut?

That food was good. May I buy you a drink?

chat avatar

Faodaidh. Gabhaidh mi làgar.

You may. I'll have a lager.

chat avatar

Och! Chan fhaod mi deoch a cheannach dhut! Feumaidh sinn falbh gu taigh Dhòmhnaill an-dràsta no bidh sinn anmoch airson a' phàrtaidh.

Oh! I can't buy you a drink. We have to go to Donald's house now or we'll be late for the party.

chat avatar

Ach feumaidh mise a dhol dhachaigh mus tèid sinn chun a' phàrtaidh agus aodach-pàrtaidh spaideil a chur orm!

But I need to go home before we go to the party and put on some smart party clothes!
