Dia Duit, Joe. Nach bhfuil an lá go hálainn?
Hello, Joe. Is it not a beautiful day?
-
Tá, Cáit. Tá sé te go leor inniu.
Yes, Kate, It is plenty warm today.
-
Chuala mé go bhfuil slúa mór thíos ag an trá.
I heard that a big crowd is down on the beach.
-
Bhí mé ann ag obair le Seán. Tá daoine ag snámh agus tá sé nó seacht mbád ag iascaireacht ar an bhfairraige.
I was there working with Sean. People are swimming and six or seven boats are fishing on the sea.
-
Tá súil agam go mbeidh sé go deas amáireach fresin.
I hope that it will be nice tomorrow, also.
-
Beidh sé go deas, a Cháit, mar tá an fharraige go brea ciúin.
It will be nice, dear Kate, because the sea is perfectly calm.
-
Tá sé sin go maith. An mbeidh deoch agat?
That is good. Will you have a drink?
-
Ní bheidh, ach ba mhaith cupán tae, más é do thoil
I will not, but I will have a cup of tea, if it is your will.
-
An bhfuil Ming anseo?
Is Ming here?
-
Níl sé ag obair inniu. D’imigh sé go Gallaimh le Sinéad.
He is not working today. He left to Gallway with Sinéad.
-
Cén t-am a mbeidh siad ar ais?
What time will they be back?
-
Sé nó seacht a chlog. Beidh siad ar an mbus.
Six or seven o'clock. They will be on the bus.
-
Tiocfaidh mé ar ais timpeal a h-ocht, mar sin. An bhfuil tú ag dul go dtí an damhsa anocht?
I will come back around 8 or so. Are you going to the dance tonight?
-
Níl fhios agam. Beidh ceol anseo anocht agus beidh slúa mór againn.
I don't know. Music willbe here tonight and we will have a big crowd.
-
Inis dom, an raibh tú ag caint le Pádraig?
Tell me, were you talking with Patrick?
-
Ní raibh, agus ní bheidh mé ag caint leis.
I was not, and I will not be talking with him.
-
Is dona an scéal sin. Is fear maith é.
That story is bad. He is a good man.
-
Is cuma liom.
I don't care.
-
Tá tú go hálainn inniu, a Cháit.
You are beautiful today, Kate.
-
Cén fáth, Nóra?
For what reason, Nóra?
-
Tá gúna deas agat. An gúna nua é?
You have a nice gown. Is the gown new?
-
Ní hea, tá sé sin sean anois.
It is not, it is old now.
-
Agus tá hata brea agat.
And your hat is fine.
-
Tá an hata núa ceart go leor.
The hat is new enough.
-
Inis dom, an bhfuil Síle anseo?
Tell me, is Sheila here?
-
Níl sí ag obair inniu, tá sí tinn.
She is not working today, she is sick.
-
Tá súil agam nach bhfuil sí go dona.
I hope she is not bad.
-
Bhí an doctúir ag a teach ar maidin.
The doctor was at her house this morning.
-
Níl sé sin go maith.
That is not good.
-
An raibh tú i mbád riamh?
Have you ever been in a boat?
-
Ní raibh mé, ach bhí mé i mbus.
I have not, but I was in a bus.
-
Agus cá raibh an bus ag dul?
And where was the bus going?
-
Bhí sé ag dul go Gallaimh. An raibh tú riamh sa bhaile sin?
It was going to Galway. Were you ever in that town?
-
Bhí mé ann cinnte. Is áit deas é agus bíonn go leor craic agus ceol ann.
I was there for sure. The place is nice and there is much fun and music there.
-
Tá an ceart agat agus tá siopaí móra ann agus gach rud le fáil ann.
You are correct, and there are big shops there and every thing is found there.
-
Nach bhfuil coláiste mór ann fresin?
Is there not big college there, also?
-
Tá. Chuaigh mé ann agus bhí mé ag caint leis na múinteoirí.
Yes. I went there and I was talking with the teachers.
-
An raibh? Cad faoí?
Were you? What about?
-
Bá mhaith liom dul ar scoil ann.
I would like to go to school there.
-
Agus cad a duirt siad duit?
And they said what to you?
-
Duirt siad “Céad fáilte romhat, Ming”
They said, "A hundred welcomes, Ming."
-
Cé mhéad atá ar cupán tae anois, Cáit?
How much is a cup of tea now, Kate?
-
Dhá euro, Tom.
Two euro, Tom.
-
Beidh cupán agam mar sin. Tá mé fuar agus tá an tae go maith don fuacht.
I will have a cup, so. I am cold and the tea is good for a cold.
-
Tá an ceart agat. An raibh tú ar an bhfairraige?
You are right. Were you on the sea?
-
Bhí mé. Chuaigh mé ag iascaireacht le Seán.
I was. I went fishing with Sean.
-
Agus an raibh lá maith agaibh?
And did you have a good day?
-
Bhí an t-ádh linn, tháinig an bád isteach sa trá le cúpla céad ronnaigh.
The luck was with us, the boat came into the beach with a couple hundred mackerel.
-
A dhia! Bhí an-lá agaibh mar sin
God! So, you had a great day!
-
Bhí, agus thóg fear a bhí sa trá gach iasc a bhí againn. Thug sé cúpla céad euro do Seán.
We did, and a man, who was on the beach, took every fish we had. He gave a few hundread euro to Sean.
-
Beidh craic againn anocht mar sin.
So, you will have fun tonight.
