James: 'S e là math a th' ann, a Chatrìona.
It's a nice day, Catherine.
Catherine: 'S e, gu dearbh. Agus 's e Disathairne a th' ann!
It sure is. And it's Saturday.
James: Dè bhios tu a' dèanamh an-diugh, ma-thà?
What will you be doing today, then?
Catherine: Cha bhi mòran. Bidh mi a' cèilidh air caraidean, 's dòcha.
Not much. I will visit friends, perhaps.
James: Agus am bi thu anns an eaglais a-màireach?
And will you be in church tomorrow?
Catherine: Bithidh. Dè bhios tu fhèin a' dèanamh?
Yes. What will you be doing?
James: Bidh mise anns an eaglais cuideachd.
I'll be in church too.
Catherine: Agus an-diugh? Dè bhios tu a' dèanamh an-diugh?
And today? What will you be doing today?
James: Bidh mi a' snàmh. Bidh mi a' snàmh a h-uile Disathairne.
I'll be swimming. I go swimming every Saturday.
Catherine: Anns an abhainn?
In the river?
James: Ist! Tha e fuar anns an abhainn.
Be quiet! It's cold in the river.
Catherine: Càit' am bi thu a' snàmh ma-thà?
Where will you swim then?
James: Anns an amar-snàmh, aig an ionad-spòrs.
In the swimming pool, at the sports centre.
Catherine: O, uill, tha mi an dòchas gum bi e math.
Oh, well, I hope it'll be good.
James: Tapadh leat.
Thanks.
