Uh-huh?
Pàdraig: Am bu toigh leat dhol don Mhòd am bliadhna?
Would you like to go to the Mod this year?
Anna: Bu toil. Bu toigh leam a dhol ann.
Yes, I would like to go.
Pàdraig: Is math sin.
That's good.
Anna: Am bu toigh leat fhèin dhol don Mhòd?
Would you like to go to the Mod yourself?
Pàdraig: Bu toil, ach bidh mi air falbh aig fèis.
Yes, but I will be away at a feis.
Anna: Tha sin duilich. Is toigh leam an ceòl aig a' Mhòd.
That’s a pity. I like the music at the Mod.

I like the dances. I like dancing.
Anna: An toigh leat na cèilidhean?
Do you like the ceilidhs?

Yes. They're usually pretty good.
Anna: Am bu toigh leat cupa tì?
Would you like a cup of tea?
Pàdraig: Cha bu toil. Ach bu toigh leam cupa cofaidh!
No. But I'd like a cup of coffee!
Anna: Bu toil, is leamsa.
So would I.
Pàdraig: Am bi do phàrantan aig a' Mhòd?
Will your parents be at the Mod?
Anna: Bu toigh leotha a bhith ann, ach bidh iadsan air falbh aig an fhèis cuideachd.
They would like to be there, but they will be away at the feis as well.
