- Eilidh: An toigh leat Anna?
- Do you like Ann?
- Iain: Is toil. Tha i bòidheach.
- Yes. She is beautiful.
- Eilidh: Tha i bòidheach, ach tha i uabhasach àrd.
- She is beautiful, but she is terribly tall.
- Iain: Tha, ach tha mise àrd cuideachd, ged nach eil mi bòidheach.
- Yes, but I am tall as well, although I am not beautiful.
- Eilidh: O, tha thu eireachdail gu leòr!
- Oh, you're pretty handsome!
- Iain: Tapadh leat. Ach tha mo shròn ro mhòr.
- Thanks. But my nose is too big.
- Eilidh: Ist! Tha do shròn ceart gu leòr. Ach seall ormsa.
- Be quiet! Your nose is okay. But look at me.
- Iain: Dè tha ceàrr ort?
- What is wrong with you?
- Eilidh: Tha mo bheul ro bheag. Tha mo chluasan ro mhòr. Tha mi grànda.
- My mouth is too small. My ears are too big. I'm ugly.
- Iain: Ist! Tha thu cho bòidheach ri Anna.
- Be quiet! You're as beautiful as Ann.
- Eilidh: Ai, ach tha casan fada air Anna.
- Aye, but Ann has long legs.
- Iain: Tha iad fada, ach tha iad caol.
- They are long, but they are skinny.
- Eilidh: Tha mise reamhar agus tha gàirdeanan fada orm.
- I am fat and I have long arms.
- Iain: Sguir dheth sin! Tha do shùilean brèagha.
- Stop that! Your eyes are lovely.
- Eilidh: O, mòran taing, Iain. Bha mi an dòchas gun canadh tu sin!
- Oh, thanks John. I was hoping you would say that!
