Listen to the transcript.
Peter: Dè ghabhas tu, Anna?
What will you have, Ann?
Anna: Gabhaidh mi sùgh-orainds. Tapadh leat.
I'll have an orange juice. Thanks.
Peter: Nach gabh thu deoch làidir?
Will you not take an alcoholic drink?
Anna: Cha ghabh, tapadh leat. Ghabh mi cus a-raoir
No thanks. I took too much last night.
Peter: An do ghabh, gu dearbh? Càite an robh thu?
Did you indeed? Where were you?
Anna: Bha mi ann an taigh-seinnse. Dh'òl mi cus.
I was in a pub. I drank too much.
Peter: Cha robh sin glic. Ciamar a tha thu an-diugh?
That wasn't wise. How are you today?
Anna: Tha mi ceart gu lèor. Ach chan eil mi ag iarraidh deoch làidir.
I'm okay. But I don't want an alcoholic drink.
Peter: Ceart gu leòr.
Okay.
Anna: Agus thu fhèin? Dè ghabhas tusa?
And you? What will you have?
Peter: Gabhaidh mise uisge-beatha.
I'll take a whisky.
Anna: Cha toigh leam fhìn uisge-beatha.
I don't like whisky.
Peter: Dè dh'òl thu a-raoir, ma-thà?
What did you drink last night, then?
Anna: Cha do dh'òl mi uisge-beatha. Dh'òl mi fìon.
I didn't drink whisky. I drank wine.
Peter: Is toigh leamsa fìon cuideachd.
I like wine also.
Anna: Is toigh leam fìon geal. Cha toigh leam fìon dearg.
I like white wine. I don't like red wine.
Peter: Geal no dearg, tha mi coma!
White or red, I don't care!
