The next conversation takes place in a casual situation, away from the sporting field. Notice the way we indicate preference, which has already appeared in conversation. Is fheàrr le X Y- X prefers Y or X likes Y best. Or b' fheàrr le X Y - X preferred or would prefer Y, or X likes or would like Y best.
- is fheàrr le
- prefers
- b' fheàrr le
- preferred
I prefer The preposition le often appears in a combined form as a prepositional pronoun viz:
- leam
- with me
- leat
- with you
- leis
- with him
- leatha
- with her
- leinn
- with us
- leibh
- with you (plural)
- leotha
- with them
Now listen to the conversation in transcript 3 (and note the play on the double meaning of the word spòrs in the final exchange)
This is the end of Section 15.
