Cairistìona: Halò a Dhonnchaidh.
Hello Duncan.
Donnchadh: A Chairistìona, a bheil an iomain a' còrdadh riut?.
Christine, are you enjoying the shinty?
Cairistìona: Tha gu dearbh. 'S e geama math a th' ann.
Yes. It's a good game.
Donnchadh: Tha iad co-ionann.
They're equal.
Cairistìona: Aon tadhal an urra, an e?
One goal to each side, is it?
Donnchadh: Chan e. Dà thadhal an urra.
No. Two goals to each side.
Cairistìona: O, chaill mi toiseach a' gheama.
Oh, I missed the start of the game.
Donnchadh: 'S e Cinn a' Ghiuthsaich as fheàrr, ge-tà.
Kingussie are the better side, however.
Cairistìona: Tha mise a' toirt taic do Bhail' Ùr an t-Slèibh.
I'm supporting Newtonmore.
Donnchadh: Carson a tha sin?
Why is that?
Cairistìona: Bha mo sheanair à Bail' Ùr an t-Slèibh.
My grandfather was from Newtonmore.
Donnchadh: Seall, chuir iad tadhal.
Look, they scored.
Cairistìona: Cò?
Who?
Donnchadh: Bail' Ùr an t-Slèibh
Newtonmore.
Cairistìona: Agus bhris an cluicheadair an caman aige.
And the player broke his shinty stick.
Donnchadh: Bhris. Ach tha e toilichte.
Yes. But he is pleased.
Cairistìona: Tha Bàil' Ùr an t-Slèibh air thoiseach, trì gu dhà.
Newtonmore are ahead, three to two.
Donnchadh: Is dòcha gun tog iad Cupa na Camanachd.
Perhaps they will lift the Camanachd Cup.
Cairistìona: Is dòcha. Bhiodh sin math.
Perhaps. That would be good.
Donnchadh: Bhiodh do sheanair toilichte.
Your grandfather would be happy.
Cairistìona: Bhitheadh, gun teagamh.
He would, without doubt.
