- Seònaid: A bheil telebhisean agad?
- Do you have a television?
- Iain: Tha. Tha dà thelebhisean agam.
- Yes. I have two televisions.
- Seònaid: Carson a tha dà thelebhisean agad?
- Why do you have two televisions?
- Iain: Tha fear agam aig an teine.
- I have one in the living room [literally, at the fire]
- Seònaid: Agus càite a bheil am fear eile? Anns an taigh-bheag?!
- And where is the other one? In the toilet?!
- Iain: Chan eil – ged a tha rèidio agam anns an taigh-bheag.
- No – although I have a radio in the toilet.
- Seònaid: Càite a bheil am fear eile, ma-thà?
- Where is the other one, then?
- Iain: Tha e nam rùm-chadail.
- It is in my bedroom.
- Seònaid: Ist! Am bi thu a’ coimhead telebhisean anns an leabaidh?
- Be quiet. Do you watch television in [the] bed?
- Iain: Bithidh aig amannan. A bheil càil ceàrr air sin?
- I do at times. Is there anything wrong with that?
- Seònaid: Chan eil, ma tha e a’ còrdadh riut…
- No, if you enjoy it….
- Iain: Nach bi thu fhèin a’ coimhead telebhisean?
- Don’t you watch television yourself?
- Seònaid: Bithidh, ach cha bhi anns an leabaidh
- Yes, but not in bed.
- Iain: Dè am prògram as fheàrr leat?
- What is your favourite programme?
- Seònaid: Chan eil fhios agam. Na naidheachdan, ’s dòcha.
- I don’t know. The news, probably.
- Iain: Ach uaireannan tha na naidheachdan uabhasach dòrainneach.
- But sometimes the news are terribly depressing.
- Seònaid: Tha. Ach ’s e sin an saoghal dhut.
- Yes. But that’s the world for you.
- Iain: ’S fheàrr leamsa prògraman èibhinn.
- I prefer funny programmes.
- Seònaid: An toigh leat filmichean?
- Do you like films?
- Iain: Tha filmichean math fhèin!
- Films are great!
- Seònaid: Dè am film a b’ fheàrr a chunnaic thu a-riamh?
- What was the best film you ever saw?
- Iain: Mmm, tha sin doirbh.
- Mmm, that’s difficult.
- Seònaid: Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings?
- Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings?
- Iain: A bheil fhios agad air seo – ’s e seann film as fheàrr leam.
- Do you know this – my favourite is an old film.
- Seònaid: Cò fear?
- Which one?
- Iain: Gone with the Wind. Bha e air an telebhisean an-uiridh.
- Gone with the Wind. It was on television last year.
- Seònaid: ’S e seann fhear as fheàrr leamsa cuideachd.
- My favourite is an old one too.
- Iain: Cò fear?
- Which one?
- Seònaid: To Kill a Mocking Bird. Bha sin air an telebhisean am-bliadhna.
- To Kill a Mocking Bird. That was on television this year.
