In transcript 2 Anna goes to the vegetables where she asks for help from a young shop assistant. She then does some sums (for simple counting see Unit 8). Many of the prices in shops are just under a multiple of pounds eg £1.99, £3.95. Here’s how we talk about such prices in Gaelic:
- nota ach sgillinn
- £0.99 (literally: a pound except a penny)
- dà nota ach sgillinn
- £1.99 (literally: two pounds except a penny)
- trì notaichean gu leth
- £3.50 (literally: three pounds and a half )
- còig notaichean ach còig sgillinn
- £4.95 (literally: five pounds except five pence)
