Listen to the transcript.
Anna: Gabh mo leisgeul. A bheil pònairean is peasraichean ùra agaibh?
Excuse me. Do you have fresh beans or peas?
Assistant: Tha gu leòr. Sin iad – faisg air a’ bhuntàta.
Yes, plenty. There they are – near the potatoes.
Anna: Tapadh leat. A bheil na prìsean orra?
Thanks. Are the prices on them?
Assistant: Tha. Cha chreid mi nach e nota gu leth a th’ air gach pacaid.
Yes. I think each packet costs £1.50.
Anna: Tha sin math gu leòr.
That’s good enough.
Assistant: Ach ma cheannaicheas sibh trì dhiubh, gheibh sibh pacaid an-asgaidh.
But if you buy three of them, you’ll get one packet free of charge.
Anna: Trì pacaidean airson trì notaichean. ’S e sin dìreach nota gach pacaid.
Three packets for three pounds. That’s just a pound for each packet.
Assistant: Tha e saor, nach eil?
It’s cheap, isn’t it?
Anna: Ge-tà, bhiodh cus phònairean agam.
However, I’d have too many beans.
Assistant: Faodaidh sibh feadhainn a chur anns an reothadair.
You can put some in the freezer.
Anna: Ceart gu leòr. Fhad ’s a tha thu agam, càite a bheil an fheòil?
Okay. While I have you[r attention], where is the meat?
Assistant: Tha feòil fhuar thall an sin.
There is cold meat over there.
Anna: A bheil bargan sam bith agaibh? Tha an fheòil agaibh uabhasach daor.
Do you have any bargains? Your meat is very expensive.
Assistant: Tha bargain againn. Tha cearcfheòil is muicfheòil shaor againn.
We have bargains. We have cheap chicken and pork.
Anna: Dè a’ phrìs a tha orra?
What price are they [is on them]?
Assistant: Nota ach sgillinn air pacaid cearcfheòla agus dà nota ach còig sgillin air pacaid muicfheòla.
£0.99 for [on] a packet of chicken meat and £1.95 for a packet of pork
Anna: Tapadh leat. Mus fhalbh thu, càite a bheil na h-uighean?
Thanks. Before you go, where are the eggs?
Assistant: Timcheall an oisein seo. Seo iad.
Round this corner. Here they are.
Anna: Tha diofar sheòrsachan ann – mòr, meadhanach, beag.
There are different types – large, medium, small.
Assistant: Tha, agus organach is saor-raoineach cuideachd.
Yes, and also organic and free-range.
Anna: O, dè gheibh mi?
Oh, what will I get?
Assistant: Tha sin an urra ribh fhèin, tha eagal orm.
That’s up to you, I’m afraid.
