- Ceitidh: Dè na cur-seachadan a bh’ agad nuair a bha thu òg?
- What pastimes did you have when you were young?
- Anna: Bha na rudan àbhaisteach.
- The normal things.
- Ceitidh: Dè na rudan?
- What things?
- Anna: Bha mi a’ cluich le doilichean.
- I was playing with dolls.
- Ceitidh: Dè na geamannan a bha thu a’ cluich?
- What games did you play [lit. were you playing]?
- Anna: Nursaichean is dotairean. Floireans Nightingale. Rudan mar sin.
- Nurses and doctors. Florence Nightingale. Things like that.
- Ceitidh: Mo chreach! Cha do chluich mise geamannan mar sin riamh.
- Wow! I never played games like that.
- Anna: Dè na cur-seachadan a bh’ agad fhèin, ma-thà?
- What pastimes did you have, then?
- Ceitidh: Bha mi a’ cuideachadh mo mhàthar. Bha peathraichean òga agam.
- I was helping my mother. I had young sisters.
- Anna: ’S e obair a tha sin, chan e cur-seachad.
- That’s work, not a hobby.
- Ceitidh: ’S e, ach bha sinn uile trang.
- Yes, but we were all busy.
- Anna: Nach robh cur-seachad sam bith agad?
- Didn’t you have any hobbies?
- Ceitidh: Bha – bha each aig caraid dhomh.
- Yes – a friend of mine had a horse.
- Annal: A bheil thu math air marcachd?
- Are you good at riding?
- Ceitidh: Cha robh mi a’ marcachd.
- I wasn’t riding.
- Anna: Dè bha thu a’ dèanamh, ma-thà?
- What were you doing, then?
- Ceitidh: Bha mi a’ bruidhinn ris an each. Chòrd e ris.
- I was speaking to the horse. He enjoyed it.
- Anna: An do dh’innis thu stòiridhean dha?!
- Did you tell him stories?
- Ceitidh: Dh’innis. Agus dh’innis esan stòiridhean dhòmhsa.
- Yes. And he told me stories.
- Anna: A bheil gin agad fhathast?
- Do you still have any?
- Ceitidh: Tha – ach dh’iarr e orm gun a bhith gan innse do dhuine sam bith eile.
- Yes – but he asked me not to tell them to anybody else.
- Anna: O thalla! Tha thu a’ tarraing asam!
- O go away! You’re teasing me.
