- Ceitidh: Tha a’ bhliadhna a’ tighinn gu crìch.
- The year is coming to an end.
- Anna: Tha. Bidh Oidhche Challainn againn an ath-oidhch.
- It is. It will be Hogmanay tomorrow night.
- Ceitidh: Is toigh leam Oidhche Challainn. Tha i spòrsail.
- I like Hogmanay. It’s good fun.
- Anna: Tha. Bidh na nàbaidhean a’ cèilidh oirnn.
- Yes. The neighbours visit [on] us.
- Ceitidh: An robh deagh Nollaig agad?
- Did you have a good Christmas?
- Anna: Bha i glè mhath. Bha a h-uile duine aig an taigh.
- It was pretty good. Everbody was home.
- Ceitidh: An tàinig Bodach na Nollaig?
- Did Santa Claus come?
- Anna: Thàinig, agus bha preusantan gu leòr aige.
- Yes, and he had plenty of presents
- Ceitidh: Am bi sibh fhathast a’ cur stocainnean a-mach?
- Do you still put out stockings?
- Anna: Cha bhi. Sguir sinn nuair a bha a’ chlann dusan bliadhna a dh’aois.
- No. We stopped when the children were twelve years old.
- Ceitidh: A bheil planaichean agaibh aig a’ Bhliadhn’ Ùir?
- Do you have plans at New Year?
- Anna: Chan eil. A’ gabhail fois!
- No. Having a rest!
- Ceitidh: Tha rudeigin a’ tachairt aig an t-Seann Bhliadhn’ Ùir am-bliadhna.
- Something is happening at the Old New Year this year.
- Annal: An ath-bhliadhna, tha thu a’ ciallachadh!
- Next year, you mean!
- Ceitidh: Seadh. Gabh mo leisgeul.
- Oh aye. Sorry.
- Anna: Dè an rud a tha a’ tachairt?
- What is happening?
- Ceitidh: Bidh pàrtaidh air an t-sràid.
- There will be a party on the street.
- Anna: Bidh i fuar!
- It’ll be cold!
- Ceitidh: Bithidh!
- It will!
- Anna: Agus a bheil planaichean agad airson na Càisge?
- And do you have plans for Easter?
- Ceitidh: Tha. A h-uile bliadhna aig a’ Chàisg, bidh sinn a’ sgitheadh.
- Yes. Every year at Easter, we go [will be] skiing.
- Anna: Càite?
- Where?
- Ceitidh: Anns an Fhraing.
- In France.
- Anna: Tha farmad agam riut. Bidh sinn sgoinneil.
- I’m envious of you. That’ll be great.
- Ceitidh: Ach air Oidhche Shamhna, chan eil càil nas fheàrr na bhith ann an Alba.
- But on Halloween, there’s nothing better than to be in Scotland.
- Anna: Tha sin fìor. Is toigh leam Oidhche Shamhna aig an taigh.
- That’s true. I like Halloween at home.
