| Husband | Tha am fear seo a' coimhead math, nach eil a Mhàiri-Anna? | This one looks good, doesn’t it Mary-Anne? |
| Màiri-Anna | Tha ach tha e uabhasach daor. Seall. Tha am fear sin gu math nas saoire. | Yes but it’s awfully dear. Look. That one is much cheaper. |
| Husband | Tha am fear seo nas daoire ceart gu leòr, ach ’s fhiach e. Seall “Rechargeable”. ’S fhiach a cheannach airson sin, tha mi a’ smaoineachadh. Tha bataraidhean cho daor. | This one is dearer right enough, but it’s worth it. Look. “Rechargeable”. It’s worth buying for that, I think. Batteries are so dear. |
