| Seonag | Saoil an innseadh tu dhomh, Iain? Dè dh’itheadh tusa còmhla ris an deoch orains agad? | I wonder if you Would tell me, John? What would you eat with your orange juice? |
| Iain | Uill, a Sheonag. Dh’ithinn-sa bradan, no breac, no ’s dòcha fish supper. | Well, Joan. I would eat salmon, or trout, or maybe a fish supper. |
| Seonag | Agus, an itheadh tu fish supper sam bith còmhla ris an deoch orains agad? | And, would you eat any fish supper with your orange juice? |
| Iain | Ò, chan itheadh, chan itheadh. Nan toireadh duine dhomh fish supper à bùth Luigi, ruithinn air falbh. Fish supper à bùth Giuseppe, sin am fear a dh’ithinn-sa. | Oh no, I wouldn’t. If anyone gave me a fish supper from Luigi’s shop, I’d run away. A fish supper from Giuseppe’s shop, that’s the one I’d eat. |
| Seonag | Nach iad na h-amadain! | Aren’t they fools! |
| Iain | Abair thusa, a ghràidh! | Tell me about it, dear! |
| Seonag | Cò dh’itheadh iasg agus sùbh-làir còmhla? | Who would eat fish and strawberry together? |
| Iain | Dh’itheadh amadan, dearg amadan! | A fool would, a right fool! |
| Seonag | Seall seo. Dè nan dèanainn bradan dhut a-nochd? | Look at this. What if I made salmon for you tonight? |
| Iain | Cha dèanadh tu breac, an dèanadh? | You wouldn’t do trout, would you? |
| Seonag | Breac? Dhèanainn, nan còrdadh sin riut. | Trout? I would, if you’d enjoy that. |
| Iain | Chòrdadh sin rium glan. Tha mi sgìth de bhradan. | I’d enjoy that a lot. I’m tired of salmon. |
| Seonag | Innis dhomh, Iain, dè dh’òladh tu leis a’ bhreac? | Tell me, John, what would you drink with the trout? |
