| Passenger | Feumaidh mi a bhith aig a’ phort-adhair aig leth-uair an dèidh trì. Tha e trì uairean a-nis. | I need to be at the airport at half past three. It’s three o’ clock now. |
| Taxi driver | Tha mi coma. Bidh a h-uile càil ceart gu leòr. Tha sinn glè fhaisg air a’ phort-adhair. Dh’fhaodadh sibh coiseachd ann. | I don’t care. Everything will be alright. We are very close to the airport. You could walk there. |
| Passenger | Nam biodh tu air an rathad eile a ghabhail, cha bhiodh seo air tachairt. | If you had taken the other road, this wouldn’t have happened. |
| Taxi driver | Nam bithinn air an rathad eile a ghabhail, bhitheamaid fhathast ann am meadhan a’ bhaile. | If I had taken the other road, we would still be in the town centre. |
| Passenger | Nam bitheamaid air an rathad eile a ghabhail, bhiodh am poileas ann agus bhiodh càraichean eile ann. Dh’fhaodadh dràibhear eile cuideachadh a thoirt dhuinn. | If we had taken the other road, the police would be there and other cars would be there. Another driver could have helped us. |
| Taxi Driver | Cuiridh mi seo ceart ann an còig mionaidean. | I’ll fix this in five minutes. |
| Passenger | An do choimhead thu air an ola? | Did you look at the oil? |
| Taxi Driver | Tha ola gu leòr ann. | There’s enough oil. |
| Passenger | An do choimhead thu air an uisge? | Did you look at the water? |
| Taxi Driver | Tha an t-uisge làn. | The water’s full. |
| Passenger | An do choimhead thu air na plugaichean? | Did you look at the plugs? |
| Taxi Driver | Tha na plugaichean ùr. Chuir mi ann an-dè iad. | The plugs are new. I put them in yesterday. |
| Passenger | An do choimhead thu air an diesel? | Did you look at the diesel? |
| Taxi Driver | Diesel! | Diesel! |
| Passenger | Na can rium nach eil diesel gu leòr ann! | Don’t tell me that there isn’t enough diesel! |
| Taxi Driver | Thugainnibh. | Come on. |
| Passenger | Nam bithinn nad àite, bhithinn a’ smaoineachadh air obair eile. | If I were in your place, I would be thinking about another job. |
