| Mother | Suidhibh sìos. Mura suidh sibh sìos chan fhaigh sibh bracaist. | Sit down. If you don’t sit down you won’t get breakfast. |
| Father | Leig leotha. | Let them be. |
| Daughter | Cha toigh leam hama. | I don’t like bacon. |
| Father | Nach toil? | Don’t you? |
| Daughter | Cha toil a-nis. Chan eil e math dhut. | Not now. It isn’t good for you. |
| Son | Mura h-eil ise ga iarraidh, ithidh mise e. | If she doesn’t want it, I’ll eat it. |
| Mother | Mura bi thu sàmhach, chan fhaigh thu rud sam bith. Suidh sìos. Suidh thusa sìos cuideachd. | If you don’t be quiet, you won’t get anything. Sit down. You sit down too. |
| Daughter | Cha bhi mise ag òl tì. | I don’t drink tea. |
| Father | Dè? | What? |
| Daughter | Cha bhi mi ag òl tì anns a’ mhadainn. | I don’t drink tea in the morning. |
| Son | Agus ’s fheàrr leamsa bainne na tì. Am faigh mi bainne? | And I prefer milk to tea. Can I get milk? |
| Mother | Cuir dheth an rèidio, Alasdair. | Put the radio off, Alasdair. |
| Son | ’S toigh leam an t-òran sin. | I like that song. |

| Son | Obh, tha mo stamag goirt. Cha tèid agam air a dhol dhan sgoil an-diugh. | Oh dear, my stomach is sore. I won’t be able to go to school today. |
| Mother | Mura tèid agad air a dhol dhan sgoil, cha tèid agad air do bhracaist ithe. A bheil mi ceart? | If you won’t be able to go to school, you won’t be able to eat your breakfast. Am I right? |
| Daughter | Tha mise a’ falbh. Tha mi ag iarraidh airgead. | I’m off. I want some money. |
| Father | Seo dà not. | Here’s two pounds. |
| Daughter | Feumaidh mi còig notaichean. | I need five pounds. |
| Father | Carson? | Why? |
| Daughter | Airson mo dhìnneir, agus airson a’ bhus. | For my dinner, and for the bus. |
| Son | Feumaidh mise còig notaichean cuideachd. | I need five pounds too. |
| Father | Feumaidh tu sgleog. Mura biodh tusa gam milleadh, cha bhiodh iad cho dona. | You need a slap. If you didn’t spoil them, they wouldn’t be so bad. |
