CONVERSATIONAL EXERCISE

In this conversation, read what Seán says, then follow the general instructions for what you, "Tú", are to say. If you can not think of suitable phrases, be sure to say something that would be considered appropriate, in Irish, before you look down at the key. Cover the key below the line that you need.

Seán: Dia duit, a chara (K*ahr-uh).

Tú: (Answer him.)

Seán: Conas tátúinniu?

Tú: (Tell him you are well, and ask him how he is.)

Seán: Támégo maith leis. Nach breáan láé?

Tú: (Agree with him and ask him where he was yesterday.)

Seán: Bhíméistigh sa teach, ag obair an lágo leir.

Tú: (Sympathize with him. Then tell him that you went to the city and bought a coat.)

Seán: Conas a tháinig túabhaile?

Tú: (You came home on the bus, of course. There weren't many people on the bus last night either.)

Seán: Nach fearr leat dul ar an traein?

Tú: (You prefer the train to the bus, but there was no train in the station then.)

Key:

Dia's Muire duit, a Sheáin.

Támégo maith, agus conas tátúféin?

Is breá, go deimhin (DEYE-in). Cáraibh túinné, a Sheáin?

Nach mór an truaésin, anois? Chuaigh méchuig an gcathair agus cheannaigh (HYAN-ee) mécóta nua.

Tháinig méabhaile ar an mbus, ar ndóigh (er NOH-ee). Níraibh mórán duine ar an mbus aréir (uh-RAY*R) ach oiread (IR-uhd).

Is fearr liom an traein náan bus, ach níraibh traein ar bith ag an stáisiún ansin.
