| Teacher | Seonag a-nis. Dè bu toigh leatsa a dhèanamh nuair a dh’fhàsas tu mòr? | Joan now. What would you like to do when you grow up? |
| Seonag | Bu toigh leam a bhith nam bhancair, Miss MacGregor. | I’d like to be a banker, Miss MacGregor. |
| Miss MacGregor | Carson a tha thu airson sin a dhèanamh, a Sheonag? | Why do you want to do that, Joan? |
| Seonag | Tha mi airson a bhith beairteach. | I want to be rich. |
| Miss MacGregor | Agus Tònaidh a-nis. A bheil thusa airson a bhith beairteach? | And Toni now. Do you want to be rich? |
| Tònaidh | Chan eil. Tha mise airson daoine a chuideachadh. | No. I want to help people. |
| Teacher | Glè mhath. An e nurs a bhios annad? | Very good. Will you be a nurse? |
| Tònaidh | Chan e, bu toigh leam a bhith nam dhotair. | No, I’d like to be a doctor. |
| Teacher | Dotair? Glè mhath. | A doctor? Very good. |
| Ros | Chan fhaod Tònaidh sin a dhèanamh. Tha mise airson daoine a chuideachadh. Tha mise airson a bhith nam dhotair. | Toni isn’t allowed to do that. I want to help people. I want to be a doctor. |
| Teacher | Sguiribh a throd. Bidh Ross na dhotair agus bidh Tònaidh na dotair cuideachd. | Stop fighting. Ross will be a doctor and Toni will also be a doctor. |
| Man | Ò, murt! Chan eil thu air tiocaid a thoirt dhomh, a bheil? Cha robh mi air falbh ach airson dà mhionaid. | Oh, no! You haven’t given me a ticket, have you? I was only gone for two minutes. |
| Ticket inspector | Tha mi duilich, sir. Ach chan fhaod sibh an càr agaibh fhàgail an seo idir, idir. | I’m sorry, sir. But you aren't allowed to leave your car here at all, at all. |
| Man | Uill, tapadh leatsa. Cha bhi thusa toilichte fhad ’s a tha aon chàr air an rathad. | Well, thank you. You won’t be happy while there is still a car on the road. |
| Ticket Inspector | Cha toigh leam an obair seo. Bu toigh leam a bhith a’ cuideachadh dhaoine. Bu toigh leam a bhith nam nurs. | I don’t like this job. I would like to help people. I’d like to be a nurse. |
| Midwife | Nurse MacDonald, cha d’ fhuair Mrs Grant na pilichean aice fhathast. | Nurse MacDonald, Mrs Grant hasn’t received her pills yet. |
