  1. Shílfea gur rud é bhearfadh an cat isteach lá fliuch.
    Bi sé mar bheadh luchog báite ann.
    The ded lice were falling off him.
    The men withe the money are taken to the parlour.
    That puts the tin hat on him.
    Sin cionn ar an sruca.
    When a knock cae to the door at night the man of the house shouted.
    Cuide;d dath atá ar do ghearran.
    When he entered he was invited in.
    Suidh síos agus tarraing amach.
    Glach d'am. Beirfidh saoghal ort. Is iomaidh lá ag an uaigh orainn.
    the man that made the time made plenty of it. Beir ar do dheifre. Cá fearr duit do shuidhe shoir annsin.
    It is with a struggle a man rises at 6 o-clock and it takes the same struggle to get up at 10.
    Na mol is na cáin an bónn go dteigh an mhí mheodhain amach.
    Ni thig olc den tír nach feárrde frear éinteacht.
