Of course, there are other ways to ask someone what they want. This conversation introduces you to a construction you鈥檝e seen before. This time, check out Munro being polite and asking Morag what she would like! There鈥檚 no prize if you guess, as you know Morag so well by now!
| Munro |
D猫 tha sibh ag iarraidh?
What do you want? |
| Morag |
Tha mi ag iarraidh cupa t矛, mas e do thoil e.
I want a cup of tea, please. |
| Munro |
D猫 ghabhas sibh? T矛 dhubh no t矛 le bainne?
What will you take? Black tea or tea with milk? |
| Morag |
Gabhaidh mi t矛 le bainne.
I will take tea with milk. |
| Munro |
A bheil sibh ag iarraidh c脿il eile?
Do you want anything else? |
| Morag |
Chan eil tapadh leat. Tha gu le貌r agam.
No thank you. I have plenty. |
With this conversation, we鈥檝e revisited a couple of previous phrases that you鈥檝e come across, just to keep you on your toes! You鈥檒l also see that when Morag says 鈥淧lease鈥, to Munro, that she uses the informal or singular form 鈥淢as e do thoil e鈥. Spot the differences from the polite/plural form? She uses
do to mean 鈥榶ou鈥, and that word adds an
h into the next word
thoil.
