Morag is looking very confused. She needs something but what is it? Have a listen to the conversation to find out. It鈥檒l help you to learn how to use these phrases yourself. There will be a phrase or two you鈥檒l recognise from previous lessons, too. Keep an ear out!

We鈥檝e managed to drop in another couple of phrases that will come in very handy. Tha rudeigin a dh矛th orm 鈥 this means 鈥淚 have a want of (for) something鈥. If you鈥檝e mislaid something and you want to say you鈥檙e needing a pen, for example, you鈥檇 say: Tha peann a dh矛th orm.
Another really useful phrase is Melodaidh鈥檚 last line: Cha leig thu leas. This means: 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 need to鈥. You鈥檒l be very likely to hear this in conversations. Have a gander at the additional useful phrases below which will give you some more ideas and vocabulary.
