V'eh goll dy vriaght jee..(vay-GULL-the-VRY-akht-jee) - He was going to ask(of) her
Use 'briaght' for asking questions and 'shirrey er' for asking someone to do something.
 ..row ee laccal soie sheese..(ROW-ee-LALL-SA-ee-SHEESS) - ..if she wanted to sit down..('..was she wanting sitting down..')
Manx doesn't have 'if' here.
 ..agh va shen fardailagh. (akh-va-SHEN-far-DAAL-akh) -..but that was futile.
..hooar ad dy row Mainshtyr Mylvoirrey marroo..(HOOR-ad-the-ROW-MINE-shter- mul-VURR-a-MARR-oo) - ..they found that Mr Mylvoirrey was dead..
Cha nel scrutaght eear-vaase jeant..(ha-NELL-SKROOT-akht-EER-VAASS-jinnt) - A post mortem examination hasn't been done..('An examination after death is not done..')
..shen ooilley foddym gra..(shen-ULL-ya-FOTH-um-GRAA) -..that's all I can say..
Jarrood y daa howl sy wannal echey..(jarr-OOD-a-DAA-HOLE-sa-WANN-al-EGG- a) - Forget the two holes in his neck..
Remember that nouns stay in the singular after 'daa' and that 'daa' causes letter changes: 'towl' - 'hole', 'daa howl' 'two holes'.
..c'red va Askell jannoo ayns thie-goaldee ayns Doolish as eisht çheet dy ve marroo. (KERR-id-va-ASK-ell-JINN-oo-unnss-TY-GAWL-dee-unnss-DOO- lish-azz-ESH-chitt-the-vay-MARR-oo) - ..what Askell was doing in a guest house in Douglas and then ending up dead. ('..what Askell was doing in a guest house in Douglas and then coming to be dead.')
Begin jee tannaghtyn kiune as mooaralagh..(BYD'N-jee-TANN-akht-un-K'YOON- azz-MOOR-al-akh) - She had to stay calm and aloof...
..sy scammylt ommidjagh shoh. (sa-SKAMM-ilt-OMM-idj-akh-shaw) - ..In this ridiculous scandal.
V'ee guee dy jinnagh ny meoiryn-shee shoh gimmeeaght magh ass..(vee-GWEE- the-JINN-akh-na-MERR-un-SHEE-shaw-GIMM-ee-akht-MAKH-ASS) - She was praying that these policemen would clear off out of it..

..noi'n ellan bolvaneagh shoh. (nine-ELL-yan-bol-VAAN-akh-shaw) - ..against this stupid island.
