..as ish jeeaghyn er sooillyn y dooinney dy jeean. (azz-ISH-JEEKH-un-err-SOOL- yun-a-DUNN-ya-the-JEE-an) - ..while she looked earnestly at the man’s eyes. (‘..and she looking on the eyes of the man earnestly’.)
Cha dod Juan clashtyn ny v’ee gra..(ha-DODD-JOO-an-KLASH-chin-na-vee- GRAA) - Juan could not hear what she was saying...

V’eh guee mollaght orroo dy tostagh..(vay-GWEE-MOLL-akht-ORR-oo-the-TOST- akh) - He was cursing them silently..(‘He was a beseeching a curse on-them silently..’)

Alternatively: Son grig, ren ee jeeaghyn ersyn...
..begin dasyn blakey er y jough echey. (BYDN-DAA-zun-BLAACK-a-err-a-JAWKH- EGG-a) - ..he had to stare at his drink. (‘...staring on the drink at-him’.)
Note: shegin da (SYDN-daa) - he must; he has to
..ny veggan as ny veggan. (na-VEGG-an-azz-na-VEGG-an) - little by little.

Leave the noun in the singular after ‘shimmey’.
.. roish my row shoh reaghit. (ROHSH-ma-ROW-SHAW-RAYKH-it) -..before this was arranged..
You can express ‘before’ with ‘my’ on its own - but you must follow it with the dependent form of the verb! Note this difference:
My row eh reaghit - Before it was arranged.
My v’eh reaghit - If it was arranged.
Daag ad y thie-lhionney..(DAAG-add-a-TY-L’YONN-a) - They left the pub...
