riyr (ryr) - last night (Rhymes with 'fire')
hie shin (HY-shinn) - we went

Instead of 'Hie shin', we could say 'Ren shin goll'.

C'red va goll er? (KERR-id-va-gull-ERR) - What was going on?
seshoon-kiaullee (sezh-OON-K'YAWLL-ee) - a music session (a session of music)
kiaulleeaght (K'YAWLL-ee-akht) - music
Row eh mie? (row-a-MY) - Was it good? ('row' rhymes with 'how')

To answer the last question, we say either 'Va' (vaa), effectively meaning 'Yes', or 'Cha row' (ha-ROW), effectively meaning 'No'.

'Va' means 'Was' and 'Cha row' means 'Was not'.

v'eh (vay) - it was ('v'eh' comes from 'va eh')
bee'm (BEE-um) - I'll be
bee'm goll (BEE-um-GULL) - I'll be going
oie (ee) - night
