shegin dou (SHY-in-DOW) - I must ('DOW' rhymes with 'how')

'Shegin dou' can be translated as 'There is compulsion to me'.
'Shegin dhyt'
(SHY-in-DUT)

is the Manx for 'You must'.

Shegin dou goll (SHY-in-dow-GULL) - I must go.
dys ny shappyn (duss-na-SHAPP-an) - to the shops
Cre'n fa? (krinn-FAA) - Why? ('What reason?')
Nagh ren oo goll? (NAKH-renn-oo-GULL) - Didn't you go?
Ren (renn) - Yes ('Did')
ta shin laccal (ta-shinn-LAL) - we want
tooilley (TULL-ya) - more
stoo (stoo) - stuff
Cre'n giense? (KRINN-g'yinss) - What party?
Giense Vreeshey (g'yinss-VREEZH-a) - Breeshey's party.

To show it is Breeshey's party, we change the 'B' to 'V'.

'Giense Vreeshey' means 'The party of Breeshey', or 'Breeshey's party'.
This is like changing the 'M' in 'Mannin' to 'V' when we say 'Ellan Vannin', which means 'The Isle of Mann'.
