ayd (edd) - at you

Co-loayrtys

Catreeney: Vel kiartey ec Mayl foast?
Ealish: Ta, son shickyrys. She coontysseyr eshyn!
Catreeney: C'raad vees eh gobbraghey?

vel? (vell) - is there?
ec (eck) - at
Mayl (maal) - Michael
foast (fohss) - yet, still

'Has Michael got a job yet?' comes out in Manx as:
'Is there a job at Michael yet?'

she (shay) - it is
coontysseyr (coon-diss-AYR) - an accountant
eshyn (EZH-un) - he, him

'She coontysseyr eshyn' means 'He is an accountant'
('It is an accountant he')

To express the same thing, you could just say 'Coontysseyr eshyn'.
Or you could say:

T'eh ny choontysseyr
(TAY-na-khoon-diss-AYR)

- He is an accountant
(He is in his accountant)


C'raad vees eh? (kraad-VISS-a) - Where will he be?
gobbraghey (GOBB-rakh-a) - working
Straid Athol (strayj-ATH-ol) - Athol Street
boayl (bawl) - a place
son (sonn) - for
ny coontysseyryn (na-koon-diss-AYR-un) - the accountants
dooinney (DUN-ya) - a man

She dooinney mie Mayl

(shay-DUN-ya-MY-maal)

- Michael is a good man.
