skee (skee) - tired
slane skee (sledd'n-skee) - completely tired
yn kiartey aym (in-K'YART-a-IMM) - my job

For 'My job', we can say either 'Yn kiartey aym' ('The job at-me') or 'My chiartey'
(ma-H'YART-a)

.

jeh'n chiartey aym (jayn-H'YART-a-IMM) - of my job

Notice that the 'k' in 'kiartey' changes to 'ch' after 'jeh'n'.

cosney (KAWZ-na) - earning
t'ou uss cosney (TOW-uss-KAWZ-na) - you are earning

We could just say 'T'ou cosney' here, but adding 'uss' gives it more punch ('uss' is the emphatic 'YOU').

ram argid (ram-ERG-id) - lots of money
boirit (BURR-it) - worried
mychione (ma-H'YOWN) - about
aighoil (aykh-OLE) - lucky

'C'red ta jannoo ort?' (KERR-id-ta-JINN-oo-ORT) means
'What's the matter with you?' Literally, this is 'What is doing on you?'

bare lhiam (BARE-l'yamm) - I'd prefer
red ennagh (RIDD-enn-YAKH) - something
ny laueyn aym (na-LOW-un-IMM) - my hands

'ny laueyn aym' word for word is 'the hands at-me'. The first syllable of 'laueyn' rhymes with English 'how'.

Y dooinney boght! (a-DUNN-ya-BAWKH) - The poor man!
