creoi (KRA-ee) - hard
yn chooid chreoi (in-khoodj-KHRA-ee) - hardware
'Cooid' is feminine, so 'c' in 'creoi' becomes 'ch'.
Remember how Manx expresses 'to have':
Vel ooilley yn chooid chreoi ayd foast? (vell-ULL-ya-in-khoodj-KHRA-ee-edd-fohss)
- Have you got all the hardware yet? ('Is all the hardware at you yet?')
cha nel (ha-NELL) - is not ('no')
myr dooyrt mee (mar-DOORT-mee) - as I said
tra (traa) - when
vees (viss) - will be
Tra vees shen aym (traa-viss-SHEN-imm) - When I have that ('When that will be at me').
aarloo (ERL-oo) - ready
quoi? (kwoy) - who
t'ou goll (tow-GULL) - you're going
cur huggey (kur HUGG-a) - sending to
Infinitives in Manx are made by putting 'dy' in front of the verb-noun and (if necessary)
changing the first letter:
dy chur huggey (the-KHUR-hugg-a) - to send to
heemayd (HEE-mudj) - we'll see
