Lessoon Keead as Nane: Y Jough - Y Fockle S’jerree
Lesson One Hundred and One: Drink - The Last Word


keead as nane (KEE-ud-azz-NAAN) - 101
y fockle (a-FAWG’L) - the word
s’jerree (S’CHERR-ee) - last


t’eh jeeaghyn (tay-JEEKH-un) - it looks
s’olk shen (sulk-shen) - that’s bad
hig (higg) - will come

‘Becoming’ is expressed by ‘cheet dy ve’ (CHITT-the-VAY) - ‘coming to be’. An alternative to ‘Hig yn meshtallys dy ve ny smessey’ is:

Nee yn meshtallys cheet dy ve ny smessey. (NEE-un-MESH-chall-iss-CHITT-the-VAY-na-SMETH-a) - Drunkenness will get worse.

cha jig (ha-JIGG) - will not come

In response to ‘Hig ...’, ‘Cha jig’ effectively means ‘No’. The response to ‘Nee yn meshtallys cheet ...’ would be ‘Cha jean’ (ha-JINN).

liauyr (l’yowr) - long
s’lhiurey (SL’YOOR-a) - longer; longest
giare (g’yair) - short
s’girrey (SGIRR-a) - shorter; shortest

Note the following:
ooryn-oastys s’lhiurey (OOR-un-AWST-iss-SL’YOOR-a) - longer licensing hours
This can also mean ‘longest licensing hours’.

ooryn-oastys s’girrey (OOR-un-AWST-iss-SGIRR-a) - shorter licensing hours
This can also mean ‘shortest licensing hours’.

Bee ny ooryn-oastys ny s’lhiurey na t’ad nish (BEE-na-OOR-un-AWST-iss-na-SL’YOOR-a-na-tadd-NISH) - The licensing hours will be longer than they are now.

anchaslys (an-KHAZZ-liss) - difference
