Co-loayrtys (ko-LAWRT-uss) - Conversation

Ealish: Cha lhisagh beiyn bio erbee ve currit magh ass Mannin. Ta gaue ayn dy bee ad currit dys y Cheer Vooar lurg shen as ad foast bio.
Catreeney: Agh cre mysh ny eirinee? Cre mysh yn argid oc?
Ealish: Ta thie-feill braew ec Mannin nish. Cha lhiass da ny eirinee surranse.
Catreeney: S’treih lhiam dy vel beiyn erbee surranse. Agh ta mee gourys dy vel
sleih ennagh boirit ec surranse ny beiyn as s’cummey lhieu surranse sleih elley.

cha lhisagh (ha-L’YITH-akh) - ought not, should not
beiyn (BA-een) - animals
bio (b’yoh) - alive
erbee (er-BEE) - at all
ve (vay) - to be
currit (KURR-it) - sent

Ealish’s first statement could also be expressed in Manx as:
Cha lhisagh beiyn bio erbee goll er cur magh ass Mannin (ha-L’YITH-akh-BA-een-B’YOH-er-BEE-GULL-err-kur-MAKH-ass-MANN-in) - No live animals at all should be sent out of Mann.

gaue (gow) - danger
cre mysh? (kra-MUSH) - what about?
yn argid oc (in-ERG-id-OCK) - their money

Catreeney could have said ‘nyn argid’ (ninn-ERG-id) instead of ‘yn argid oc’ (‘the money at them’) for ‘their money’. But using ‘nyn’ risks confusion because it can mean ‘our’, ‘your’ or ‘their’.

thie-feill (ty-fail) - meat plant
cha lhiass da (ha-L’YASS-daa) - need not
s’treih lhiam (stry-l’yamm) - I’m sorry
gourys (GOW-riss) - suspecting
sleih ennagh (sly-enn-YAKH) - some people
boirit (BURR-it) - worried
s’cummey lhieu (SCUMM-a-L’YOW) - they don’t care
surranse sleih elley (SURR-anss-sly-ELL-ya) - the suffering of others
