Peddyr: T’ad gra dy nee daa-osseed charboan ta jannoo yn assee, heose ayns yn aer. Ta shin lostey rouyr stoo, my ta.
Ean: T’eh goll seose as cha jean eh cheet neose.
Peddyr: As beemayd surranse heese ayns shoh, foddee.


dy nee (the-N’YAY) - that it is
daa-osseed charboan (daa-ozz-EED-kharb-AWN) - carbon dioxide
assee (AZZ-ee/ATH-ee) - harm

T’ad gra dy nee daa-osseed charboan ta jannoo yn assee (tadd-GRAA-the-N’YAY-daa-ozz-EED-kharb-AWN-ta-JINN-oo-in-ATH-ee) - They say that it’s carbon dioxide which is doing the harm.

yn aer (in-AIR) - the air; the sky
lostey (LAWS-ta) - burning
rouyr stoo (rowr-stoo) - too much stuff

‘my ta’ (ma-TAA) is a ‘filler’ expression, often used after statements.

cha jean eh cheet (ha-JINN-aCHITT) - it will not come
neose (nooss/nohss) - down (from above)
beemayd surranse (B’YIMM-udj-SURR-anss) - we’ll be suffering
heese (heess) - down (at rest)

Manx has three words for ‘up’ and three words for ‘down’:

seose (sooss/sohss) - up (simple motion): T’eh goll seose - It goes up.
heose (hooss/hohss) - up (at rest): Heose ayns yn aer - Up in the air.
neese (neess) - up (motion from below): T’eh cheet neese - He’s coming up.

sheese (sheess)-down (simple motion): T’eh goll sheese-It goes down.
heese (heess) - down (at rest): Heese ayns shoh - Down here.
neose (nooss/nohss) - down (motion from above): T’eh cheet neose - He’s coming down.

All this can be simplified by remembering this rule: use ‘seose’ and ‘sheese’ with ‘goll’ (‘going’) and use ‘neese’ and ‘neose’ with ‘cheet’ (‘coming’).
