She emshyr yindyssagh t’ayn (shay-EMM-sher-YIND-iss-akh-TAWN) - It’s wonderful weather (‘It’s wonderful weather (which) is in’).

gyn ourys erbee (ginn-OW-riss-er-BEE) - without any doubt
she (shay) - it is (‘yes’)
share (share) - best, better
To say ‘the best X’, we sandwich ‘X’ between ‘yn’ and ‘share’:
yn sourey share (in-SOW-ra-SHARE) - the best summer

ymmodee (IMM-oth-ee) - many
blein (blayn) - a year
Often, ‘rish’ means ‘to’. Here, it means ‘for’:
rish ymmodee blein (rish-IMM-oth-ee-BLAYN) - for many years
Note that we can leave ‘blein’ in the singular here.

er-lhiam pene (err-l’yamm-PEEN) - I myself think
After a word ending in ‘m’, ‘hene’ (heen/heedn), meaning ‘self’, becomes ‘pene’ (peen/peedn).

bunnys marrooit (BUNN-iss-MARR-oo-it) - nearly killed
