C’red t’ou coontey? (KERR-id-tow-KOON-da) - What do you think?
ny mainshtyryn (na-MINE-shter-un) - the bosses

In ‘Paggad’, ‘p’ goes to ‘ph’ after ‘jeh’n’ (jayn) - ‘of the’.
foays (FOW-iss) - benefit
colught (KO-lukht) - compant
Foddee dy jean ad foays da’n cholught (FUTH-ee-the-JINN-add-FOW-iss-daan-KHO-lught) - Maybe they’ll do the company good (‘Maybe that they will do benefit to the company’).

saagh tappee (saakh-TAVV-ee) - a fast vessel

ta mish goaill aggle (ta-MISH-goyl-AHGL) - I’m afraid (‘I am taking fear’).
y traa ry-heet (a-TRAA-ra-HITT) - the future
‘heet’ comes from ‘cheet’ (‘coming’) - ‘ry’ causes the letter change.
