Ealish: Shimmey sorch dy chiaull ta ry-chlastyn ayns Mannin nish.
Catreeney: Shen kiart - kiaull classicagh, kiaull y theay, snagchiaull, shenn chiaull, ‘ny gorrymyn’.....c’red elley?
Ealish: Ny jean jarrood ny sheshaghtyn-prash. Ta Sheshaght-Prash yn Aeglagh niartal ass towse.
Catreeney: She, t’ad cosney aundyryn dy liooar, nagh vel?

Shimmey sorch dy chiaull ta ry-chlashtyn (SHIMM-a-SURCH-the-H’YAWL-ta-ra-KHLASH-chin) - There are lots of sorts of music to be heard (‘Is many the sort of music (which) is to be heard’).
Ealish uses ‘shimmey’ for emphasis: ‘Many’s the sort of music...’
Nouns can stay in the singular after ‘shimmey’

Remember that ‘dy’ (meaning ‘of’) causes lenition (aspiration):
kiaull - music: dy chiaull - of music

Remember also how to use ‘ry’ with verbal nouns:
clashtyn - hearing: ry-chlashtyn - to be heard

kiaull classicagh (k’yawl-KLASS-ick-akh) - classical music
kiaull y theay (K’YAWL-a-TEE-a) - folk music
snagchiaull (snag-h’yawl) - jazz
shenn chiaull (shann-h’yawl) -early (old) music
‘ny gorrymyn’ (na-GORR-um-un) - the blues
C’red elley? (KERR-id-ELL-ya) - What else?
Ny jean jarrood! (na-JINN-jarr-OOD) - Don’t forget!
This last expression is an example of how the verb ‘to do/make’ can be used as an auxiliary, even with orders (imperatives):
jean! - do! / make! jarrood - forgetting jean jarrood! - forget!
To make this negative, just put ‘ny’ in front.
In fact, with this particular verb ‘jarrood’, the imperative and the verbal noun are identical - ‘jarrood’ means both ‘forgetting’ and ‘forget!’. So we could express ‘Don’t forget!’ as ‘Ny jarrood!’
sheshaghtyn-prash (SHEZH-akht-un-PRASH - brass bands
niartal (N’YART-al) - powerful
ass towse (ass-towss) - out of measure
t’ad cosney (tadd-KAWZ-na) - they’re winning
aundyryn (OWN-da-rin) - prizes
Catreeney says ‘She’ (shay) out of general agreement. At the end of what she says, ‘nagh ve/?’ effectively means ‘aren’t they?’ There’s no need to add ‘ad’!
