goll (gull) - going
mygeayrt (ma-GEERT) - around

Let's look as some ways of getting around:

shooyl (SHOO-al) - walking
gimman (GIMM-an) - driving
shiaulley (SHAWL-a) - sailing
getlagh (GETT-lakh) - flying

'Shooyl' features in a longer word you'll see on some notices round the Island:

shooylaghan (SHOOL-akh-an) - promenade

Now for some things we use in getting round:

cassyn (KAZZ-an) - feet
gleashtan (GLAYSH-chan) - car
baatey (BAAD-a) - boat
etlan (ETT-lan) - plane

And companies which get us around:

Colught Paggad Gaal Ellan Vannin (koh-lukht-PAGG-ad-GAAL-ELL-yan-VANN-in) - Isle of Man Steam Packet Company

Skianyn Vannin (SKEE-an-an-VANN-in) - Manx Airlines 

colught (koh-lukht) - company
paggad (PAGG-ad) - packet
gaal (gaal) -steam
Ellan Vannin (ELL-yan-VANN-in) - Isle of Man

Note the word order. Passing to Manx Airlines, the Manx name actually means 'Wings of Mannin'.

We change 'Mannin' to 'Vannin' to express 'of Mannin' - just as in 'Ellan Vannin'. Another example of this is:

Tree Cassyn Vannin (TREE-KAZZ-an-VANN-in) - The Three Legs of Mann.

In Manx, we say 'The Three Feet of Mann'.

1. In Skianyn Vannin, what does the Manx name actually mean?
2. To express 'of Mannin' we change 'Mannin' to what?
3. 'Shooyl' features in a longer word you'll see on some notices.
Which word and what does it mean?
4. In Manx, we don't say 'The Three Legs of Mann'. What do we say?
 
 

kayt (kett) - cat
marrey (MARR-a) - of sea

'marrey' is the genitive of 'mooir' (moor), which means 'sea'.
So 'Kayt-Marrey' (kett-MARR-a) literally means 'Cat of Sea'.

Peddyr: Cha bee.
 

ta mee fakin (tamm-ee-FAHG-in) - I see
dy vel (the-VELL) - that ... is; that ... are

We can join groups of words together by using 'dy' (pronounced 'the'):

Ta mee fakin dy vel y Kayt-Marrey ec Doolish (tamm-ee-FAHG-in-the-VELL-a-kett-MARR-a-eck-DOO-lish) - I see that the Seacat is at Douglas.
 

cuin? (kwunn) - when?
yn chied thurrys (in-H'YIDD-TURR-us) - the first trip/journey
shiaulley (SHAWL-a) - sailing
Jemayrt (ja-MERT) - Tuesday
reesht (reesh) - again
lieh-oor lurg (l'yay-OOR-lurg) - half an hour past
mun-laa (mun-laa) - midday
eisht (esh) - then

hed eh (HEDD-a) - it will go; he will go
hig eh (HIGG-a) - it will come; it will go

Alternatives for the last two expressions are 'nee eh goll' (nee-a-GULL) for 'hed eh', and 'nee eh cheet' (nee-a-CHIT) for 'hig eh'.

tarroogh (tarr-OOGH) - busy
fea (fay) - a rest

Jemayrt y 

noon as noal (NOON-azz-NAWL) - backwards and forwards

A more exact translation of 'noon as noal' is 'to and fro'.
'noon' means 'over' in the sense of going away from the speaker,
'noal' means 'over' if the motion is towards the speaker from 'over there'.

'nagh bee?' (nakh-BEE) at the end of Ean's question about the Seacat's going to and fro is translated as 'won't it?'

cre ny laghyn? (KRA-na-LAA-un) - which days?
cre ny laghyn elley? (KRA-na-LAA-un-ELL-ya) - which other days?

To ask 'Which day?' (singular), we say 'Cre'n laa?' (krinn-LAA).
This has been shortened from 'Cre yn laa?' ('What the day?')

'Ta lane fys ayd er' (ta-leddn-FISS-edd-ERR) means 'You know all about' ('Complete knowledge is at you on it').

turrys (TURR-iss) - a trip
y Kayt-Marrey (a-KETT-MARR-a) - the SeaCat

The literal meaning of ‘y Kayt-Marrey’ is ‘the Cat (of the) Sea’.
In Manx, the normal word for ‘sea’ is ‘keayn’ (keed’n).
Another word for ‘sea’ is ‘mooir’ (moor), which has genitive ‘marrey’ (MARR-a), meaning ‘of (the) sea’.
Note that ‘kayt’ becomes ‘chayt’ after ‘er y’ (‘on the’).
As a general rule, ‘k’ and ‘c’ change to ‘ch’ and ‘qu’ changes to ‘wh’ after a preposition followed by ‘the’ in the singular:

corp (korp) - body: da’n chorp (daan-KHORP) - to the body
kione (k’yown) - head: er y chione (ERR-a-H’YOWN) - on the head
quaiyl (kwayl) - court: ayns y whaiyl (UNNSS-a-H’WAYL) - in the court

Cre’n Sorch dy Vaatey?

What Sort of Boat?

cre’n sorch? (krinn-SURCH) - what sort?
dy vaatey (the-VAAD-a) - of (a) boat

After ‘dy’ (‘of’), we get the letter change (mutation) called lenition or aspiration.
In this change, ‘b’ and ‘m’ become ‘v’, ‘c’ and ‘k’ become ‘ch’, ‘d’ and ‘g’ become ‘gh’, ‘f’ is dropped, ‘j’ becomes ‘y’, ‘p’ becomes ‘ph’, ‘qu’ becomes ‘wh’, ‘s’, ‘sh’, ‘t’, ‘th’ and ‘ch’ become ‘h’.

Here are some other examples:
caffee (KAFF-ee) - coffee: cappan dy chaffee (KAVV-an-the-KHAFF-ee) - a cup of coffee
tey (tay) - tea: cappan dy hey (KAVV-an-the-HAY) - a cup of tea

Alternatively: Ta mee credjal dy ren y Kayt-Marrey goll ....

The ‘ch’ in ‘cheet’ (‘coming’) becomes ‘h’ after ‘ry’.

saagh tappee (saakh-TAVV-ee) - a fast craft
un-cholbagh (unn-KHOLB-akh) - mono-hull(ed)

Answer these in Manx.
 

1. When can you sail regularly between the Isle of Man and Ireland?
2. How long does the trip between Douglas and Heysham take?
3. How long does it take to go to Ireland on the Seacat?
4. Which trip takes two and a half hours?
5. Where do the boats sail to in England?

You can sail or fly to and from the Isle of Man = Foddee oo shiaulley ny getlagh gys as voish Mannin.

In the summer, there are sailings between the Island and England and Ireland = Ayns y tourey, ta lhongyn shiaulley eddyr yn Ellan as Sostyn as Nerin.

‘What about the winter?’ ‘There are no regular sailings to Ireland then’ = ‘Cre mysh yn geurey?’ ‘Cha nel lhongyn shiaulley dy reiltagh gys Nerin eisht.’

‘Where do the boats sail from?’ ‘From Liverpool and Heysham in England, and from Dublin and Belfast in Ireland’ = ‘Cre voish ta ny baatyn shiaulley?’
‘Voish Lerpoyll as Heysham ayns Sostyn, as voish Divlyn as Beeal Feirshtey ayns Nerin’.

‘Are they long trips?’ ‘It depends on the craft. Between two and a half hours and six hours’. = ‘Nee turrysyn liauyrey t’ayn?’ ‘T’eh croghey er yn taagh. Eddyr daa oor dy lieh as shey oor’.

‘I prefer the boat. I like the trip.’ ‘I’m always sick - I prefer the plane’ = ‘Share lhiam y baatey. S’mie lhiam y turrys’. ‘Ta mish kinjagh çhing - share lhiams yn etlan’.

‘What time does the boat leave?’ ‘At 8.30 in the morning’ = ‘Cre’n traa ta’n baatey faagail?’ ‘Ec lieh-oor lurg hoght ayns y voghrey’.

‘What does it cost on the boat?’ ‘That depends on lots of things’ = ‘Quoid t’eh costal er y vaatey?’ ‘Ta shen croghey er ram reddyn’.

Between £23 and £29.50 single = Eddyr tree punt as feed, as nuy punt as feed as lieh-phunt, un raad.

£36 day return = Shey punt jeig as feed, goll as çheet ayns laa.

‘How much is the fare for four passengers and the vehicle?’ = ‘Quoid ta’n tailley son kiare troailtee as y carbyd?’ 

‘Can I get a special deal?’ ‘Yes’ = ‘Noddym geddyn dellal er-lheh?’ ‘Foddee oo’.

I’d rather go on a fast craft = Bare lhiam goll er saagh bieau.

The sea’s like glass = Ta’n keayn goll rish traie-geinnee.

There’s a gale: the boat’s not sailing today = Ta gaal ayn: cha nel y baatey shiaulley jiu.

The Island’s airport is at Ronaldsway = Ta purt-aer yn Ellan ec Roonysvaie.

‘How long is the flight from Ronaldsway to Liverpool?’ ‘Between twenty and thirty minutes’ = ‘Cre cho liauyr as ta’n etlagh eddyr Roonysvaie as Lerpoyll?’ ‘Eddyr feed as jeih minnid as feed’.

The ticket to London is very expensive = Ta’n tiggad gys Lunnin feer chostal.

Do you fly to Glasgow every day = Vel shiu getlagh gys Glaschu dy chooilley laa?

‘Have you got much luggage?’ ‘No, I’ve only got hand luggage’ = ‘Vel monney scudlagh ayd?’ ‘Cha nel, cha nel agh scudlagh-laue aym.’

I prefer the jet plane = Share lhiam yn etlan skiootagh.

‘Can you fly direct to Spain from the Island?’ ‘Only on special trips’ = ‘Nod oo getlagh dy jeeragh gys y Spaainey veih’n Ellan?’ ‘Er turrysyn er-lheh nyn lomarcan’.

The plane lands at twenty to three = Nee yn etlan çheet gys y thalloo ec feed minnid gys tree.

The plane took off at eight o’clock = Ren yn etlan girree ec hoght er y chlag.
