'Dinsh mee dhyt dyn dy chur 'Victoria' urree'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Va ny shenn laghyn çheet rish reeshtagh. (VANN-a-SHANN-LAA-un-CHITT-RISH- REESH-chakh) - The old days were appearing again . The idiom for 'appearing' is 'çheet rish' = 'coming to'. 'Reesht' ('Again') is made emphatic by adding '-agh'. C'red va jannoo urree? (KERR-id-va-JINN-oo-URR-ee) - What was the matter with her? ('What was doing on-her?') Daa vlein lurg da Finlo ve ruggit..(DAA-VLAYN-lurg-daa-FINN-lo-vay-RUGG-it) - Two years after Finlo was born..('Two years after to Finlo to-be born..') Remember that nouns stay in the singular after 'daa' and that 'daa' causes letter changes ('b' to 'v' here). ..ennym yn çhenn joushag shen..(ENN-um-in-chann-JOWSH-ag-SHEN) - ..the name of that old termagant.. ..dy bare lhee 'Victoria' na 'Fenella' myr ennym. (the-BARE-l'yee-vick-TAWR-ee-a- na-fen-ELL-a-mar-ENN-um) - ..that she preferred 'Victoria' to 'Fenella' as a name..('..that was-better with-her 'Victoria' than 'Fenella' as a name..') Agh hooar Amy y varriaght y keayrt shoh. (akh-HOOR-AIM-ee-a-VARR-ee-akht-a- KEERT-shoh) - But Amy won this time. ('But Amy got the victory this time') 'Barriaght' is treated as feminine, so it's 'y varriaght' for 'the victory'. Ny yei shen as ooilley.. (na-YA-ee-shen-azz-ULL-ya) - Nevertheless,.. ..va Amy goaill arrys ny keayrtyn son yn ennym shen..(va-AIM-ee-GOYL-ARR-iss- na-KEERT-un-son-in-ENN-um-SHEN) - ..Amy regretted that name sometimes..('..Amy was sometimes taking regret for that name..') Va Victoria hene ny babban condaigagh agglagh..(va-vick-TAWR-ee-a-HEEN-na- BABB-an-kon-DAAG-akh-AGG-lakh) - Victoria herself was a terribly contrary baby..('Victoria herself was in-her baby contrary terrible..') ..keayney as gaccan mennick dy liooar. (KAYN-ya-azz-GAHG-an-MENN-ick-the- L'YOOR) -..crying and complaining often enough. V'ee kione-lajer as soiet er geddyn ny reddyn v'ee geearree. (vee-K'YOWN-LAAJ- er-azz-SA-eet-err-GETH-un-na-RITH-un-vee-GEER-ee) - She was headstrong and set on getting the things she wanted ('..she was wanting') Kiart goll rish y Ven-Rein Victoria..(K'YART-GORR-ish-a-VEN-RAYN..) - Just like (the) Queen Victoria.. Dinsh mee dhyt dyn dy chur Victoria urree. (DINSH-mee-DUT-din-the-khurr-vick- TAWR-ee-a-URR-ee) - I told you not to call her Victoria. |
