*Louise:*	Cuir chugam an salann agus an piobar, le do thoil. Pass me the salt and the pepper, please.
	Cuireann sé an piobar agus an salann chuici. He passes her the salt and pepper.
*Louise:*	Go raibh maith agat. Thank you.
*Oliver:*	An bhfuil an sicín go deas? Is the chicken nice?
*Louise:*	Tá sé an-bhlasta agus breá spíosrach. Cad faoi do bhéile féin? It’s very tasty and nice and spicy. What about your own meal?
*Oliver:*	Tá sé deas go leor ach tá an t-anlann an-saibhir agus rud beag milis. It’s nice enough but the sauce is very rich and a little bit sweet.
*Louise:*	Ó, dáiríre? Ar mhaith leat tuilleadh den arán naan? Oh, really? Would you like more of the naan bread?
*Oliver:*	Níor mhaith go raibh maith agat – tá mé ag éirí lán. Ach sílim go mbeidh milseog agam, mar sin féin! No thank you - I’m getting full. But I think I’ll have dessert, all the same!
*Louise:*	Ar mhaith leat tuilleadh fíona? Would you like more wine?
*Oliver:*	Tá mo sháith agam – braithim rud beag súgach! I have enough - I feel a little bit tipsy!
*Louise:*	Ach an Aoine atá ann – ní gá dúinn éirí ar maidin. But it’s Friday - we don’t have to get up in the morning.
*Oliver:*	Tá an ceart agat! Beidh gloine amháin eile agam. Ach cuirfidh mé an milleán ortsa má bhíonn póit orm ar maidin! You’re right! I’ll have one more glass. But I’ll blame you if I have a hangover in the morning!
