*Sinéad:*	Cén chaoi a bhfuil cúrsaí grá leat féin? How’s your own love life?
*Martina:*	Cuibheasach. Tá a fhios agat an fear sin ar bhuail mé leis an mhí seo caite? Middling. You know that man I met last month?
*Sinéad:*	Tony? Tony?
*Martina:*	Is ea. Tá sé ag cur téacsanna chugam gan stop. Yes. He’s constantly sending me texts.
*Sinéad:*	Agus? And?
*Martina:*	Níl mórán suime agam ann – tá sé cineál leadránach. I haven’t much interest in him - he’s kind of boring.
*Sinéad:*	Ach is fear deas é. But he’s a nice man.
*Martina:*	Tá sé cineál dáiríre freisin. Chuir sé na téacsanna seo chugam aréir: “Tá mé go mór i ngrá leat, a stór.”; “Bím ag smaoineamh ort gan stop.”; “Is tú grá geal mo chroí.” He’s kind of serious as well. He sent me these texts last night: “I’m deeply in love with you, darling.”; “I’m always thinking of you.”; “You’re my sweetheart.”
*Sinéad:*	An fear bocht. Is léir go bhfuil sé dúnta i ngrá leat. Ach fan go gcuirfidh sé aithne mhaith ort! The poor man. He’s obviously head over heels in love with you. But wait until he gets to know you better!
