Siobhán and Colm are still at the party. She introduces him to a friend of hers.
| Colm: | Aithním an bhean sin – tá sí feicthe agam cúpla uair cheana féin, measaim. An Spáinneach í? I recognise that woman – I’ve seen her a few times before, I think. Is she Spanish? |
| Siobhán: | Ní hea. Sin Antonella – is Iodálach í. Rugadh agus tógadh sa Róimh í ach bhog sí anseo deich mbliana ó shin. No. That’s Antonella – she’s Italian. She was born and raised in Rome but she moved here ten years ago. |
| Colm: | Chuala mé í ag labhairt Gaeilge le Jennifer ag tús na hoíche! I heard her speaking Irish to Jennifer at the beginning of the night! |
| Siobhán: | Is ea, tá Gaeilge líofa aici. Rinne sí cúpla cúrsa i nDún na nGall agus i gConamara. Yes, she speaks fluent Irish. She did a few courses in Donegal and Conamara. |
| Colm: | Is bean chliste í! She’s a clever woman! |
| Siobhán: | Is ea, tá sí an-chliste. Cuirfidh mé in aithne duit í. A Antonella, seo é Colm. Yes, she’s very clever. I’ll introduce her to you. Antonella, this is Colm. |
| Colm: | Tá sé go deas bualadh leat. It’s nice to meet you. |
| Antonella: | Tá sé go deas bualadh leatsa freisin. It’s nice to meet you as well. |
