*Say:*	Pass me the salt and the pepper, please. Cuir chugam an salann agus an piobar, le do thoil.

*Say:*	Thank you. Go raibh maith agat.
*Oliver:*	An bhfuil an sicín go deas? Is the chicken nice?
*Say:*	It’s very tasty and nice and spicy. What about your own meal? Tá sé an-bhlasta agus breá spíosrach. Cad faoi do bhéile féin?
*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.
*Say:*	Oh, really? Would you like more of the naan bread? Ó, dáiríre? Ar mhaith leat tuilleadh den arán naan?
*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!
*Say:*	Would you like more wine? Ar mhaith leat tuilleadh fíona?
*Oliver:*	Tá mo sháith agam – braithim rud beag súgach! I have enough - I feel a little bit tipsy!
*Say:*	But it’s Friday - we don’t have to get up in the morning. Ach an Aoine atá ann – ní gá dúinn éirí ar maidin.
*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!
