Example Irish Dialog Okay. Let's hope I don't mess up this Irish language dialog. Hehehe. Anyhow, I have written my name as "Shawn", which is one of the American spellings, for this dialog since it is supposed to be a mock conversation between myself and someone who is Irish. Attached is a photo of one of the parks in Boston during the autumn. :) Peadar: Dia dhuit. Shawn: Dia is Muire duit. Peadar: Conas atá tú? Shawn: Tá mé go maith. Céard fútsa? Peadar: Tá mé maith freisin, go raibh maith agat. Cad is ainm duit? Shawn: Shawn is ainm dom. Cad is ainm duit? Peadar: Peadar is ainm dom. Shawn: Tá sé go deas bualadh leat. Peadar: Tá sé go deas bualadh leatsa freisin. Cá as tú? Shawn: Is as Easthampton, Massachusetts mé, ach tá mé i mo chónaí i Sunderland, Massachusetts anois. Peadar: Tuigim. An Meiriceánach tú? Shawn: Is ea. Is Meiriceánach mé. Peadar: Is as Meiriceá mo mháthair ach is Éireannach mé. Tá mé i mo chónaí i gcathair Chorcaí. Shawn: Tuigim. An bhfuil do mháthair ina cónaí i gcathair Chorcaí freisin? Peadar: Níl. Níl sí ina cónaí sa chathair sin. Tá sí ina cónaí i Meiriceá.... i Boston, Massachusetts. Shawn: An bhfuil sí ina cónaí i Boston? Peadar: Tá. Tá sí ina cónaí ansin. Shawn: Is maith liom dul go dtí Boston san fhómhar. Tá a lán siopaí deasa ansin agus tá Boston go hálainn san fhómha. Peadar: Tá. Tá na siopaí deas. Shawn: Bhuel, tá orm imeacht anois. Slán leat. Peadar: Slán. == American English == Peadar: Hi. Shawn: Hi. Peadar: How are you? Shawn: I'm well. And you?

There are a lot of nice shops there and Boston is really beautiful in the fall. Peadar: Yes. The shops are nice. Shawn: Well, I have to leave / go now. Goodbye. Peadar: Goodbye.
