“Bha thu a’ smaoineachainn mura deidheadh tu ann, gu robh thu air call a-mach air an t-uabhas dhe na rudan a bha a’ dol air adhart anns an àite.”
“You thought, if you didn’t go, that you had missed out on so many of the things that were happening in the place.”

nan deidheadh tu ann ‘if you went, if you were to go’
