An siúlóid beag Chuaigh mé ar siúlóid beag le mo madra ar maidin. Shiúlamar trí na phairceanna agus suas an gcnoc. Bhí se iontach fuar lastaigh, bhí an gaoth ag seidiú. Bhí an grian ag soisigh agus bhí rionnt beathaí ann, bhí athas urthu foain solas griane. Ghlaigh mé ar mo madra nuair a rith sé ro fhada uaim. Bhí cota mór orm ach ní raibh hata orm mar nil hata ceart agam, agus fuair mó ceann agus mo clois fuar. Stad muid agus d'amharc muid os coinn na farraige, Bhí sé go halainn. Ghearr mé an siúloid gearr mar caithfaidh mé dul chuig an obair. Ní maith le mo madra dul ar siúliódaí beaga, Is maith leis cinn fhada. Is marda maith é. silim go bhfuil sé an madra is maith.

bhí áthas orthu faoin tsolas gréine [faoi sholas na gréine sounds more natural though]. Ghlaoigh mé ar mo mhadra nuair a rith sé rófhada uaim. Bhí cóta mór orm ach ní raibh hata orm mar níl hata ceart agam, agus fuair mó cheann agus mo clois chluasa fuar. Stad muid agus d'amharc muid os cionn na farraige, Bhí sé go hálainn. Ghearr mé an tsiúlóid gearr [it's enough to say "I cut the walk", gearr can mean "cut" or "shorten"] mar caithfaidh mé dul chuig an obair. Ní maith le mo mhadra dul ar siúlóidaí beaga, Is maith leis cinn fhada. Is madra maith é. Sílim go bhfuil sé gurb é an madra is maith fearr é.

Maith thú, a Phádraig. Bí cúramach leis an tséimhiú.

An tsiúlóid bheag [siúlóid is feminine, so a following adjective is lenited (séimhiú); normally feminine words are lenited after an as well, but s can't be lenited by an, instead it gets a prefixed t: tsiúlóid is pronounced as tiúlóid]

Chuaigh mé ar siúlóid bheag le mo mhadra [if you prefer Ulster Irish, then "dog" is madadh rather than madra] ar maidin. Shiúlamar tríd [before an or na, trí becomes tríd] na pháirceanna agus suas an gcnoc. Bhí sé iontach fuar lastaigh amuigh [laistigh means "inside", maybe you were thinking of lasmuigh, which does mean "outside of something specific", "outside" in a more general sense is amuigh], bhí an ghaoth ag séideadh [séideadh is indeed pronounced séidiú in Ulster, but it's spelt differently; in other parts of Ireland -eadh and -iú are pronounced differently]. Bhí an ghrian ag soilsiú agus bhí roinnt beathach [in many words the genitive plural is the same as the nominative singular; beathach is the Ulster form of beithíoch, it means "beast" but generally refers to horses in Ulster and cows elsewhere] ann,
