  • Hiya.
  • Hello. How was your day?
  • Pretty good. You?
  • It was okay.
  • But there's something I need to talk to you about…
  • Okay. Is everything alright?
  • Um. Listen. I was cleaning today,
  • and I accidentally knocked over your vase
  • and it fell and broke.
  • Oh. The blue one?
  • Yeah. I'm..I'm really sorry.
  • I know you really like that vase.
  • Oh, don't worry about it, it's alright.
  • I feel terrible, I do.
  • , I do
    "I do."のように文尾に主語と動詞を置くことがウェールズ英語では見られることがある。コーパス言語学で言うところの「焦点前置」と呼ばれるもので、前述の主語と動詞を強調する。
  • Oh,you didn't mean to break it.
  • Things like that happen all the time.
  • Oh…where did you get it?
  • Maybe I could buy you another one.
  • No honestly. Don't worry about it.
  • I have too many vases anyway.
  • We'll just use another one.
  • Are you sure?
  • Yeah. No worries.
  • Stop stressing.
  • Thanks.
