- Fòn a h-aon, a h-aon, a dhà! ― Phone one-one-two!
- The following noun is always lenited, and traditionally in the singular dative case, though this rule is not universally followed nowadays.
- balach ― boy → dà bhalach ― two boys
- cailleag ― girl → dà chaileig ― two girls
- The definite article, if used, is in the singular form:
- an dà chaileig ― the two girls
- If followed by a pronoun, the pronoun is in the plural:
