Arregorda-ti-ndi chi mancai in machina ci ponemus casi un’ora. | That’s not true! From the bus station in Piazza Matteotti you arrive in an hour and a quarter. And inside you even have air conditioning. Remember that even by car we take almost an hour. |
| F | E a ita ora partit custa corriera? | And what time does this bus leave? |
| S | Sa prima a is cincu de mengianu e sa segunda a mesudí. | The first one at five in the morning and the second one at midday. |

| S | Manna est, sa praja? | Is it big, the beach? |
| E | Funt cuatru prajas cun promontórius e isuleddas. In totu, tres chilometrus. Ti podint abastai? | There are four beaches with promontories and islets. All in all three kilometers. Can that (they) be enough? |

| F | Ita mi circas tassí! Ci andas cun su trenu de sa statzioni de pratza Matteotti. Su billetu costat pagu e nudda e arribas in cincu minutus. | But why a taxi! You go by train from the Piazza Matteotti station. The ticket costs very little and you arrive in 5 minutes. |
| S | E gé ndi scieis duas arrigas! | You know a lot of tricks! |
| E | Seus genti organizada, nosus! | We are organized people! |
