Heel - gu sail (nas fhearr saoilidh mi na 'sail' fhein)/(better than 'sail' by itself)

Sit - suidh!

Stay - fuirich! (fan! mas e Gàidhlig Earraghaidheil a tha sibh ag iarraidh math dh'fhaoidte; Cha bhitheadh 'stad' freagarrach, agus cha bhitheadh 'feith' uamhasach nadarra - 'a' feitheamh' = 'waiting')

Come (here) - trobhad!; tiugainn! (Chan urrainn dhuibh 'thig' a radh leis fhein - feumaidh tu facal eile comhla ris, mar eiseamplar 'thig an-seo'.)

Fetch - faigh (sin/seo/e)

(Get) down - laigh sìos! (Chan e ordugh a tha san fhacal 'dol' - dh'fhaodadh sibh 'gabh sios' no 'sios leat' a radh.)

(Be) quiet - bi samhach!

Attack - gabh chuige!; gabh air/oirre etc.! (Chan e ordugh a tha san fhacal 'ionnsaigh'. Co-dhiu, tha mi 'n dochas nach bi sibh feumach air an ordugh seo!!)

Stop that - sguir dheth! ('sgurr' = mountain peak)

?Off? - chan eil mi a' tuigsinn carson a chleachdadh duine seo an aite 'down', agus co-dhiu chan e an aon rud a tha ann an 'air falbh' - ach 'having gone', no 'somebody is away somewhere'.

Mu dheireadh, seo facal eile a bhiodh feumail, 's docha - ma tha sibh a' bruidhinn ri cuilean, canaidh sibh "A Chuilidh" - car coltach ri 'doggy' ann am Beurla. 'S e "A chon" a bhiodh na seann nàbaidhean againn a' chanail nuair a bhiodh iad a' bruidhinn ris a' chù. (Tuiseal gairmeach). Tha fhios nach eil e cho cairdeil ri "A chuilidh".
