Examples

“É indudabre que a vida do campo é a máis aditada aa naturaleza do home; pois que na vida das cidades, como súa mercé ben sabe, hai moito de artificioso e estudiado, e imposto; o cal non pode menos de violentar os nosos naturales instintos e as nosas tendenzas.”

«There's no doubt that life in the country is the most suitable for the human nature; because in urban life, as your grace well know, there is much of artificial and studied, and imposed; which just can but force our natural instincts and our tendencies.»

“Anque España xa toda está rendida, e casi tod'as prazas xa tomadas, e a libertá perdida na Cruña vai a dar as boqueadas; non pode consentir, o honor llo adita, que o máis fero inimigo sin ver sangre profane a gran ciudá de María Pita.”

The whole of Spain has surrendered, almost every stronghold taken, the lost freedom is going to take her last breath in A Coruña; but he cannot consent, honour dictates it, that the fiercest enemy profanes the great city of María Pita without the sight of blood
