I can't write Faith's voice, wah...

American vocab question: if Robin gave something to Faith as a gift would she say "he bought it to me" (this is what *I'd* say but I strongly suspect that's only correct in my dialect), "he bought it for me" or "he bought it me"? Or something else entirely?

To me as well: I don't speak a word of Irish, but thinking about it my word order is probably very influenced by it (I wouldn't say, to come up with a random example, "Don't you want any ice-cream?" I'd say "Do you not want any ice-cream?")
