- Lucas: Welcome back, everyone. It's episode 200 of Learn Swedish with Fexingo, and I'm here with Luna. Exciting milestone, right? Luna: Two hundred episodes? That's amazing. I feel like we've been through a lot together, from greeting people to buying tools. What's on the menu today? Lucas: Speaking of menus, let's talk about ordering coffee at a café. It's a classic fika moment, and you'll sound super Swedish. Luna: Oh, I love that. I always struggle with what to say. Let's make it easy. Lucas: Perfect. First phrase: 'Kan jag få en kaffe?' Luna: Kan jag få en kaffe? Lucas: That means 'Can I have a coffee?' 'Kan jag få' is 'can I get', and 'en kaffe' is 'a coffee'. Luna: Kan jag få en kaffe. I can see myself using that at a café. Lucas: Good. Now, if the barista asks you 'Vill du ha mjölk i kaffet?' Luna: Vill du ha mjölk i kaffet? That's 'Do you want milk in your coffee?' Lucas: Exactly. So you can answer: 'En kaffe med mjölk, tack.' Luna: En kaffe med mjölk, tack. A coffee with milk, please. Lucas: Nice. Let's put it together. You walk up to the counter and say... Luna: Kan jag få en kaffe med mjölk, tack. Lucas: Perfect. Then you might want to ask how much it costs: 'Hur mycket kostar kaffet?' Luna: Hur mycket kostar kaffet? How much does the coffee cost? Lucas: And when you pay, you say 'Tack så mycket.' Luna: Tack så mycket. Thank you very much.
