- Lucas: Hey there. Welcome back to Learn Danish with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. Hey everyone. It is so good to be back with you. Lucas: Yeah. We are doing great work together. Luna: For sure. Last time we talked about shopping for clothes and sizes. Lucas: Right. You learned how to ask for different sizes. Luna: I did. But today we are going somewhere else entirely. Lucas: We are visiting the optician. Luna: Oh. The place where they check your eyes. Lucas: Exactly. In Denmark, it is called et optikerstudie. Luna: Okay. So if my vision is bad, what do I say first? Lucas: You want to tell them you cannot see clearly. Luna: How do I say that? Lucas: Listen closely. Jeg kan ikke se klart. Luna: Jeg kan ikke se klart. Lucas: Perfect. That means 'I cannot see clearly.' Luna: It feels important to get this right. Lucas: It does. Let us try it again slowly. Luna: Jeg kan ikke se klart. Lucas: Very good. Now normally. Luna: Jeg kan ikke se klart. Lucas: Nice. You said that well. Luna: Thank you. So I walk in and I say that. Lucas: Yes. Then the optician might ask you a question. Luna: What would they ask? Lucas: They might ask if something looks good to you. Luna: Like during the test? Lucas: Exactly. They show you letters on a wall. Luna: Oh, I remember those from movies. Lucas: Right. And they ask: Er det godt? Luna: Er det godt? Lucas: That means 'Is it good?' Luna: So if I can read it, I say yes. Lucas: If you can read it, you say 'Ja, det er godt.' Luna: But if it is blurry, I just shake my head. Lucas: Or you can use our first phrase again. Luna: Jeg kan ikke se klart. Lucas: Exactly. Repetition helps. Luna: It really does. Okay, let us keep going. Lucas: Sometimes the test has shapes. Luna: Shapes? Lucas: Yes. A black circle. Luna: Oh, I have seen that one too. Lucas: They might ask you to point to it. Luna: How do I ask where it is? Lucas: You ask: Hvor er den sorte cirkel? Luna: Hvor er den sorte cirkel? Lucas: Spot on. That means 'Where is the black circle?' Luna: Den sorte... cirkel. Lucas: Yes. Black circle. Luna: I feel like I am getting better at this. Lucas: You are. It builds up nicely. Luna: Okay, so after the test, what happens? Lucas: If you need glasses, they will tell you. Luna: Do I need to know how to say that? Lucas: Yes. You say: Jeg har brug for briller. Luna: Jeg har brug for briller. Lucas: That means 'I need glasses.' Luna: It sounds strong. I like it. Lucas: It is direct and clear. Luna: Let us try it one more time. Lucas: Go ahead. Luna: Jeg har brug for briller. Lucas: Excellent. There you go. Luna: Okay, now I am in the shop part. Lucas: Right. Looking at frames. Luna: The optician might hold up a pair. Lucas: Yes. And ask: Kan du prøve disse? Luna: Kan du prøve disse? Lucas: That means 'Can you try these?' Luna: Ah, so I am trying them on. Lucas: Yes. You put them on your face. Luna: And look in the mirror. Lucas: Exactly. It is a fun part. Luna: I hope I look cool. Lucas: You will. Danes like simple styles. Luna: Good to know. Not too flashy. Lucas: Usually. Less is more.
