Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Dutch with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Ready for another tiny lesson? Lucas: Absolutely. You know, last time we bought apples at the market. Today we're going to the pharmacy again. Luna: Oh, more pharmacy phrases? I love it. What's the situation? Lucas: Imagine your eyes feel dry and scratchy. You need eye drops. So let's learn how to ask for oogdruppels. Luna: Oogdruppels? That means 'eye drops'? Lucas: Yes. Oog is 'eye', druppels are 'drops'. So oogdruppels. Listen: oogdruppels. Luna: Oogdruppels. That's a bit of a mouthful. Lucas: You'll get it. Repeat after me: oogdruppels. Luna: Oogdruppels. Lucas: Good. Now, to say 'I am looking for eye drops,' you say: Ik zoek oogdruppels. Luna: Ik zoek oogdruppels. Lucas: Perfect. Ik zoek means 'I am looking for'. So you can use that for anything. Ik zoek oogdruppels. Luna: Ik zoek oogdruppels. Got it. Lucas: Now, if the pharmacist asks what it's for, you can say: Voor droge ogen. That means 'for dry eyes'. Luna: Voor droge ogen. Droge is 'dry', ogen is 'eyes'. So droge ogen. Lucas: Yes. And you can put it together: Ik zoek oogdruppels voor droge ogen. Luna: Ik zoek oogdruppels voor droge ogen. That feels more complete. Lucas: Exactly. Now another way to ask is: Heeft u oogdruppels? That means 'Do you have eye drops?' Luna: Heeft u oogdruppels? Heeft u is 'do you have'? Lucas: Yes. Heeft u is formal or polite. You can use it with any item. Heeft u oogdruppels? Luna: Heeft u oogdruppels? And maybe they say yes. Lucas: Then you can ask the price: Hoeveel kost dit? 'How much does this cost?' Luna: Hoeveel kost dit? Lucas: And when you decide to buy, say: Ik neem dit. 'I'll take this.' Luna: Ik neem dit. Simple. Lucas: Let's practice a full conversation. I'll be the pharmacist, you be the customer. You walk in. Luna: Okay. Goedemorgen. Ik zoek oogdruppels. Lucas: Goedemorgen. Voor wat? Luna: Voor droge ogen. Lucas: Ah, hier zijn oogdruppels. Luna: Hoeveel kost dit? Lucas: Dat is zes euro. Luna: Ik neem dit. Dank u wel. Lucas: Alstublieft. Perfect. You did great. Luna: Thanks. I like that we keep building on pharmacy visits.
