Latest / Learn Danish with Fexingo / Danish at the Bakery - Buying Pastries
Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn Danish with Fexingo. I was just thinking about our last episode on baking... Luna: Oh, that was fun. 'At bage', 'at røre', 'at smage'... Lucas: Exactly. And it made me hungry. So today, let's take that baking energy... to the bakery. In Danish, 'bageri'. Luna: Aww, I love that. I could go for a pastry right now. Lucas: Perfect. So if you're at a Danish bakery, you might want to say this: 'Jeg vil gerne have en wienerbrød.' Luna: Jeg vil gerne have en wienerbrød. That's... I would like a Danish pastry? Lucas: Exactly. Say it with me: 'en wienerbrød.' Luna: en wienerbrød. Hmm, it sounds like Vienna bread, but it's a pastry. Lucas: That's right. So full sentence: 'Jeg vil gerne have en wienerbrød.' Luna: Jeg vil gerne have en wienerbrød. I'm getting good at this. Lucas: You are. Now, maybe you want it with cream. In Danish, 'med fløde'. Luna: Med fløde. With cream. Med fløde. I'll have one of those. Lucas: So you could say: 'Jeg vil gerne have en wienerbrød med fløde.' Luna: Oh, that's smooth. 'Med fløde' just fits right in. 'Jeg vil gerne have en wienerbrød med fløde.' Lucas: Beautiful. Now, maybe you're in the mood for something more simple. Like a bread roll. 'Et rundstykke.' Luna: Rundstykke. That sounds kind of round. Lucas: It is round. 'Et rundstykke.' You can say: 'Jeg vil gerne have et rundstykke.' Luna: Jeg vil gerne have et rundstykke. So I'm at the bakery, I want a pastry with cream, and a bread roll. Lucas: Then you might point and say: 'To stykker, tak.' That means 'two pieces, please.' Luna: To stykker, tak. That's handy. So I can order two things at once. Lucas: Yep. Like: 'Jeg vil gerne have en wienerbrød med fløde, og et rundstykke. To stykker, tak.' Luna: Oh, that's a mouthful, but let me try. 'Jeg vil gerne have en wienerbrød med fløde, og et rundstykke. To stykker, tak.' Lucas: Perfect. You're ready for the bakery counter. Luna: I feel ready. But wait, how do I say 'I'll take that one' if I see something good? Lucas: Good question. That might be for another day. For now, let's stick with these. Luna: Okay. So let me practice again. 'Jeg vil gerne have en wienerbrød med fløde.' Lucas: Great. And remember, 'to stykker, tak' is a lifesaver when you want two of something. Luna: To stykker, tak. I'll use that at the bakery. Maybe I'll actually get two pastries. Lucas: That's the spirit. So let's do a quick recap. We have 'Jeg vil gerne have en wienerbrød.' Luna: Jeg vil gerne have en wienerbrød. Lucas: 'Med fløde.' Luna: Med fløde. Lucas: 'Jeg vil gerne have et rundstykke.' Luna: Jeg vil gerne have et rundstykke. Lucas: And 'to stykker, tak.' Luna: To stykker, tak. I love these. They're so useful. Lucas: I'm glad you do. And you know, if Fexingo has been helping you make real progress with Danish, there's a simple way to keep that going. A few listeners chip in monthly at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Luna: Yeah, that's what keeps our show ad-free and going. We appreciate every bit. Lucas: So back to pastries. Imagine you're at the counter and you say: 'Jeg vil gerne have en wienerbrød med fløde, tak.' Luna: Oh, that sounds polite. And then maybe I add: 'Og et rundstykke. To stykker, tak.' Lucas: Perfect. You'll get your pastries and your bread roll in no time. Luna: I'm hungry now. Let's practice these phrases a few more times. Lucas: Sounds good. So repeat after me: 'Jeg vil gerne have en wienerbrød.' Luna: Jeg vil gerne have en wienerbrød. Lucas: 'Med fløde.' Luna: Med fløde. Lucas: 'Jeg vil gerne have et rundstykke.' Luna: Jeg vil gerne have et rundstykke. Lucas: And 'to stykker, tak.' Luna: To stykker, tak. Lucas: And with that, you're all set for the bakery. Practice these till we chat again. Luna: Will do. Thanks, Lucas. And thanks to all our listeners for joining. See you next time.
