- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Swedish with Fexingo. I'm Lucas, and I'm here with Luna. Luna: Hej hej! Ready for another episode? I've been practicing my shopping phrases. Lucas: That's great! And today we're going to build on that. We've bought a jacket, a sweater, a scarf, gloves... but we're missing something. Luna: Ooh, a hat? I've been wanting a nice winter hat. Lucas: Exactly! A winter hat — en vintermössa. Let's start with the first thing you'd say at the store. Lucas: Jag skulle vilja ha en vintermössa. That means 'I would like a winter hat.' Listen again: Jag skulle vilja ha en vintermössa. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en vintermössa. Great, I remember 'Jag skulle vilja ha' from buying the scarf. Lucas: You've got it. Now, if you're looking for a specific material, like wool, you might ask: Har ni en i ull? — 'Do you have one in wool?' Har ni en i ull? Luna: Har ni en i ull? So 'ull' is wool? Lucas: Exactly. Ull. Let's practice that. Har ni en i ull? Luna: Har ni en i ull? Yeah, I can say that. Lucas: Perfect. Then you might want to know colors. Vilken färg har ni? — 'What colors do you have?' Vilken färg har ni? Luna: Vilken färg har ni? So that's the same as when we bought the scarf. Lucas: Right, it's a very useful phrase. Now, before you buy, you might want to try it on. Får jag prova den? — 'May I try it on?' Får jag prova den? Luna: Får jag prova den? I remember 'prova' from the jacket episode. Lucas: Yes, 'prova' means 'try on'. So if it fits perfectly, you say: Den passar perfekt. — 'It fits perfectly.' Den passar perfekt. Luna: Den passar perfekt. That's a good one to know. And then you buy it: Jag tar den, tack. Lucas: Exactly! Jag tar den, tack. — 'I'll take it, thanks.' Let's quickly run through all the phrases. I'll say them, and you repeat if you want. Lucas: Jag skulle vilja ha en vintermössa. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en vintermössa. Lucas: Har ni en i ull? Luna: Har ni en i ull? Lucas: Vilken färg har ni? Luna: Vilken färg har ni? Lucas: Får jag prova den? Luna: Får jag prova den? Lucas: Den passar perfekt. Luna: Den passar perfekt. Lucas: Jag tar den, tack. Luna: Jag tar den, tack. Lucas: Great! Now let's imagine you're at the store. You see a nice gray wool hat. What do you say first? Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en vintermössa. Lucas: And you want to ask if they have it in wool. Luna: Har ni en i ull? Lucas: They show you a few colors. Ask what colors they have. Luna: Vilken färg har ni? Lucas: You see one you like. You ask to try it on. Luna: Får jag prova den? Lucas: It fits great. You say... Luna: Den passar perfekt. Lucas: And you decide to buy it. Luna: Jag tar den, tack. Lucas: Perfect! You just bought a winter hat in Swedish. Luna: This is really useful. I'm going to use these phrases next time I go shopping.

Lucas: You try it on and it fits. You say... Luna: Den passar perfekt. Jag tar den, tack. Lucas: Perfect. You're ready for winter.
