Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, ready for another Dutch episode? Luna: Yes! I loved learning about cough syrup last time. What's today's topic? Lucas: Today we're going back to the pharmacy — but this time for bandages and first aid. Luna: Oh, like if you cut yourself? I can see that being really useful. Lucas: Exactly. And you know, if Fexingo has been helping you make progress with Dutch, even a small donation at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo makes a real difference in keeping these episodes ad-free. Luna: Yeah, a few dollars a month genuinely helps us keep going. So if you've gotten something out of these, consider it. Lucas: Alright, so first phrase: 'Ik heb me gesneden.' That means 'I cut myself.' Let's break it down. 'Ik heb' means 'I have', 'me' means 'myself', and 'gesneden' is 'cut'. Luna: Ik heb me gesneden. Lucas: Good. Now imagine you're at the pharmacy and you need a bandage. 'Hebt u een pleister?' — 'Do you have a bandage?' Luna: Hebt u een pleister? Lucas: Perfect. 'Pleister' is the word for a sticky bandage. And if you need gauze or wrap, you'd say 'Ik zoek verband.' — 'I'm looking for bandages.' Luna: Ik zoek verband. Lucas: Great. Now let's put it together in a little scene. You walk in and say: 'Ik heb me gesneden. Hebt u een pleister?' Luna: Ik heb me gesneden. Hebt u een pleister? Lucas: And the pharmacist might show you some. Then you can say: 'Ik wil graag een pleister.' — 'I would like a bandage, please.' Luna: Ik wil graag een pleister. Lucas: And finally, ask the price: 'Hoeveel kost dit?' — 'How much does this cost?' Luna: Hoeveel kost dit? Lucas: Excellent. Let's do a quick review. I'll say the English, you say the Dutch. 'I cut myself.' Luna: Ik heb me gesneden. Lucas: Do you have a bandage? Luna: Hebt u een pleister? Lucas: I'm looking for bandages. Luna: Ik zoek verband. Lucas: I would like a bandage. Luna: Ik wil graag een pleister. Lucas: How much does this cost? Luna: Hoeveel kost dit? Lucas: You've got it! Now imagine you're at the pharmacy and you see a cut. What do you say? Luna: Ik heb me gesneden. Hebt u een pleister? Lucas: Perfect. And if you need help, just say 'Ik zoek verband.' Practice these phrases until next time. See you then! Luna: Doei!
