- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Dutch with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Hey Lucas, I'm hungry. But first, let's learn some Dutch! Lucas: Totally. Today we're going to the supermarket. Last episode we ordered drinks at a café. Now let's shop for groceries. Luna: Ooh, I love shopping. But in Dutch? That's a challenge. What's the first phrase? Lucas: When you're looking for something, you say: Ik zoek de melk. That means 'I am looking for the milk.' Luna: Ik zoek de melk. Hmm, 'zoek' sounds like 'zoek'. Lucas: Exactly. Ik zoek de melk. Let's break it down: Ik means I, zoek means look for, de melk is the milk. Say it with me. Luna: Ik zoek de melk. Lucas: Perfect. Now, what if you want to ask the price? You say: Hoeveel kost dit? That means 'How much does this cost?' Luna: Hoeveel kost dit? Hoeveel... I remember hoeveel from numbers? Like how many? Lucas: Yes! Hoeveel means how much or how many. So Hoeveel kost dit? Kost is costs, dit is this. Try it. Luna: Hoeveel kost dit? Lucas: Great! The answer could be: Het is twee euro. 'It is two euros.' Let's practice that. Luna: Het is twee euro. So 'het' is it, 'is' is is, 'twee' we know, 'euro' is euro. Easy! Lucas: Yeah. Now, if you want to buy it, you say: Ik neem het. 'I'll take it.' Luna: Ik neem het. Neem... like 'take'? Ik neem het. Lucas: Exactly. And to ask if they have something, you say: Hebt u...? For example, Hebt u brood? 'Do you have bread?' Luna: Hebt u brood? Wait, 'u' is formal you, right? So polite. Lucas: Yes. Hebt u... is a polite way to ask. Let's do a small scene. You're in the supermarket. Luna: Okay. I'll start. Hebt u melk? Lucas: Ja, hier is de melk. Het is twee euro. Luna: Ik neem het. Hoeveel kost dit? Oh wait, I already know. It's twee euro. Lucas: Exactly. Now let's practice all five phrases. Repeat after me: Ik zoek de melk. Luna: Ik zoek de melk. Lucas: Hoeveel kost dit? Luna: Hoeveel kost dit? Lucas: Het is twee euro. Luna: Het is twee euro. Lucas: Ik neem het. Luna: Ik neem het. Lucas: Hebt u...? Luna: Hebt u... brood? Lucas: Perfect. Now let's put it together in a longer conversation. I'm the cashier. Luna: Hallo, ik zoek de melk. Lucas: Hier is de melk. Het is twee euro. Luna: Ik neem het. Hebt u ook brood? Lucas: Ja, het brood is drie euro. Luna: Hoeveel kost alles? Oh, that's not a phrase yet. But I'll say: Ik neem het brood ook. Lucas: Awesome. And the total is vijf euro. You did so well today. Luna: Thanks Lucas. I feel like I could actually go to a Dutch supermarket now. Well, almost. Lucas: That's the spirit. Remember, practice these phrases: Ik zoek de melk, Hoeveel kost dit, Het is twee euro, Ik neem het, and Hebt u...?
