Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, ready for another tiny Dutch lesson? Luna: Always, Lucas. Last time we did de kin, de wang, het voorhoofd. That was fun. Lucas: Right, facial features. Today we're going down a bit — to the neck, shoulders, and knees. Luna: Oh, useful for when I point at my own body and forget the word. Lucas: Exactly. So first up: de nek. That's the neck. Luna: De nek. Nek. Sounds a bit like 'neck' actually. Lucas: It does, yeah. Let's say it together: de nek. Luna: De nek. Lucas: Good. Now, put your hand on your neck and say: mijn nek. Luna: Mijn nek. That's 'my neck'. I can feel it. Lucas: Next: de schouder. The shoulder. Luna: De schouder. That's a bit longer. Schouder. Lucas: You've got it. Now touch your shoulder and say: mijn schouder. Luna: Mijn schouder. That sounds like 'shoulder' with a Dutch twist. Lucas: It does. And finally: de knie. The knee. Luna: De knie. That's almost like 'knee' but with that guttural k. Lucas: Exactly. Tap your knee and say: mijn knie. Luna: Mijn knie. Okay, I think I have them: de nek, de schouder, de knie. Lucas: Let's put them in a little scene. Imagine you're at the doctor's. The doctor asks: 'Wat is er aan de hand?' What's the matter? You say: 'Mijn nek doet pijn.' My neck hurts. Luna: Mijn nek doet pijn. Oof, that's a useful one. Lucas: Or: 'Mijn schouder doet pijn.' My shoulder hurts. Luna: Mijn schouder doet pijn. And 'mijn knie doet pijn' for the knee. Lucas: Perfect. Let's practice all three: de nek, de schouder, de knie. Luna: De nek, de schouder, de knie. Lucas: Again: de nek. Luna: De nek. Lucas: De schouder. Luna: De schouder. Lucas: De knie. Luna: De knie. Lucas: Now let's do a quick review. I'll say the English, you say the Dutch. Neck. Luna: De nek. Lucas: Shoulder. Luna: De schouder. Lucas: Knee. Luna: De knie. Lucas: You're nailing it. Now, a tiny sentence: 'Ik val op mijn knie.' I fall on my knee. Luna: Ik val op mijn knie. That's a bit dramatic. Lucas: But memorable. Or: 'Ik draai mijn nek.' I turn my neck. Luna: Ik draai mijn nek. That sounds like something you'd do in yoga. Lucas: Exactly. Now, let's practice the phrases once more. Repeat after me: de nek. Luna: De nek. Lucas: De schouder. Luna: De schouder. Lucas: De knie. Luna: De knie. Lucas: You know, if Fexingo has been helping you make progress with these body parts, consider supporting the show. It keeps us ad-free. Luna: Yeah, a small gesture goes a long way. You can do that at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Lucas: Exactly. And now back to our lesson. Let's see if you remember the words one more time. Luna: Sure! De nek, de schouder, de knie. Got them. Lucas: Great. Now, let's do a mini story. You're walking down the street and you trip. You say: 'Ik heb pijn in mijn knie.' I have pain in my knee. Luna: Ik heb pijn in mijn knie. That's useful for real life. Lucas: Then a friend asks: 'Is je nek ook pijn?' Is your neck also painful? You say: 'Nee, alleen mijn knie.' No, only my knee. Luna: Nee, alleen mijn knie. That's a good comeback. Lucas: Alright, let's wrap up. Today we learned: de nek, de schouder, de knie. And how to say 'my neck hurts' — mijn nek doet pijn, 'my shoulder hurts' — mijn schouder doet pijn, and 'my knee hurts' — mijn knie doet pijn. Luna: I feel like I can now point to any body part and say it in Dutch. Almost. Lucas: That's the spirit. Practice these, and next time we'll add more. Keep up the good work, and we'll see you in the next episode of Learn Dutch with Fexingo! Luna: Bye for now!
