- Lucas: Velkommen til Learn Danish with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Episode 37 — whoa, that's a lot of Danish. Lucas: Yeah, and you're doing great. Last time we were at a train station buying tickets. Luna: Hvad koster en billet til København? I remember that. But today — I'm hungry. Lucas: Perfect timing. Today we're going to a restaurant. We'll learn how to order food, ask for the bill, and even say cheers. Luna: Oh, I love that. Let's start. Lucas: First phrase: Jeg vil gerne bestille. That means 'I would like to order.' Let's break it down. Luna: Jeg vil gerne bestille. Lucas: Good. Jeg — I. Vil gerne — like to. bestille — order. Say it with me: Jeg vil gerne bestille. Luna: Jeg vil gerne bestille. Lucas: Exactly. Now imagine you're at a restaurant and the waiter comes. What do you say? Luna: Jeg vil gerne bestille. Lucas: Perfect. Now, if you want a specific dish — say, a pizza — you say: Jeg vil gerne have en pizza. Luna: Jeg vil gerne have en pizza. Lucas: Great. Jeg vil gerne have — I would like to have. en pizza — a pizza. So: Jeg vil gerne have en pizza. Luna: Jeg vil gerne have en pizza. I can use that for other things too, right? Lucas: Yes. Just swap the food: Jeg vil gerne have en kaffe, en sandwich, et glas vand. You already know some of those. Luna: Right. Jeg vil gerne have en kaffe — from the cafe episode. Lucas: Exactly. Now let's practice a tiny scene. You're at the restaurant. The waiter comes. What do you say? Luna: Jeg vil gerne bestille. Jeg vil gerne have en pizza. Lucas: Perfect. Now after the meal, you want to pay. So you say: Kan jeg få regningen? Luna: Kan jeg få regningen? That means 'Can I have the bill?' Lucas: Yes. Kan — can. jeg — I. få — have/get. regningen — the bill. Kan jeg få regningen? Luna: Kan jeg få regningen? That's useful. Lucas: Very. Now before you leave, maybe you toast with friends. You say: Skål! Luna: Skål! That's like 'cheers!' Lucas: Exactly. Skål. It's short and fun. Luna: Skål! I can say that right now. Lucas: You're ready for a party. And one more phrase: if the food is good, you say: Maden smager godt. Luna: Maden smager godt. Maden — the food. smager — tastes. godt — good. Lucas: Yes. Maden smager godt. Say it. Luna: Maden smager godt. Lucas: Great. And if it's not good, you can say: Maden smager ikke godt. But hopefully it is good. Luna: Yeah. Let's practice all of them together? Lucas: Sure. I'll be the waiter. You say: Jeg vil gerne bestille. Luna: Jeg vil gerne bestille. Lucas: What would you like? Luna: Jeg vil gerne have en pizza. Lucas: Good choice. Then later, you say: Kan jeg få regningen? Luna: Kan jeg få regningen? Lucas: And when I bring it, you can say: Maden smager godt. Luna: Maden smager godt. Lucas: And then we toast: Skål! Luna: Skål! Lucas: That was perfect. Let's do one more round, from start to finish. Luna: Okay. Lucas: Waiter comes. You say: Jeg vil gerne bestille. Luna: Jeg vil gerne bestille. Lucas: And what do you want? Luna: Jeg vil gerne have en pizza. Lucas: After the meal: Luna: Kan jeg få regningen? Lucas: And how was the food? Luna: Maden smager godt. Lucas: Wonderful. And with a friend: Luna: Skål! Lucas: Excellent. You've got it. Now let's review all the phrases one more time. Luna: Yes. Lucas: First: Jeg vil gerne bestille. Luna: Jeg vil gerne bestille. Lucas: Second: Jeg vil gerne have en pizza. Luna: Jeg vil gerne have en pizza. Lucas: Third: Kan jeg få regningen? Luna: Kan jeg få regningen? Lucas: Fourth: Maden smager godt. Luna: Maden smager godt. Lucas: And fifth: Skål! Luna: Skål! Lucas: Perfect. Now try to use these next time you eat out. Or just practice at home. Luna: I will. Thanks Lucas. And thanks Fexingo for another great episode. Lucas: Yes. Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time. Hej hej! Luna: Hej hej! Skål!
