N. G. O. Luna: Yeah, thank you for listening. It really helps. Lucas: Exactly. So, imagine we are in a big store. There are tables everywhere. Luna: I see one. It looks nice. What should I ask first? Lucas: First, ask what it is made of. The phrase is Hvad er det lavet af? Luna: Hvad er det lavet af? Lucas: Good. It means 'What is it made of?' Repeat it slowly. Hvad er det lavet af? Luna: Hvad er det lavet af? Okay. I feel ready. Lucas: Let's try it. A shop assistant asks you. Hvad er det lavet af? Luna: No, wait. They are asking me. I need to answer. Lucas: Right. If you want to know, you ask: Hvad er det lavet af? Luna: Hvad er det lavet af? Yes. That feels good. Lucas: The assistant says 'It is made of wood.' In Danish, that is træ. Luna: Træ. Nice. Natural look. Lucas: Now, you like the wood. But you need to know the cost. Ask Hvor meget koster det? Luna: Hvor meget koster det? Lucas: Perfect. 'How much does it cost?' Let's say it together. Hvor meget koster det? Luna: Hvor meget koster det? Oh, that is quite expensive. Lucas: It is. But let's assume it is okay. Now, think about logistics. Do they bring it to you? Luna: I hope so. I do not want to carry it myself. Lucas: Then ask Kan I levere det? Wait, no. Ask Kan I levere det? Luna: Kan I levere det? Is that correct? Lucas: Yes. It means 'Can you deliver it?' Use the polite form. Kan I levere det? Luna: Kan I levere det? That sounds very professional. Lucas: It is. The assistant smiles and says yes. But then they mention the weight. Luna: Oh no. How do I say it is heavy? Lucas: You say Det er meget tungt. 'It is very heavy.' Luna: Det er meget tungt. Ugh. That is true. Lucas: Very strong words. Det er meget tungt. Say it again. Luna: Det er meget tungt. Yeah, it is definitely heavy. Lucas: But you still want it. So you decide to order. Say Jeg vil gerne bestille det. Luna: Jeg vil gerne bestille det? Lucas: Good. 'I would like to order it.' Let's practice the whole flow. Luna: Okay. Hvad er det lavet af? Lucas: Træ. Then Hvor meget koster det? Luna: 500 kroner. Kan I levere det? Lucas: Yes. But Det er meget tungt. So you say Jeg vil gerne bestille det. Luna: Jeg vil gerne bestille det. Done. Lucas: Excellent work, Luna. You bought a table. Luna: I did. Now I just need somewhere to put it. Lucas: That is for next time. For now, review these five phrases. Hvad er det lavet af? Hvor meget koster det? Kan I levere det? Det er meget tungt.
