- Lucas: Luna, last episode we bought headphones, and now I'm thinking about what else we might need at an electronics store. Luna: Oh, I know! What about a computer mouse? Mine is starting to act up. Lucas: Perfect. Let's learn how to buy a computer mouse in Swedish. The phrase is 'Jag skulle vilja ha en datormus.' Say it with me: Jag skulle vilja ha en datormus. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en datormus. That means 'I would like to have a computer mouse,' right? Lucas: Exactly. Now, if you want a wireless mouse, you ask: 'Har ni den i trådlös?' Repeat: Har ni den i trådlös? Luna: Har ni den i trådlös? 'Do you have it in wireless?' Got it. Lucas: Good. Then you might ask the price: 'Hur mycket kostar den?' Say it: Hur mycket kostar den? Luna: Hur mycket kostar den? How much does it cost? Lucas: And before buying, you might want to try it: 'Får jag prova den?' That's 'May I try it?' Luna: Får jag prova den? I'd definitely want to test the feel. Lucas: After trying, you can say 'Den känns bra' – it feels good. Then 'Jag tar den, tack' – I'll take it, please. Luna: Den känns bra. Jag tar den, tack.
