- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Swedish with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. We are back at the furniture store. Lucas: Last episode we talked about buying a mattress generally. Today we go deeper. Luna: Right. We need to check the comfort level specifically. Lucas: Exactly. You cannot buy a mattress without testing it first. Luna: Oh, I see what you mean. My old one was terrible. Lucas: So let's start with the most important request. The phrase is: Jag skulle vilja testa den här madrassen. Luna: Okay. Jag skulle vilja testa den här madrassen. Lucas: Perfect. Let's break that down slowly. Jag skulle vilja testa den här madrassen. Luna: Jag skulle vilja testa den här madrassen. Lucas: Yes. That means: I would like to test this mattress. Luna: I would like to test this mattress. Lucas: Say it again. Jag skulle vilja testa den här madrassen. Luna: Jag skulle vilja testa den här madrassen. Lucas: Good. Now imagine you are lying on it. It feels too soft. Luna: Oof. Too soft is bad for my back. Lucas: So you ask the question: Är den för mjuk? Luna: Är den för mjuk? Lucas: Let's try it slowly. Är den för mjuk? Luna: Är den för mjuk? Lucas: That means: Is it too soft? Luna: Is it too soft? Lucas: Again. Är den för mjuk? Luna: Är den för mjuk? Lucas: Great. Now imagine you find the perfect spot. The support is just right. Luna: Oh, that feels amazing. Finally. Lucas: You say: Den är perfekt. Luna: Den är perfekt. Lucas: Slowly now. Den är perfekt. Luna: Den är perfekt. Lucas: It means: It is perfect. Luna: It is perfect. Lucas: One more time. Den är perfekt. Luna: Den är perfekt. Lucas: But wait. Maybe you want to compare it. Maybe you want something slightly firmer. Luna: Yes. Comparison is key when sleeping. Lucas: The phrase is: Har ni en lite hårdare version? Luna: Har ni en lite hårdare version? Lucas: Let's pace that out. Har ni en lite hårdare version? Luna: Har ni en lite hårdare version? Lucas: That means: Do you have a slightly harder version? Luna: Do you have a slightly harder version? Lucas: Again. Har ni en lite hårdare version? Luna: Har ni en lite hårdare version? Lucas: Okay. So you tested the first one. It was good. But maybe not great. Luna: Right. Then you try the second one. And it hits the spot. Lucas: So you make the decision. You say: Jag tar den här, tack. Luna: Jag tar den här, tack. Lucas: Slowly. Jag tar den här, tack. Luna: Jag tar den här, tack. Lucas: It means: I will take this one, thank you. Luna: I will take this one, thank you. Lucas: One last time. Jag tar den här, tack. Luna: Jag tar den här, tack. Lucas: Let's review all five phrases quickly. First: Jag skulle vilja testa den här madrassen. Luna: Jag skulle vilja testa den här madrassen. Lucas: Second: Är den för mjuk? Luna: Är den för mjuk? Lucas: Third: Den är perfekt. Luna: Den är perfekt. Lucas: Fourth: Har ni en lite hårdare version? Luna: Har ni en lite hårdare version? Lucas: Fifth: Jag tar den här, tack.
