- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 112 — can you believe it? Lucas: I know. And today we're going back to a cafe, but this time for dessert. Luna: Oh, I love dessert. So, what's the first phrase we need? Lucas: Let's start simple: when you want to order a cake, you say '케이크 주세요'. Luna: 케이크 주세요. Lucas: Perfect. '케이크' is 'cake', and '주세요' means 'please give me'. So '케이크 주세요' — 'Please give me cake.' Luna: Okay. But what if I want ice cream instead? Lucas: Then you say '아이스크림 주세요'. Same pattern — just change the item. Luna: 아이스크림 주세요. I like that. Easy. Lucas: Exactly. Now, what if you want to ask for the dessert menu? You say '디저트 메뉴 주세요'. Luna: 디저트 메뉴 주세요. Lucas: Great. '디저트' is 'dessert', '메뉴' is 'menu'. So you're asking for the dessert menu. Luna: That makes sense. What about telling someone what I want to eat? Lucas: You can say '케이크 먹고 싶어요' — 'I want to eat cake'. Luna: 케이크 먹고 싶어요. And if I want to ask someone else? Lucas: You ask '디저트 뭐 먹고 싶어요?' — 'What dessert do you want to eat?' Luna: 디저트 뭐 먹고 싶어요? Okay. Let me try them all together. Lucas: Go for it. Luna: 디저트 메뉴 주세요. 케이크 주세요. 아이스크림 주세요. 케이크 먹고 싶어요. Lucas: Excellent. You got them all. Now, let's imagine we're at a cafe. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: I'll be the server. You say: '디저트 메뉴 주세요.' Luna: 디저트 메뉴 주세요. Lucas: Here you go. What would you like? Luna: 케이크 주세요. Lucas: Sure, one cake. Anything else? Luna: 네, 아이스크림 주세요. Lucas: Great choice. So, Luna, what dessert did you want? Luna: 케이크 먹고 싶어요. Lucas: Perfect. And if I ask you '디저트 뭐 먹고 싶어요?' Luna: 케이크 먹고 싶어요. Lucas: You nailed it.
