Then they might ask: Vilken rad vill du sitta på? — 'Which row do you want to sit in?' Luna: Vilken rad vill du sitta på? That's a mouthful. Lucas: It's a bit long, but you can just say: Jag tar en biljett, tack. — 'I'll take one ticket, please.' Luna: Jag tar en biljett, tack. Short and sweet. Lucas: Exactly. Now, let's put it together.
