- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Swedish with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 187 already — we're on a roll. Lucas: We are. And today, we're going to a clothing store again, but for something smaller. Luna: Ooh, what is it? Lucas: Gloves. Handskar in Swedish. Luna: Handskar. Right, because it's getting cold outside. Lucas: Exactly. So let's start with the basic phrase: Jag skulle vilja ha ett par handskar. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha ett par handskar. That's 'I would like to have a pair of gloves.' Lucas: Perfect. Repeat it with me: Jag skulle vilja ha ett par handskar. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha ett par handskar. Lucas: Good. Now, if you want to ask about material — for example, wool — you say: Har ni dem i ull? Luna: Har ni dem i ull? That means 'Do you have them in wool?' Lucas: Yes. Har ni dem i ull? Let's say it together: Har ni dem i ull? Luna: Har ni dem i ull? Lucas: Great. And if you want to ask about color: Vilken färg har ni? Luna: Vilken färg har ni? 'What colors do you have?' Lucas: Exactly. Repeat: Vilken färg har ni? Luna: Vilken färg har ni? Lucas: Now, let's try a little scene. Imagine you walk into a store and say: Jag skulle vilja ha ett par handskar. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha ett par handskar. Lucas: The shop assistant shows you some. You ask: Har ni dem i ull? Luna: Har ni dem i ull? Lucas: They say yes, and point to different colors. You ask: Vilken färg har ni? Luna: Vilken färg har ni? Lucas: They show you black, grey, and blue. You want to know the price: Hur mycket kostar de? Luna: Hur mycket kostar de? 'How much do they cost?' That's a good one. Lucas: Say it: Hur mycket kostar de? Luna: Hur mycket kostar de? Lucas: You like them, so you say: Får jag prova dem? Luna: Får jag prova dem? 'May I try them on?' Lucas: Yes. Repeat: Får jag prova dem? Luna: Får jag prova dem? Lucas: And if they fit perfectly: De passar perfekt. Luna: De passar perfekt. 'They fit perfectly.' Lucas: Say it: De passar perfekt. Luna: De passar perfekt. Lucas: Now, let's put it all together in a dialogue. I'll be the shop assistant. You start. Luna: Hej! Jag skulle vilja ha ett par handskar. Lucas: Hej! Självklart. Här har vi flera modeller. Luna: Har ni dem i ull? Lucas: Ja, vi har ullhandskar i flera färger. Luna: Vilken färg har ni? Lucas: Vi har svart, grå och blå. Luna: Hur mycket kostar de? Lucas: De kostar 200 kronor. Luna: Får jag prova dem? Lucas: Självklart! Här är de svarta. Luna: De passar perfekt. Jag tar dem! Lucas: Excellent! That was a perfect exchange. Luna: Thanks. It felt natural. And I love that we're learning practical phrases. Lucas: That's the whole idea.

So after you say 'De passar perfekt,' you can say 'Jag tar dem.' Lucas: Exactly. 'Jag tar dem' means 'I'll take them.' Repeat: Jag tar dem. Luna: Jag tar dem. Lucas: Great. Now let's practice all the phrases again slowly. First: Jag skulle vilja ha ett par handskar. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha ett par handskar. Lucas: Har ni dem i ull? Luna: Har ni dem i ull? Lucas: Vilken färg har ni? Luna: Vilken färg har ni? Lucas: Hur mycket kostar de? Luna: Hur mycket kostar de? Lucas: Får jag prova dem? Luna: Får jag prova dem? Lucas: De passar perfekt. Luna: De passar perfekt. Lucas: And bonus: Jag tar dem. Luna: Jag tar dem. Lucas: Perfect. Now, a quick question: what if you want to ask for gloves in a different material, like leather? Luna: Then you'd say 'Har ni dem i läder?' Lucas: Exactly. Or 'i bomull' for cotton. But for today, we focused on wool. Luna: I think I'm ready to buy gloves in Swedish now. Lucas: You definitely are. Practice these phrases, and next time you're in a store, give it a try. Luna: See you next time on Learn Swedish with Fexingo. Lucas: Hej då!
