Last episode was all about whisking and mixing basics. Lucas: Exactly. So today, let's keep that momentum going. Luna: I love that idea. Baking is such a fun topic. Lucas: It really is. And we have five key phrases to practice today. Luna: Five phrases. Okay. I am ready. Lucas: First up. When you start to bake, you often need to whisk eggs. Luna: Right. To get them fluffy and light. Lucas: Precisely. In Finnish, we say 'Vaahtoitan munat'. Luna: 'Vaahtoitan munat'. Lucas: That is perfect. It means 'I whisk eggs'. Luna: Okay. 'Vaahtoitan munat'. Got it. Lucas: Let's try it together. 'Vaahtoitan munat'. Luna: 'Vaahtoitan munat'. Lucas: Great job. Now, after whisking, you usually mix the dough. Luna: Yes. Mixing everything together. Lucas: So we say 'Sekoitan taikinan'. Luna: 'Sekoitan taikinan'. Lucas: Beautiful. That means 'I mix the dough'. Luna: Okay. 'Sekoitan taikinan'. Let me repeat that. Lucas: Whenever you are ready. Go ahead. Luna: 'Sekoitan taikinan'. Lucas: Spot on. Now, once the dough is mixed, what do we do? Luna: We put it in the oven! Lucas: Correct. The phrase for that is 'Laitan uuniin'.

Lucas: Finally, you taste your creation. Luna: My favorite part. Lucas: If it is a cake or cookie, you might say 'Maku on makea'. Luna: 'Maku on makea'. Lucas: Yes. That means 'The taste is sweet'.
