- Lucas: Hello and welcome back to 'Learn Swedish with Fexingo'! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Ready to learn some Swedish today? Lucas: Absolutely. Today we're going shopping — for clothes! Luna: Oh, I love shopping. But in Swedish? That's new. Lucas: It is. So first phrase: 'Jag vill köpa en tröja.' Luna: Jag vill köpa en tröja. Lucas: That means 'I want to buy a sweater.' Let's break it: 'Jag vill köpa' — I want to buy. 'En tröja' — a sweater. Luna: Jag vill köpa en tröja. Okay, I got that. Lucas: Great. Now imagine you find a sweater and want to try it on. You say: 'Får jag prova den?' Luna: Får jag prova den? Lucas: Yes. 'May I try it on?' 'Får jag' means 'may I', 'prova' is 'try', 'den' is 'it'. Luna: Får jag prova den? So useful. Lucas: So let's imagine you try it on and it's too big. You can say: 'Den är för stor.' Luna: Den är för stor. Lucas: 'Den är' — it is. 'För stor' — too big. Luna: Den är för stor. What if it's too small? 'Den är för liten'? Lucas: Exactly, Luna! That's perfect. Now you want a smaller size. Say: 'Har ni den i en mindre storlek?' Luna: Har ni den i en mindre storlek? Lucas: Yes. 'Har ni' — do you have. 'Den' — it. 'I en mindre storlek' — in a smaller size. Luna: Har ni den i en mindre storlek? So if I want a larger size, it's 'i en större storlek'? Lucas: You're catching on so fast. That's exactly right. Luna: Okay, and then if I decide to buy it, I say: 'Jag tar den.' Lucas: Yes! 'Jag tar den' — I'll take it. Very simple. Luna: Jag tar den. Nice and short. Lucas: Let's put these into a little scene. Imagine you're in a store in Stockholm. You see a nice sweater. Luna: Jag vill köpa en tröja. Lucas: The salesperson hands it to you. You say: Luna: Får jag prova den? Lucas: You try it on. It's too big. Luna: Den är för stor. Har ni den i en mindre storlek? Lucas: They bring you a smaller size. It fits perfectly. Luna: Jag tar den. Lucas: Perfect. You just went through the whole transaction in Swedish. Luna: That felt really good. I could actually do that. Lucas: You absolutely could.

Luna: Har ni den i en mindre storlek? Lucas: Jag tar den. Luna: Jag tar den. Lucas: Brilliant. Practice these, and next time you're in Sweden, you'll be ready for a shopping trip. Luna: Tack, Lucas.
