Transcript
- Lucas: Hej och välkommen tillbaka till Learn Swedish with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Ready for episode 156? I feel like we've been to so many bakeries and cafés lately. Lucas: We have. But today we're doing something a little different. We're going to a grocery store to buy bread. Luna: Oh, basic bread. Not a fancy pastry. I like it. Keep it simple. Lucas: Exactly. And the phrase you'll use most is: Jag skulle vilja ha ett bröd. That means 'I would like a bread'. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha ett bröd. Jag skulle vilja ha ett bröd. Lucas: Perfect. You say that to the person at the counter. Then they'll tell you the price or ask which kind. Luna: So next I need to ask: Hur mycket kostar brödet? Right? 'How much does the bread cost?' Lucas: Right. Hur mycket kostar brödet? Try it. Luna: Hur mycket kostar brödet? Hur mycket kostar brödet? Lucas: Yes. And after they tell you the price, you can say: Jag tar ett bröd, tack. 'I'll take a bread, please.' Luna: Jag tar ett bröd, tack. Jag tar ett bröd, tack. I love how straightforward that is. Lucas: Me too. Now, sometimes you want a specific kind. Like fullkornsbröd, whole wheat bread. So you can ask: Har ni fullkornsbröd? Luna: Har ni fullkornsbröd? That's a mouthful. Har ni fullkornsbröd? Lucas: You got it. Fullkornsbröd. Fullkornsbröd. Practice it a few times. Luna: Fullkornsbröd. Fullkornsbröd. Okay, I think I have it. Lucas: And then at the end, you say: Tack, hej då! That's 'Thank you, goodbye!' Luna: Tack, hej då! Simple. Alright, let me try a whole conversation. Lucas: Go for it. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha ett bröd. Hur mycket kostar brödet? Jag tar ett bröd, tack. Har ni fullkornsbröd? Tack, hej då! Lucas: That was great. One small thing: when you ask 'Har ni fullkornsbröd?' it's fine to ask before or after you decide. But you said everything perfectly. Luna: Oh, good. So it's natural to ask if they have whole wheat before you say 'I'll take a bread'. Lucas: Exactly. So the order could be: Jag skulle vilja ha ett bröd. Har ni fullkornsbröd? Ja? Jag tar ett bröd, tack. Luna: That makes sense. Let me try that version. Jag skulle vilja ha ett bröd. Har ni fullkornsbröd? Ja, jag tar ett bröd, tack. Hur mycket kostar brödet? Lucas: Perfect. You can ask the price at any point. Now let's imagine you're at the store. You walk in, you see the bread section... Luna: Right. So I go up to the counter. I say: Jag skulle vilja ha ett bröd. Lucas: The cashier says: Varsågod. That's 'here you go' or 'please'. Then you ask: Har ni fullkornsbröd? Luna: Cashier: Ja, här är fullkornsbrödet. Then I say: Jag tar ett bröd, tack. Hur mycket kostar brödet? Lucas: Cashier says: Det kostar tjugo kronor. You give the money and say: Tack, hej då! Luna: Tack, hej då! I feel like I could actually do this now. Lucas: That's the goal.

Jag skulle vilja ha ett bröd. Lucas: Varsågod. Luna: Har ni fullkornsbröd? Lucas: Ja, här är fullkornsbrödet. Luna: Jag tar ett bröd, tack. Hur mycket kostar brödet? Lucas: Det kostar tjugofem kronor. Luna: Tack, hej då! Lucas: Perfect. And that's how you buy bread in Swedish. Thanks for listening, and we'll see you next time for more Swedish with Fexingo.
