- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Danish with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Ready for another small Danish lesson? Lucas: Definitely. Today we're tackling a really practical situation: checking out of a hotel. Luna: Oh, that's useful. Last time we learned how to get a taxi to the airport, and now we can check out too. Lucas: Exactly. So imagine you're at the front desk, it's your last morning. You want to say, "I'd like to check out." In Danish: Jeg vil gerne tjekke ud. Luna: Jeg vil gerne tjekke ud. That's a mouthful. Let me try: Jeg vil gerne tjekke ud. Lucas: That was really good. Jeg vil gerne tjekke ud. Say it once more? Luna: Jeg vil gerne tjekke ud. Lucas: Perfect. Now, if you want to ask, "Can I pay by card?" in Danish: Kan jeg betale med kort? Luna: Kan jeg betale med kort? That sounds like 'can I pay with card?' Lucas: Exactly. Kan jeg betale med kort? Try it. Luna: Kan jeg betale med kort. Lucas: Yes. And often the receptionist might ask, "Was there anything from the minibar?" In Danish: Var der noget i minibar? Luna: Var der noget i minibar?
