- Lucas: Hej och välkommen tillbaka! This is Episode 50 of Learn Swedish with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Fifty episodes, can you believe it? Lucas: I know, it's amazing. And today we're learning something super practical. Luna: Ooh, what is it? Lucas: The days of the week in Swedish. So you can say what day it is or make plans. Luna: Oh, that's perfect! I always get confused when someone says 'vi ses på måndag'. Lucas: Exactly. So let's start with the first day of the week. In Sweden, the week starts on Monday. Luna: Okay, Monday is...? Lucas: Måndag. Say it with me: måndag. Luna: Måndag. Lucas: Good. Tuesday is tisdag. Luna: Tisdag. Lucas: Wednesday is onsdag. Luna: Onsdag. That one's a bit tricky. Lucas: A little. Listen: onsdag. The 'o' is like in 'old', and 's' like in 'soap'. Onsdag. Luna: Onsdag. I think I got it. Lucas: Then Thursday is torsdag. Luna: Torsdag. Lucas: And Friday, everyone's favorite, is fredag. Luna: Fredag! That sounds like 'free day'. Lucas: It does, doesn't it? Now let's practice the whole week. Repeat after me: måndag, tisdag, onsdag, torsdag, fredag. Luna: Måndag, tisdag, onsdag, torsdag, fredag. Lucas: Excellent! And can you guess Saturday and Sunday? Luna: Umm, Saturday... lördag? Lucas: Yes! Lördag. Luna: And Sunday is söndag. Lucas: Perfect! Lördag and söndag. Luna: Now I can say all seven. Måndag, tisdag, onsdag, torsdag, fredag, lördag, söndag. Lucas: You're a natural. Now let's use them in a sentence. How would you say 'Today is Monday'? Luna: Hmm. 'Idag är det måndag'? Lucas: Exactly! Idag är det måndag. Luna: Idag är det måndag. And if I want to say 'See you on Friday'? Lucas: That would be 'Vi ses på fredag'. Luna: Vi ses på fredag. Lucas: Right. So 'på' means 'on' for days. So 'på måndag', 'på tisdag', etc. Luna: På måndag, på tisdag, på onsdag... Lucas: Let's do a quick drill. I'll say a day in English, you say it in Swedish. Monday. Luna: Måndag. Lucas: Wednesday. Luna: Onsdag. Lucas: Friday. Luna: Fredag. Lucas: Sunday. Luna: Söndag. Lucas: Perfect! Now let's imagine we're planning a fika. I say 'Ska vi ta en fika?' and you can say 'Ja, på torsdag!' Luna: Ja, på torsdag! Yes, let's do that. Lucas: Great. So today we learned måndag, tisdag, onsdag, torsdag, fredag, lördag, söndag. Luna: And how to use them with 'på'. Lucas: Right. So practice these every day, and soon you'll be planning your week in Swedish. Luna: Tack så mycket, Lucas! Lucas: Varsågod! And thanks for joining us on Fexingo.
