Latest / Learn Dutch with Fexingo / Dutch at the Supermarket - Basic Phrases
Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, ready for another Dutch lesson? Luna: Yeah! What are we learning today? Lucas: Well, we've been to the bakery and the restaurant, but today we're going to the supermarket. Luna: Oh, that's useful! I need to practice my grocery shopping in Dutch. Lucas: Exactly. So first phrase: 'Ik wil graag betalen.' That means 'I would like to pay.' Luna: Ik wil graag betalen. Lucas: Good. 'Ik wil graag betalen.' You say that at the checkout. Luna: Ik wil graag betalen. Right. Lucas: Now, if you're looking for something, you can ask 'Hebt u...?' — 'Do you have...?' Luna: Hebt u...? Like 'Hebt u brood?' Lucas: Perfect. 'Hebt u brood?' Do you have bread? Luna: Hebt u brood? Lucas: Yes. And then the price: 'Hoeveel kost dit?' — 'How much does this cost?' Luna: Hoeveel kost dit? So if I pick up a cheese, I can say 'Hoeveel kost dit?' Lucas: Exactly. 'Hoeveel kost deze kaas?' But we'll keep it simple: 'Hoeveel kost dit?' Luna: Hoeveel kost dit? Lucas: Now, what if it's too expensive? Say 'Dat is duur' — 'That is expensive.' Luna: Dat is duur. So if the cheese is twenty euros, I'd say 'Dat is duur!' Lucas: Definitely. And if you decide to buy it, say 'Ik neem het' — 'I'll take it.' Luna: Ik neem het. That sounds familiar from the restaurant episode. Lucas: Yes, we used 'Ik neem de soep' there. So 'Ik neem het' is just 'I'll take it.' Luna: Got it. So let me practice the whole scene. I'm at the checkout, I say: 'Ik wil graag betalen.' Lucas: Yes! Then the cashier might tell you the total. Then you can say 'Hoeveel kost dit?' to confirm. Luna: Hoeveel kost dit? And if it's too much, 'Dat is duur.' But if it's okay, 'Ik neem het.' Lucas: You've got it. Let's do a quick back and forth. I'll be the cashier. You come to my checkout. Luna: Okay.... Ik wil graag betalen. Lucas: That'll be fifteen euros. Luna: Hoeveel kost dit? Lucas: Fifteen euros. Luna: Dat is duur! But okay, Ik neem het. Lucas: Nice! You used all five phrases. How do you feel? Luna: Pretty good! I think I can handle a Dutch supermarket now. Lucas: Remember to listen for the cashier's response. Keep practicing with Fexingo. Luna: Will do. Thanks Lucas! See you next time. Lucas: Tot ziens, everyone. Keep practicing!
