- Lucas: Velkommen til Learn Danish with Fexingo. Episode 172. Luna: Hey Lucas! I'm excited. Last time we learned baby animal names at the zoo. I've been practicing. Lucas: Oh, that's great. Let's hear some. What do you remember? Luna: Okay... en løveunge. A lion cub. Lucas: Yes! Perfect. And? Luna: Uhh... en elefantunge. A baby elephant. Lucas: Nailed it. Today we're going to use those words in little sentences. Let's start with a simple one: Løveungen er sød. That means 'The lion cub is cute.' Let's say it together. Luna: Løveungen er sød. Lucas: Good. Notice 'løveunge' becomes 'løveungen' when we say 'the lion cub'. That's the definite form. We'll practice that. So, 'Løveungen er sød.' Say it again. Luna: Løveungen er sød. Lucas: Yes. Now you try: Elefantungen er stor. The baby elephant is big. Luna: Elefantungen er stor. Lucas: Exactly. Now, 'Girafkalven er høj.' The baby giraffe is tall. Girafkalven er høj. Luna: Girafkalven er høj. That one's a bit tricky. Girafkalven. Lucas: You've got it. And 'Abeungen er sjov.' The baby monkey is funny. Abeungen er sjov. Luna: Abeungen er sjov. I love that one. Lucas: And finally, 'Pingvinungen er lille.' The baby penguin is small. Pingvinungen er lille. Luna: Pingvinungen er lille. So cute. Lucas: Let's do a little scene. Imagine we're at the zoo, looking at the baby animals. I point and say, 'Se, en løveunge!' You say, 'Åh, løveungen er sød.' Ready? Luna: Okay. Lucas: Se, en løveunge! Luna: Åh, løveungen er sød. Lucas: Good. Now, 'Se, en elefantunge!' Luna: Elefantungen er stor. Lucas: Yes! And 'Se, en girafkalv!' Luna: Girafkalven er høj. Lucas: Wonderful. Now let's mix it up. I'll say a baby animal, you say the descriptive sentence. For example, I say 'en abeunge', you say 'Abeungen er sjov.' Luna: Got it. Lucas: En pingvinunge. Luna: Pingvinungen er lille. Lucas: Perfect. And 'en løveunge'? Luna: Løveungen er sød. Lucas: You're doing great. Now, one more thing. If you want to say 'I can see a baby lion', you say 'Jeg kan se en løveunge.' Let's try that. Jeg kan se en løveunge. Luna: Jeg kan se en løveunge. Lucas: Jeg kan se en elefantunge. Luna: Jeg kan se en elefantunge. Lucas: Jeg kan se en girafkalv. Luna: Jeg kan se en girafkalv. Lucas: Jeg kan se en abeunge. Luna: Jeg kan se en abeunge. Lucas: Jeg kan se en pingvinunge. Luna: Jeg kan se en pingvinunge. Lucas: You know, it's amazing that we get to make these episodes.
