Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Danish with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 167, can you believe it? Lucas: I know. And we've been to the zoo a few times already. But today, let's talk about something fun: feeding the animals. Luna: Oh, I love that. There's always that moment where you wonder, 'Can I feed them?' Lucas: Exactly. So let's learn how to ask. First phrase: Kan jeg fodre dyrene? Luna: Kan jeg fodre dyrene? Lucas: Nice. That means 'Can I feed the animals?' Kan jeg fodre dyrene? Luna: Kan jeg fodre dyrene. I like that. It rolls off the tongue. Lucas: Now, if you want to ask what they eat, you say: Hvad spiser dyrene? Luna: Hvad spiser dyrene? Lucas: Perfect. 'What do the animals eat?' Hvad spiser dyrene? Luna: Hvad spiser dyrene. So useful. I can imagine pointing at the giraffes and asking that. Lucas: Right. And maybe you want to ask for permission to give them food. Må jeg give dem mad? Luna: Må jeg give dem mad? Lucas: Yes. 'May I give them food?' Må jeg give dem mad? Luna: Må jeg give dem mad. That's polite. Lucas: Now a possible answer: Dyrene spiser frugt. Luna: Dyrene spiser frugt. Lucas: Meaning 'The animals eat fruit.' Dyrene spiser frugt. Luna: So if someone says that, you know what to offer. Lucas: Exactly. And one more: Må jeg røre ved dem? That's 'May I touch them?' Luna: Må jeg røre ved dem? Lucas: Good. Må jeg røre ved dem? Luna: Må jeg røre ved dem. That's important when you're near the petting zoo. Lucas: Right.

Luna: Hvad spiser dyrene? Lucas: Må jeg give dem mad? Luna: Må jeg give dem mad? Lucas: Dyrene spiser frugt. Luna: Dyrene spiser frugt. Lucas: Må jeg røre ved dem? Luna: Må jeg røre ved dem? Lucas: Great. Now imagine you're at the zoo with a friend. You see the elephants. What do you ask? Luna: Hmm... Kan jeg fodre elefanterne? Lucas: That works. But you said 'elefanterne' which is 'the elephants'. So 'Kan jeg fodre elefanterne?' — 'Can I feed the elephants?' Luna: Kan jeg fodre elefanterne. I like that. Lucas: And if you see a zookeeper, you might ask: Må jeg give dem mad? Luna: Må jeg give dem mad? Lucas: They might answer: Dyrene spiser frugt. Luna: Dyrene spiser frugt. So I should bring some apples. Lucas: Perfect. And if you want to touch the rabbits, you ask: Må jeg røre ved dem? Luna: Må jeg røre ved dem? Lucas: You've got it. Let's do a quick review of all five. Luna: Alright. Lucas: Kan jeg fodre dyrene? Luna: Kan jeg fodre dyrene? Lucas: Hvad spiser dyrene? Luna: Hvad spiser dyrene? Lucas: Må jeg give dem mad? Luna: Må jeg give dem mad? Lucas: Dyrene spiser frugt. Luna: Dyrene spiser frugt. Lucas: Må jeg røre ved dem? Luna: Må jeg røre ved dem? Lucas: Excellent.

Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time. Luna: Farvel!
