Latest / Learn Swedish with Fexingo / Swedish for At the Bakery - Buying a Kardemummabulle
Transcript
- Lucas: Välkommen tillbaka to Learn Swedish with Fexingo. I'm Lucas, and with me is Luna. Episode 134 – time to expand our bakery vocabulary. Luna: I love bakery episodes. But no semla this time, right? We've done that a ton. Lucas: Right. Today we're moving to another classic Swedish pastry: the kardemummabulle. A cardamom bun. Think cinnamon bun, but with cardamom instead. Luna: Oh, I've heard of those. They smell amazing. Lucas: They do. Let's start with the basic request. Say this after me: Jag skulle vilja ha en kardemummabulle. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en kardemummabulle. That's a mouthful. Jag skulle vilja ha en kardemummabulle. Lucas: Almost perfect. The 'bulle' part is like 'bull-eh'. Jag skulle vilja ha en kardemummabulle. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en kardemummabulle. I'll get it. So that's 'I would like a cardamom bun'. Lucas: Exactly. Now, if you want to ask if they have one with cardamom — which is a bit redundant but still useful — you say: Har ni någon med kardemumma? Luna: Har ni någon med kardemumma? So that's 'Do you have one with cardamom?' Har ni någon med kardemumma. Lucas: Yes. But in most bakeries, a kardemummabulle always has cardamom, so you might not need to ask. Still good to know. Luna: Good. And what about price? How much is it? Lucas: Hur mycket kostar den? That's 'How much does it cost?' Hur mycket kostar den? Luna: Hur mycket kostar den? I can handle that. Hur mycket kostar den? Lucas: Great. And then when you're ready to buy: Jag tar en kardemummabulle, tack. 'I'll take a cardamom bun, please.' Luna: Jag tar en kardemummabulle, tack. So 'tar' here is like 'take'. Jag tar en kardemummabulle, tack. Lucas: Perfect. Let's run through all four once more. Listen and repeat: Jag skulle vilja ha en kardemummabulle. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en kardemummabulle. Lucas: Har ni någon med kardemumma? Luna: Har ni någon med kardemumma? Lucas: Hur mycket kostar den? Luna: Hur mycket kostar den? Lucas: Jag tar en kardemummabulle, tack. Luna: Jag tar en kardemummabulle, tack. I'm feeling good about these. Lucas: Now let's put them together in a tiny scene. Imagine you walk into a bakery. You see a kardemummabulle. You say: Jag skulle vilja ha en kardemummabulle. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en kardemummabulle. Lucas: The baker asks if you want anything else. You ask: Hur mycket kostar den? Luna: Hur mycket kostar den? Lucas: They say thirty kronor. You say: Jag tar en kardemummabulle, tack. Luna: Jag tar en kardemummabulle, tack. Lucas: And you pay and enjoy. See? Simple. Luna: I can see myself doing that. So much easier than the semla ordering — that took four episodes. Lucas: Speaking of which, you remember that we've done all those bakery episodes without any ads. If Fexingo has been helping you make actual progress with Swedish, you might want to support that. We deliberately don't run ads on these. If you want to support that choice, the link is buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Luna: Yeah, it's a nice way to keep the show exactly as we want it. No interruptions, just learning. Lucas: Exactly. So, back to the bakery. Let's do a little drill. I'll say the English, you say the Swedish. 'I would like a cardamom bun.' Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en kardemummabulle. Lucas: 'Do you have one with cardamom?' Luna: Har ni någon med kardemumma? Lucas: 'How much does it cost?' Luna: Hur mycket kostar den? Lucas: 'I'll take a cardamom bun, please.' Luna: Jag tar en kardemummabulle, tack. Lucas: You nailed it. Before we wrap, one more repetition. Say each after me. Jag skulle vilja ha en kardemummabulle. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en kardemummabulle. Lucas: Har ni någon med kardemumma? Luna: Har ni någon med kardemumma? Lucas: Hur mycket kostar den? Luna: Hur mycket kostar den? Lucas: Jag tar en kardemummabulle, tack. Luna: Jag tar en kardemummabulle, tack. Lucas: Fantastic. That's all for this episode. Practice these, and next time you're at a Swedish bakery, you'll be ready. Hej då! Luna: Hej då, and enjoy your kardemummabulle.
