Latest / Learn Danish with Fexingo / Danish at the Zoo - Feeding Animals Part 3
Transcript
- Lucas: Luna, ready for another zoo adventure? We've talked about buying tickets, naming animals, describing them, and even asking about feeding. Today, we're going to practice some feeding phrases one more time. Luna: Oh, I love it. I remember from last time, we learned 'Kan jeg fodre dyrene?' and 'Hvad spiser dyrene?' But I need a refresher on how to pronounce them correctly. Lucas: Absolutely. Let's start with the first one. 'Kan jeg fodre dyrene?' — that means, 'Can I feed the animals?' Listen: 'Kan jeg fodre dyrene?' Luna: Kan jeg fodre dyrene? Lucas: Perfect. Your pronunciation is really good. Now, the next phrase: 'Hvad spiser dyrene?' — 'What do the animals eat?' Say it with me: 'Hvad spiser dyrene?' Luna: Hvad spiser dyrene? Lucas: Yes. And a third one: 'Må jeg give dem mad?' — 'May I give them food?' Repeat: 'Må jeg give dem mad?' Luna: Må jeg give dem mad? Lucas: Great. Now let's put them in a little scene. Imagine you're at the zoo, and you see the elephants. You ask the zookeeper: 'Kan jeg fodre dyrene?' Luna: Kan jeg fodre dyrene? Lucas: And the zookeeper says: 'Dyrene spiser frugt.' — 'The animals eat fruit.' So you might ask: 'Må jeg give dem frugt?' Luna: Må jeg give dem frugt? That makes sense. Lucas: Exactly. And then you can ask: 'Må jeg røre ved dem?' — 'May I touch them?' That's a good one to know too. Luna: Må jeg røre ved dem? That sounds important. I remember the zookeeper might say no. Lucas: Right. So let's practice all five today: 'Kan jeg fodre dyrene?', 'Hvad spiser dyrene?', 'Må jeg give dem mad?', 'Dyrene spiser frugt.', 'Må jeg røre ved dem?' Luna: Okay, let me try them in order. Kan jeg fodre dyrene? Hvad spiser dyrene? Må jeg give dem mad? Dyrene spiser frugt. Må jeg røre ved dem? Lucas: Wow, that was impressive. You said them all really well. Just a tiny note: on 'røre', the 'r' is a bit softer than English. Listen: 'røre'. Luna: Røre. Røre ved dem. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's do a quick role-play. I'll be the zookeeper. You ask if you can feed the animals. Luna: Kan jeg fodre dyrene? Lucas: Ja, men de spiser kun frugt. Luna: Dyrene spiser frugt. Må jeg give dem bananer? Lucas: Selvfølgelig. They love bananas. Luna: And if I get too close, I might ask: Må jeg røre ved dem? Lucas: Right. But the zookeeper might say no for safety. That's good to know. Luna: These phrases are so useful. I can already imagine using them at the zoo. Lucas: And you know what?
