Latest / Learn Danish with Fexingo / Danish at the Cinema - Buying Tickets
Transcript
- Lucas: Luna, ready for another Danish adventure? Luna: Ready, Lucas. Last time we were at the bakery, and I still smell like wienerbrød. Lucas: That was a good episode. Today, let's go to the cinema. Imagine we're going to watch a movie together. Luna: Ooh, nice. So we need to buy tickets. How do I say 'I would like two tickets'? Lucas: You say: Jeg vil gerne have to billetter. Let's break it down. Jeg vil gerne have means 'I would like to have', and to billetter is 'two tickets'. Luna: Jeg vil gerne have to billetter. That's a mouthful. Let me try again. Jeg vil gerne have to billetter. Lucas: Perfect. You've got it. Now, if they ask which movie, you'd say 'for the movie' – in Danish: til filmen. So you could say: Jeg vil gerne have to billetter til filmen. Luna: Jeg vil gerne have to billetter til filmen. So 'til' means 'for', and 'filmen' is 'the movie'. Lucas: Exactly. Now, how about asking what time the show is? You'd say: Hvad tid er forestillingen? Luna: Hvad tid er forestillingen? So 'what time is the show?' That's useful. Hvad tid er forestillingen? Lucas: Good. And the answer might be 'at seven' – in Danish: klokken syv. So if they say 'Klokken syv', that means 'at seven o'clock'. Luna: Klokken syv. Right, we learned klokken before with time expressions. Lucas: You remember well. And finally, how do you ask 'how much does it cost?' Luna: Hmm, is it 'Hvor meget koster det?' Lucas: Exactly. Hvor meget koster det? That's 'how much does it cost?' Luna: Hvor meget koster det? Great. So we can say: Jeg vil gerne have to billetter til filmen. Hvad tid er forestillingen? Hvor meget koster det? Lucas: Perfect. You're ready for the cinema. Let's do a little role-play. You're at the ticket counter. Luna: Okay. Hej, jeg vil gerne have to billetter til filmen. Lucas: Hvad tid er forestillingen? Luna: Klokken syv. Hvor meget koster det? Lucas: Det koster 200 kroner. Perfect. You just bought two tickets. Luna: That was fun. And I feel like I could actually do this in Denmark. Lucas: You could. And if Fexingo has been helping you make progress with Danish, remember you can support us at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. It helps keep the show ad-free. Luna: That's right. Every little bit helps, just like every little phrase you learn. Even just 'to billetter' gets you closer. Lucas: And now, let's review the phrases one more time. Jeg vil gerne have to billetter. Luna: Jeg vil gerne have to billetter. Lucas: Til filmen. Luna: Til filmen. Lucas: Hvad tid er forestillingen? Luna: Hvad tid er forestillingen? Lucas: Klokken syv. Luna: Klokken syv. Lucas: Hvor meget koster det? Luna: Hvor meget koster det? Lucas: Great job. Practice these until we chat again. See you next time.
