Luna: Yes. From our knees to our elbows. It has been quite an journey. Lucas: Indeed. And before we dive into today's specific topic, I want to mention something about the show. Luna: Oh? What is it? Lucas: If Fexingo has been helping you make actual progress with this language, please know that a small group of listeners supports us monthly through buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Luna: That is so kind of them. It keeps the show ad-free. Lucas: Exactly. No ads, just learning. And now, let us get back to our bodies. Luna: Right. Today we are looking at two very small but important parts. Lucas: Yes. The face. Specifically, the mouth area and the side of the face. Luna: Oh, I see. Let us start with the first word. Lucas: The first word is de lip. Luna: De lip. That means lip. Lucas: Correct. De lip. Remember, it is feminine, so we use de. Luna: De lip. Okay. I can say that. Lucas: Good. Now, let us look at the second word. Luna: What is the next one? Lucas: The next word is de wang. Luna: De wang. That means cheek. Lucas: Yes. De wang. Again, feminine article. De wang. Luna: De wang. Got it. So, lip and cheek. Lucas: Exactly. Now, let us put these into a sentence. Often, we talk about pain here. Luna: Oh no. Why does it always hurt? Lucas: Sometimes it does. The phrase is Mijn lip doet pijn. Luna: Mijn lip doet pijn. My lip hurts. Lucas: Very good. Mijn lip doet pijn. You can say this if you bite your lip accidentally. Luna: I did that once. With a piece of toast. Lucas: A dangerous toast. So, Mijn lip doet pijn. Luna: Mijn lip doet pijn. I remember that. Lucas: Now, let us do the same for the cheek. Luna: Okay. How do we say my cheek hurts? Lucas: You say Mijn wang doet pijn. Luna: Mijn wang doet pijn. My cheek hurts. Lucas: Perfect. Mijn wang doet pijn. This might happen if you get punched in a movie. Luna: Or if I sleep on my arm funny. Lucas: Ah, yes. That is a common cause. Mijn wang doet pijn. Luna: Mijn wang doet pijn. I think I have that one down. Lucas: Good. Now, there is another common problem besides pain. Luna: What is it? Lucas: Dryness. Especially in winter. The phrase is Ik heb een droge lip. Luna: Ik heb een droge lip. I have a dry lip. Lucas: Yes. Ik heb een droge lip. Notice the indefinite article 'een' because it is singular. Luna: Ik heb een droge lip. Right. One dry lip. Lucas: Correct. You usually have one dry lip, not both at the same time. Luna: That seems unfair. But I can say it. Ik heb een droge lip. Lucas: Let us review what we have learned today. First word? Luna: De lip. Lucas: Second word? Luna: De wang. Lucas: Phrase for pain? Luna: Mijn lip doet pijn. Lucas: Phrase for cheek pain? Luna: Mijn wang doet pijn. Lucas: And the last phrase? Luna: Ik heb een droge lip.
