- Lucas: Velkommen til Episode 121 of Learn Danish with Fexingo. Luna: Hej Lucas! I'm ready for a new topic today. Lucas: Great! So today we're going to the pharmacy — or 'apoteket' in Danish. Luna: Oh, that's useful. I've been meaning to learn phrases for when I feel sick. Lucas: Exactly. Let's start with a basic one: 'Jeg har brug for medicin.' That means 'I need medicine.' Luna: Jeg har brug for medicin. Jeg har brug for medicin. Lucas: Perfect! You've got it. Now, if you have a headache, you can say 'Jeg har ondt i hovedet.' Luna: Jeg har ondt i hovedet. That's 'I have a headache.' Right? Lucas: Right! And then you can ask: 'Har I noget mod hovedpine?' — 'Do you have something for headaches?' Luna: Har I noget mod hovedpine? That's a long one. Har I noget mod hovedpine. Lucas: You're doing great. Let's practice a mini conversation. Imagine you walk into the pharmacy. Luna: Okay, I'll try. Jeg har ondt i hovedet. Har I noget mod hovedpine? Lucas: Fantastic! The pharmacist would then show you some options. You might also need a band-aid. That's 'et plaster'. Luna: Et plaster. Like a band-aid for a cut. Lucas: Yes. So you can say 'Jeg vil gerne have et plaster.' — 'I would like a band-aid.' Luna: Jeg vil gerne have et plaster. That's easy. Lucas: Now, you might also want to ask the price: 'Hvad koster det?' Luna: Hvad koster det? That's 'How much does it cost?' I remember that from the market episode. Lucas: Good memory! And finally, when you're done, you say 'Tak for hjælpen.' — 'Thanks for the help.' Luna: Tak for hjælpen. That's a nice one to end with. Lucas: Let's do a full role-play. I'll be the pharmacist. Luna: Okay. Hej, jeg har ondt i hovedet. Har I noget mod hovedpine? Lucas: Ja, vi har noget. Det koster 50 kroner. Luna: Hvad koster det? Okay, jeg tager det. Og jeg vil gerne have et plaster. Lucas: Selvfølgelig. Vær så god. Luna: Tak for hjælpen! Lucas: Wow, Luna, that was excellent! You used all the phrases naturally. Luna: Thanks! It feels good to actually use them in a conversation.
