Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back, Luna, and welcome back to all our listeners. This is Learn Danish with Fexingo, episode 95. Luna: Hey Lucas! I'm excited. Last time we did Easter, and I've been practicing 'God påske' all week. Lucas: Good for you. Today we're going to keep building on something we touched on way back: numbers. We've done 1 through 10. Now let's go from 11 to 20. Luna: Oh, I remember 'en, to, tre'... but after ten it gets tricky, right? Lucas: It does get a little different, but there's a pattern. Let's start with 11. In Danish, eleven is 'elleve'. Luna: elleve. Lucas: Yes. elleve. Luna: elleve. That sounds kind of like 'eleven' but not really. Lucas: Exactly. Now 12: 'tolv'. Luna: tolv. That's short. Lucas: tolv. Good. Now 13: 'tretten'. Luna: tretten. Lucas: And 14: 'fjorten'. Luna: fjorten. That one sounds like 'fourteen' but with an 'f'. Lucas: Yeah, it's similar. 15: 'femten'. Luna: femten. So 'fem' plus 'ten'. Lucas: You got it. And 16: 'seksten'. Luna: seksten. Lucas: 17: 'sytten'. Luna: sytten. Lucas: 18: 'atten'. Luna: atten. Lucas: 19: 'nitten'. Luna: nitten. Lucas: And 20: 'tyve'. Luna: tyve. That's completely different. Lucas: It is. Let's count from 11 to 20 together. I'll say it, you repeat. Luna: Okay. Lucas: elleve. Luna: elleve. Lucas: tolv. Luna: tolv. Lucas: tretten. Luna: tretten. Lucas: fjorten. Luna: fjorten. Lucas: femten. Luna: femten. Lucas: seksten. Luna: seksten. Lucas: sytten. Luna: sytten. Lucas: atten. Luna: atten. Lucas: nitten. Luna: nitten. Lucas: tyve. Luna: tyve. Lucas: Good. Now let's use them. Imagine you're at a bakery and you want 15 pastries. Luna: Jeg vil gerne have femten kanelsnegle. Lucas: Perfect. Or if you're buying 20 apples. Luna: Jeg vil gerne have tyve æbler. Lucas: Great. Now what if you want 13? Luna: Tretten. Lucas: Exactly. Let's practice some more. I'll say a number in English, you say it in Danish. Eleven. Luna: elleve. Lucas: Twelve. Luna: tolv. Lucas: Thirteen. Luna: tretten. Lucas: Fourteen. Luna: fjorten. Lucas: Fifteen. Luna: femten. Lucas: Sixteen. Luna: seksten. Lucas: Seventeen. Luna: sytten. Lucas: Eighteen. Luna: atten. Lucas: Nineteen. Luna: nitten. Lucas: Twenty. Luna: tyve. Lucas: Awesome. You're getting it. Luna: Thanks. It's starting to stick. You know, when I practice with Fexingo, numbers like these are so much easier to remember because we use them in real situations. Lucas: That's the idea.

Say 'I want 18 apples' in Danish. Luna: Jeg vil gerne have atten æbler. Lucas: Perfect. And 'I want 20 croissants'. Luna: Jeg vil gerne have tyve croissanter. Lucas: Great job. So remember: elleve, tolv, tretten, fjorten, femten, seksten, sytten, atten, nitten, tyve. Practice counting every time you see a number in your daily life. Luna: I will. Thanks Lucas.
