Latest / Learn Swedish with Fexingo / Swedish Numbers 6-10
Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Swedish with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Episode 32 already – can you believe it? Lucas: I know, right? Time flies. Last time we tackled directions with 'Var ligger?' and 'till höger'. How are those feeling? Luna: Oh, I've been practicing! 'Till höger' – right. 'Till vänster' – left. I even tried giving directions to my friend. She looked confused, but I felt very Swedish. Luna: Yep! Ett, två, tre, fyra, fem. Easy peasy. Lucas: Great. Now let's add 6 to 10. Ready? Luna: Ready! Lucas: Okay. The number six in Swedish is 'sex'. Just like the English word, but pronounced a bit differently. Say it with me: sex. Luna: Sex. Lucas: Perfect. And careful – it's a number, so no giggling. It's just 'sex'. Luna: Right. No giggling. Sex. Lucas: Now seven: 'sju'. This one's a bit tricky. Say: sju. Luna: Sju. Wait – is it like 'shoe'? Lucas: Close! But the 'sj' sound is softer, like a hushing sound. Try again: sju. Luna: Sju. Hmm. Sju. Lucas: That's it! Eight: 'åtta'. Like 'otta' but with a long 'o'. Åtta. Luna: Åtta. Lucas: Nine: 'nio'. That's NEE-oh. Nio. Luna: Nio. Nio. Lucas: Ten: 'tio'. TEE-oh. Tio. Luna: Tio. So 'tio' is ten, and 'nio' is nine. Got it. Lucas: Let's do a quick count from 1 to 10 together. Ready? Ett, två, tre, fyra, fem, sex, sju, åtta, nio, tio. Luna: Ett, två, tre, fyra, fem, sex, sju, åtta, nio, tio. I did it! Lucas: Nailed it! Now let's use these numbers in a mini-scene. Imagine you're at a market buying apples. You want six apples. How would you say that? Luna: Uh... 'Jag vill ha sex äpplen'? Wait, is 'äpplen' plural? Lucas: Exactly! 'Äpplen' is the plural of 'äpple'. So 'sex äpplen' – six apples. Great job. Luna: Sex äpplen. That's cute. Lucas: Now, what if you want seven bananas? Bananer is plural. Luna: Sju bananer. Lucas: Yes! And eight oranges? Luna: Åtta apelsiner. Lucas: Perfect! You're getting it. Let's practice one more time the numbers 6-10 in order. Repeat after me: sex. Luna: Sex. Lucas: Sju. Luna: Sju. Lucas: Åtta. Luna: Åtta. Lucas: Nio. Luna: Nio. Lucas: Tio. Luna: Tio. Lucas: Now backwards: tio. Luna: Tio. Lucas: Nio. Luna: Nio. Lucas: Åtta. Luna: Åtta. Lucas: Sju. Luna: Sju. Lucas: Sex. Luna: Sex. Lucas: Excellent! Now, let's combine with a phrase you already know: 'Jag vill ha' – I want. So you can say 'Jag vill ha sju äpplen' or 'Jag vill ha tio bananer'. Try one. Luna: Jag vill ha sex apelsiner. Lucas: Perfect! You're ready for the market. Let's do a quick recap of today's phrases: sex, sju, åtta, nio, tio. Luna: Sex, sju, åtta, nio, tio. Lucas: Don't forget to practice counting things around you – books, cups, cats. And if you have five cats, you can say 'Jag har fem katter'. But if you have six, you say 'Jag har sex katter'. Luna: Oh, that's a good one. I only have two cats, so 'Jag har två katter'. But I'll practice for when I get more. Lucas: That's the spirit. Thanks for joining us on Learn Swedish with Fexingo. Keep practicing, and see you next time! Luna: Hej då! See you!
