- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Swedish with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. It is good to be back. Lucas: We have been learning so much lately about buying things. Luna: Yes. We bought a bicycle. And a helmet. And a lamp. Lucas: It has been a very productive series on shopping. Luna: I think I could buy the whole store by now. Lucas: Maybe not the whole store. But we can certainly dress for winter. Luna: Oh, right. The weather is getting colder. Lucas: Exactly. In Sweden, winter accessories are very important. Luna: So today we are going to buy some warm clothes? Lucas: That is right. We are going to focus on three items. Luna: A scarf, gloves, and a hat. I love those. Lucas: Let us start with the first item. The scarf. Luna: How do you say scarf in Swedish? Lucas: The word is halsduk. Luna: Halsduk. Okay. Halsduk. Lucas: Good. Now let us make it a full sentence. Luna: I would like to have a scarf? Lucas: Yes. Jag skulle vilja ha en halsduk. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en halsduk. Lucas: Perfect. That means I would like to have a scarf. Luna: I feel very polite already. Lucas: It is the standard way to ask for something. Luna: Okay. So I walk into the shop. Lucas: You see a beautiful red scarf on the table. Luna: Oh wow. I want that one. Lucas: But you need to specify the color. Luna: Right. How do I ask for the red one? Lucas: You ask if they have it in red. Luna: Do you have it in red? Lucas: In Swedish: Har ni den i rött? Luna: Har ni den i rött? Lucas: Very good. Rött means red. Luna: Har ni den i rött? Yes. That sounds easy. Lucas: The shopkeeper says yes. They hand you the scarf. Luna: Now what do I do? Lucas: You should try it on. It is only polite. Luna: Can I try it on? Lucas: Here is the phrase: Får jag prova den? Luna: Får jag prova den? Lucas: Excellent. Prova means to try. Luna: Får jag prova den? I wrap it around my neck. Lucas: It looks wonderful on you. Luna: Really? Do I like it? Lucas: You want to say it fits well. Luna: It fits well? Lucas: Yes. Den passar bra. Luna: Den passar bra. Oh, that feels nice. Lucas: Passar means fits or suits. Luna: Den passar bra. It really does suit me. Lucas: Now you are ready to buy it. Luna: How do I say I will take this one? Lucas: You say: Jag tar den här, tack. Luna: Jag tar den här, tack. Lucas: Den här means this one. Luna: Jag tar den här, tack. Thank you. Lucas: You have just bought your first scarf. Luna: I feel so stylish already. Lucas: But wait. We still need gloves and a hat. Luna: Oh no. More phrases? Lucas: The good news is, you use the same phrases. Luna: Really? Just change the word for the item? Lucas: Exactly. Let us practice with gloves. Luna: Gloves is handskar. Lucas: Correct. So, Jag skulle vilja ha ett par handskar. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha ett par handskar. Lucas: Par means pair. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha ett par handskar. Got it. Lucas: Now you pick a pair. You ask for the color. Luna: Har ni dem i svart? Lucas: Dem refers to plural items like gloves. Luna: Har ni dem i svart? Black. Okay. Lucas: You try them on. How do you say it fits? Luna: Den passar bra? Or Dem passar bra? Lucas: For gloves, you usually refer to the pair as singular. Luna: Ah. So Den passar bra is fine. Lucas: Yes. Den passar bra. It works perfectly. Luna: Den passar bra. And then I buy them. Lucas: Jag tar den här, tack. Luna: Jag tar den här, tack. One more time. Lucas: One more time. Jag tar den här, tack. Luna: Jag tar den här, tack. Nailed it. Lucas: Now for the hat. Hat is hatt. Luna: Hatt. Simple enough. Lucas: So, Jag skulle vilja ha en hatt. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en hatt. Lucas: You find a blue hat. You ask for it. Luna: Har ni den i blått? Lucas: Blått is blue. Luna: Har ni den i blått? Yes. Lucas: You put it on your head. Luna: Får jag prova den? Lucas: Prova again. To try. Luna: Får jag prova den? It sits nicely. Lucas: Den passar bra. Luna: Den passar bra. It fits perfectly. Lucas: And finally, you buy it. Luna: Jag tar den här, tack. Lucas: Jag tar den här, tack. Luna: Jag tar den här, tack. I am fully dressed for winter. Lucas: You are ready for the snow. Luna: This was easier than I thought. Lucas: Because the pattern stays the same. Luna: Request the item. Ask for the color. Try it on. Buy it. Lucas: Exactly. Four steps. Always. Luna: I can use these anywhere. Lucas: Any shop in Sweden. Or any country. Luna: I feel confident now.
