Lucas: We might. But first, we need to know how to ask to see them. Luna: How do I say 'I would like to look at the dog'? Lucas: Say it slowly. Jag skulle vilja titta på hunden. Luna: Jag skulle vilja titta på hunden. Is that right? Lucas: Perfect. Jag skulle vilja titta på hunden. It means I would like to look at the dog. Luna: Let me try again. Jag skulle vilja titta på hunden. Lucas: Exactly. You are getting the rhythm. Jag skulle vilja titta på hunden. Luna: Okay, I am at the counter. The shopkeeper looks up. Lucas: You say: Jag skulle vilja titta på hunden. What happens next? Luna: He points to a cage. There is a little puppy inside. Lucas: Good. Now you want to know about its food. Luna: Right. How do I ask 'What does this dog eat'? Lucas: Listen closely. Vad äter den här hunden? Luna: Vad äter den här hunden? That sounds friendly. Lucas: It is. Vad äter den här hunden? What does this dog eat? Luna: Let me repeat it. Vad äter den här hunden? Lucas: Spot on. Vad äter den här hunden? Say it one more time. Luna: Vad äter den här hunden. I feel like a pro already. Lucas: The shopkeeper smiles. He says it eats special kibble. Luna: Interesting. And how old is the puppy? Lucas: To ask age, use this phrase. Hur gammal är den? Luna: Hur gammal är den? Does den mean 'it' here? Lucas: Yes. Den refers to the dog. Hur gammal är den? How old is it? Luna: Hur gammal är den? Let me practice that flow. Lucas: You nailed it. Hur gammal är den? Very natural. Luna: The puppy is three months old. Cute. Lucas: But wait. You also have a cat at home. Luna: Oh no. My cat needs food too. Can I ask for cat food? Lucas: Absolutely. Use this phrase. Har ni mat till katten? Luna: Har ni mat till katten? Do you have food for the cat? Lucas: Correct. Har ni mat till katten? Katten means the cat. Luna: Har ni mat till katten? I can ask both questions now. Lucas: Yes. For the dog: Vad äter den här hunden? For the cat: Har ni mat till katten? Luna: This is so useful. What if I decide to buy something? Lucas: We used this phrase for other items. It works here too. Luna: Jag tar den, tack? I will take it, thank you? Lucas: Precisely. Jag tar den, tack. It is polite and clear. Luna: Jag tar den, tack. I love how simple that is. Lucas: Let us put it all together in a quick scene. Luna: Okay. I walk in. Jag skulle vilja titta på hunden. Lucas: Good start. Then you ask about the food. Luna: Vad äter den här hunden? And then I check the age. Lucas: Hur gammal är den? Finally, you buy the cat food. Luna: Har ni mat till katten? Yes. And then... Jag tar den, tack. Lucas: Perfect sequence. You handled that beautifully. Luna: I feel ready for any Swedish pet store. Lucas: Remember to review these phrases. Repetition helps memory. Luna: Jag skulle vilja titta på hunden. I will say it every day. Lucas: And don't forget the donation link if you can help. Buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Luna: Thanks for listening.
