- Lucas: Welcome back to another episode of Learn Swedish with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Ready for some more Swedish? Today I want to learn how to buy a phone charger. Lucas: Oh, that's a good one. Everyone needs a charger at some point. So let's start with the basic phrase: Jag skulle vilja ha en telefonladdare. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en telefonladdare. That's a mouthful. Can you say it slowly? Lucas: Sure. Jag skulle vilja ha en telefonladdare. Telefonladdare means phone charger. Luna: Telefonladdare. Okay, I think I got it. Jag skulle vilja ha en telefonladdare. Lucas: Perfect. Now, if you want to ask for a specific type, like for an iPhone, you say: Har ni en till iPhone? Luna: Har ni en till iPhone? So that's 'do you have one for iPhone?' Lucas: Exactly. Har ni en till iPhone? Let's hear you try it. Luna: Har ni en till iPhone? That's pretty straightforward. Lucas: Yeah. Now, after they show you the charger, you'll want to ask the price: Hur mycket kostar den? Luna: Hur mycket kostar den? That's how much does it cost, right? Lucas: Exactly. Hur mycket kostar den? Say it with me. Luna: Hur mycket kostar den? Got it. Lucas: And if you decide to buy it, you say: Jag tar den, tack. Luna: Jag tar den, tack. I'll take it, thanks. That's simple. Lucas: Right. So let's put it all together. Imagine you're at the store. I'm the shopkeeper. You walk in. Luna: Okay. Hej! Jag skulle vilja ha en telefonladdare. Lucas: Hej! Har ni en till iPhone? Luna: Ja, här är en. Hur mycket kostar den? Lucas: Den kostar 199 kronor. Luna: Okej, jag tar den, tack. Lucas: That was great! You used all four phrases. Luna: Thanks! But I need to remember 'telefonladdare' and 'till iPhone'. Lucas: You'll get it with practice. Let's go through them all again. First: Jag skulle vilja ha en telefonladdare. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en telefonladdare. Lucas: Har ni en till iPhone? Luna: Har ni en till iPhone? Lucas: Hur mycket kostar den? Luna: Hur mycket kostar den? Lucas: Och: Jag tar den, tack. Luna: Jag tar den, tack. Lucas: You've got it. Now, let's do another quick role-play, but this time you're the shopkeeper. Luna: Okay, I'll try. Hej! Hur kan jag hjälpa dig? Lucas: Hej! Jag skulle vilja ha en telefonladdare. Har ni en till Samsung? Luna: Ja, här är en. Den kostar 149 kronor. Lucas: Okej, jag tar den, tack. Luna: Bra! That was fun. Lucas: You did really well.
