But today we focus on the accessories that keep you warm. Specifically, head and hand gear. Luna: I love accessories. They make an outfit. Okay, let us start with the neck. Lucas: Good idea. The word for scarf is de sjaal. Listen to me. Lucas: De sjaal.... De sjaal. Luna: De sjaal. Is it pronounced like shaal? Lucas: Exactly. Shaal. De sjaal. It wraps around your neck. Luna: De sjaal. I need a big one. Maybe red. Lucas: Red is rood. A red de sjaal looks great. Let us move to the head. Luna: The hat. What do they call it? Lucas: The word for hat is de hoed. Here it is slowly. Lucas: De hoed.... De hoed. Luna: De hoed. That sounds soft. Like wood. Lucas: It does. Hoed. Keep it short. De hoed. Luna: De hoed. Okay. I can imagine wearing a wool de hoed. Lucas: Perfect. Now for the most important part. Your hands. Luna: Oh no. My fingers get so cold. What is the word? Lucas: Gloves is de handschoenen. It is a plural word. Lucas: De handschoenen.... De handschoenen. Luna: De handschoenen. That is long. Handschoenen. Lucas: Yes. Handschoenen. You put them on both hands. Luna: De handschoenen. I hope they are warm. Not thin ones. Lucas: Definitely not thin ones.
