Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Swedish with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. We are back at the store. Lucas: Exactly. Last time we asked for sizes. Now we ask for colors. Luna: Oh, that makes sense. I usually just grab whatever is there. Lucas: Not anymore. Today we learn five color phrases. Luna: Let us start with the first one. It is very common. Lucas: Yes. The phrase is: Har ni den i svart? Luna: Har ni den i svart? What does it mean? Lucas: It means: Do you have it in black? Luna: Har ni den i svart? I can say that. Lucas: Try it again. Slowly. Har ni den i svart? Luna: Har ni den i svart? Okay. That feels right. Lucas: Good. Now let us try the second phrase. Luna: Is this for blue? Finns den i blå? Lucas: Yes. Finns den i blå? It means: Is there one in blue? Luna: Finns den i blå? Wait. Is it 'blue' or 'blå'? Lucas: It is 'blå'. Like the letter B. But shorter. Luna: Finns den i blå? Got it. That was easier than I thought. Lucas: We are doing well. Next phrase is strong. Luna: Jag vill ha den i grön? I want it in green? Lucas: Exactly. Jag vill ha den i grön? You use this when you decide. Luna: Jag vill ha den i grön? I love that one. It is direct. Lucas: It is very polite but firm. Try it once more. Luna: Jag vill ha den i grön? Yes. I really want green. Lucas: Perfect. One more before we pause. Luna: Kan jag få den i vit? Can I get it in white? Lucas: Correct. Kan jag få den i vit? It is a standard request. Luna: Kan jag få den i vit? That sounds so natural. Lucas: It is. You will use this often. White is popular here. Luna: I know. Everyone wears white in summer. Lucas: Speaking of colors, what about red? Luna: Ah, the last phrase. Den passar inte i röd. Lucas: Yes. Den passar inte i röd? It means: It does not fit/work in red. Luna: Den passar inte i röd? So if I hate the red one? Lucas: Exactly. You reject it politely. Den passar inte i röd? Luna: Den passar inte i röd? Okay. No red for me today. Lucas: Let us review them quickly. Start with black. Luna: Har ni den i svart? Do you have it in black? Lucas: Good. Now blue. Luna: Finns den i blå? Is there one in blue? Lucas: Nice. Green next. Luna: Jag vill ha den i grön? I want it in green? Lucas: Strong choice. White now. Luna: Kan jag få den i vit? Can I get it in white? Lucas: Easy. And finally, the rejection. Luna: Den passar inte i röd? It does not pass in red? Lucas: It means it does not work for you. Very useful. Luna: I feel ready to shop now. Just need a list. Lucas: We should mention something important here. Luna: What is that? Lucas: This show has no ads. We keep it clean for learning. Luna: Yeah.

But it is only black. Luna: What do you say? Har ni den i svart? Lucas: No, wait. You already see black. You want another color. Luna: Oh. Right. Ask for blue. Finns den i blå? Lucas: The clerk says no. But they have green. Luna: Great. Tell them. Jag vill ha den i grön? Lucas: They hand it to you. It is too small. Luna: So you ask for size up. But also check the color. Lucas: Do you want white? Kan jag få den i vit? Luna: Maybe. Or maybe you just take the green one. Lucas: If you take it, you pay. Simple transaction. Luna: But what if the red one was actually nice? Lucas: Then you would try it on. And realize it looks bad. Luna: True. Then you say: Den passar inte i röd? Lucas: Exactly. You leave the red one behind. Luna: This is actually quite fun. Talking about clothes. Lucas: It is practical. You need these words daily. Luna: I think I will go shopping tomorrow. To test them. Lucas: Good idea. Bring a friend who speaks Swedish.
