Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back, everyone, to Learn Danish with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Ready for another tiny lesson? Today feels like a thirsty day. Lucas: It does. And since we've already covered coffee and tea at the café, let's talk about two other drinks: water and juice. Luna: Oh, good. I always get confused with water. Is it 'vand'? Lucas: Exactly. Vand. But if you want a glass of water, you say: et glas vand. Luna: Et glas vand. So that's 'a glass of water'. Lucas: Right. And you order it like this: Jeg vil gerne have et glas vand. Luna: Jeg vil gerne have et glas vand. That's a bit of a mouthful. Jeg vil gerne have et glas vand. Lucas: Perfect. You said it clearly. Now, what if you want orange juice? That's appelsinjuice. Luna: Appelsinjuice. Orange juice. Appelsinjuice. Lucas: Yes. And you can just say: Appelsinjuice, tak. Luna: Appelsinjuice, tak. That's easy. Lucas: Now, imagine you're at a café in summer. You might want ice in your drink. The word for ice is is. Luna: Is. Like the English word 'ice' but spoken shorter. Lucas: Exactly. And you can ask: Har du is? Luna: Har du is? Do you have ice? Lucas: Yes. And if you want it with ice, you say: Med is, tak. Luna: Med is, tak. With ice, please. So if I order an orange juice with ice, it's Appelsinjuice med is, tak. Lucas: You got it. Let's practice the full order. I'll be the server. You're the customer. Luna: Okay. Hej, jeg vil gerne have et glas vand. Lucas: Godt. Vil du have is? Luna: Ja, med is, tak. Lucas: Sådan. Perfect. You just ordered a water with ice. Luna: Nice. And for juice: Appelsinjuice, tak. Lucas: Simple. And you can also ask for apple juice: æblejuice. Luna: Æblejuice. That sounds like apple juice with a Danish twist. Lucas: Exactly. Let's say all our phrases together one more time. Repeat after me. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: Et glas vand. Luna: Et glas vand. Lucas: Jeg vil gerne have et glas vand. Luna: Jeg vil gerne have et glas vand. Lucas: Appelsinjuice, tak. Luna: Appelsinjuice, tak. Lucas: Har du is? Luna: Har du is? Lucas: Med is, tak. Luna: Med is, tak. Lucas: You did great. Now you can confidently order water and juice in Danish. Luna: And if I'm really thirsty, I can order a big glass of vand med is. Lucas: Exactly.
