Transcript
- Lucas: Hej hej! Welcome back to Learn Swedish with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Episode 24, can you believe it? We've learned so much. Lucas: We really have. Today we're going to talk about animals. Djur. Luna: Ooh, I love animals! What's the first one? Lucas: Let's start with a very common pet. En hund. Say it with me: en hund. Luna: En hund. That's a dog, right? Like a fluffy one. Lucas: Exactly. En hund. Good. Now, another super common one: en katt. Luna: En katt. That's cat. I have a cat at home—well, in Swedish I'd say... Jag har en katt? Lucas: Perfect! Jag har en katt. And if you want to say 'I have a dog', it's Jag har en hund. Try that. Luna: Jag har en hund. Lucas: Yes! You said it. Now, let's learn a smaller animal. En fågel. Luna: En fågel. That's bird, right? Like the ones outside my window. Lucas: Exactly. En fågel. And here's one that lives in water: en fisk. Luna: En fisk. Fish! That's easy to remember because it sounds like 'fisk' in English... well, no, it's just fisk. Lucas: Right. And one more: en häst. A horse. Luna: En häst. That's a big animal. I like horses. Lucas: Great. So we have: en hund, en katt, en fågel, en fisk, en häst. Let's do a quick drill. I'll say the English, you say the Swedish. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: Dog. Luna: En hund. Lucas: Cat. Luna: En katt. Lucas: Bird. Luna: En fågel. Lucas: Fish. Luna: En fisk. Lucas: Horse. Luna: En häst. Nailed it! Lucas: You did. Now let's put them in sentences. Remember from episode 20, we learned min, mitt, mina. Let's use en hund. Say 'my dog'. Luna: Min hund. Lucas: Perfect. And 'my cat'? Luna: Min katt. Lucas: Yes. And if it's an en word, we use min. So min hund, min katt, min fågel, min fisk, min häst. All use min because they're all en words. Let's say 'I have a horse'. Luna: Jag har en häst. Lucas: Beautiful. Now, 'It is a cat' — Det är en katt. Try it. Luna: Det är en katt. Lucas: Yes. So if you see a dog, you can say Det är en hund. Luna: Det är en hund. Lucas: Let's do a little scene. Imagine we're at a pet store. I point to a fish and say: Det är en fisk. You point to a bird and say... Luna: Det är en fågel. Lucas: Exactly. Then I say: Jag har en katt. Du? Luna: Jag har en hund. Oh, I like this game. It feels real. Lucas: That's the goal. Now let's review all five animals one more time. Repeat after me: en hund. Luna: En hund. Lucas: En katt. Luna: En katt. Lucas: En fågel. Luna: En fågel. Lucas: En fisk. Luna: En fisk. Lucas: En häst. Luna: En häst. Lucas: Wonderful. Now, if you want to say 'I have a dog and a cat', you can say: Jag har en hund och en katt. Try it. Luna: Jag har en hund och en katt. That's easy! Because 'och' is 'and'. Lucas: Right. And what about 'I have a bird and a fish'? Luna: Jag har en fågel och en fisk. Lucas: Perfect. You're a natural. Let's do one last thing: I'll say a sentence, and you tell me if it's true for you. Jag har en häst. Is that true? Luna: Nej, jag har ingen häst. But I wish! I have a cat. Jag har en katt. Lucas: Nice use of 'ingen' — that's 'no' or 'none'. We'll cover that another time. For now, remember: en hund, en katt, en fågel, en fisk, en häst. And the sentences Jag har en... and Det är en... are super useful. Luna: I feel like I can talk about pets now. Tack, Lucas! Lucas: Varsågod! Thanks for learning with Fexingo. Practice these animals, and next time we'll learn something new. Luna: Yes, see you next time! Hej då! Lucas: Hej då!
