- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Swedish with Fexingo. I'm Lucas, and as always, Luna is here with me. Luna: Hey hey! And if you've been with us for a while, you know we love a good shopping trip. Last episode we snagged a flashlight, remember? Lucas: We did. And today we're on a new mission: buying a backpack. If Fexingo has been helping you make progress with Swedish, and today's episode is worth a coffee to you, we have a link: buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. It keeps us ad-free. No pressure. Luna: Yeah, it's a small way to say thanks if you're enjoying it. But let's get to the backpack! Lucas: Right. So picture this: you walk into a store in Sweden, and you need a backpack. The first thing you say is: Jag skulle vilja ha en ryggsäck. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en ryggsäck. That's a mouthful. Lucas: Slowly: Jag skulle vilja ha en ryggsäck. It means 'I would like a backpack.' Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en ryggsäck. Lucas: Perfect. Now, you see one you like, but you want it in black. You ask: Har ni den i svart? Luna: Har ni den i svart? That's 'do you have it in black?' Lucas: Exactly. Har ni den i svart? Luna: Har ni den i svart? Lucas: Good. Now, what if the one you find is too small? You want a bigger size, so you say: Har ni den i en större storlek? Luna: Har ni den i en större storlek? That's a real tongue twister. Lucas: It's long but useful. Har ni den i en större storlek? means 'do you have it in a bigger size?' Luna: Har ni den i en större storlek? Lucas: Great job. Next, you want to try it on, so you ask: Får jag prova den? Luna: Får jag prova den? That's 'can I try it on?' Lucas: Exactly. Får jag prova den? Luna: Får jag prova den? Lucas: And of course, you need to know the price. So: Hur mycket kostar den? Luna: Hur mycket kostar den? How much does it cost? Lucas: Yes. Hur mycket kostar den? Luna: Hur mycket kostar den? Lucas: So let's imagine the whole scene. You walk in, say: Jag skulle vilja ha en ryggsäck. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en ryggsäck. Lucas: The shop assistant shows you a couple. You like a black one, but it's a bit small. So: Har ni den i svart? and Har ni den i en större storlek? Luna: Har ni den i svart? Har ni den i en större storlek? Lucas: You try it on: Får jag prova den? Luna: Får jag prova den? Lucas: And you ask the price: Hur mycket kostar den? Luna: Hur mycket kostar den? Lucas: Then you decide. Maybe you say: Jag tar den, tack. But that's for another episode. Luna: Oh, we're not buying it today? Lucas: We're just learning the questions. But you can practice them all together. Now, try saying all five in a row. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en ryggsäck. Har ni den i svart? Har ni den i en större storlek? Får jag prova den? Hur mycket kostar den? Lucas: That was awesome. You're ready to shop for a backpack in Sweden. Luna: I'm ready. And if I get confused, I'll just repeat those phrases. Lucas: That's the spirit. Remember, practice makes perfect. See you next time for more Swedish with Fexingo. Luna: Hejdå!
