- Lucas: Välkommen tillbaka till Learn Swedish with Fexingo. Jag är Lucas. Luna: Och jag är Luna. Idag ska vi fortsätta med kläder, eller hur? Lucas: Exactly. We've bought a sweater, a hat, gloves... now it's time for something really warm. A winter jacket. Luna: Oh, perfect for this cold weather! How do we say 'winter jacket' in Swedish? Lucas: En vinterjacka. Say it with me: vinterjacka. Luna: Vinterjacka. Lucas: And if you want to say 'I would like a winter jacket,' you say: Jag skulle vilja ha en vinterjacka. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en vinterjacka. That's a long one. Lucas: Let's break it down. Jag skulle vilja ha... you've heard that before. That's 'I would like to have.' And en vinterjacka. So: Jag skulle vilja ha en vinterjacka. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en vinterjacka. Lucas: Perfect. Now, let's say you see a jacket you like, but you want it in black. You ask: Har ni den i svart? Do you have it in black? Luna: Har ni den i svart? Lucas: Exactly. Har ni – do you have, den – it, i svart – in black. So: Har ni den i svart? Luna: Har ni den i svart? Lucas: Nice. Now, maybe you want to know the size. You can ask: Vad är det för storlek? What size is it? Luna: Vad är det för storlek? Lucas: Yes. Storlek means size. So: Vad är det för storlek? Luna: Vad är det för storlek? Got it. Lucas: And if you want to try it on, you say: Får jag prova den? May I try it on? Luna: Får jag prova den? Lucas: Prova means try. So: Får jag prova den? Luna: Får jag prova den? That sounds very polite. Lucas: It is. And if it fits perfectly, you can say: Den passar perfekt. It fits perfectly. Luna: Den passar perfekt. I hope I get to say that someday. Lucas: And finally, if you want to buy it, you say: Jag tar den. I'll take it. Luna: Jag tar den. Short and sweet. Lucas: Let's hear them all together. Repeat after me: Jag skulle vilja ha en vinterjacka. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en vinterjacka. Lucas: Har ni den i svart? Luna: Har ni den i svart? Lucas: Vad är det för storlek? Luna: Vad är det för storlek? Lucas: Får jag prova den? Luna: Får jag prova den? Lucas: Den passar perfekt. Luna: Den passar perfekt. Lucas: Jag tar den. Luna: Jag tar den. Lucas: Bravo! Now, let's imagine you're in a store. The salesperson says: Hej, kan jag hjälpa dig? Hello, can I help you? What do you say? Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha en vinterjacka. Lucas: They show you one. You like it but want black? Luna: Har ni den i svart? Lucas: They say yes. You ask the size? Luna: Vad är det för storlek? Lucas: It's medium. You want to try? Luna: Får jag prova den? Lucas: You try it on. It fits. Luna: Den passar perfekt. Lucas: And you buy it. Luna: Jag tar den. Lucas: You did it! That's a whole shopping conversation. Luna: Wow, that felt real. I could actually do that now. Lucas: Speaking of real, if Fexingo has been helping you make actual progress with Swedish, I just want to mention something quickly.
