- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Danish with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. Hi everyone. It is so good to be here again. Lucas: It really is. We have been doing such great work on food, travel, and shopping lately. Luna: Yes. And now we need to find those things. Or the people who own them. Lucas: Exactly. So today we are talking about location. Where things are. Luna: I love this. Because I lose my keys all the time. In real life too. Lucas: That is a very common problem. Let us start with the first phrase. Luna: Okay. How do I ask where something is? Lucas: You say: Hvor er min nøgle? Where is my key? Luna: Hvor er min nøgle? Lucas: Perfect. Now repeat it slowly. Hvor er min nøgle? Luna: Hvor er min nøgle? Lucas: Great. You sound like a detective looking for evidence. Luna: I feel very mysterious. But also very confused. Where is it? Lucas: Let us help you find it. The answer is simple. Den er i lommen. Luna: Den er i lommen. Lucas: Good. It means: It is in the pocket. Luna: Ah. Okay. Den er i lommen. Lucas: Repeat it one more time. Slowly. Den er i lommen. Luna: Den er i lommen. Lucas: Excellent. So if someone asks, Hvor er min nøgle?, you can say, Den er i lommen. Luna: Wait. Before we go deeper into pockets, I have a small request. Lucas: Sure thing. What is on your mind?

It really helps us focus on teaching rather than algorithms. Luna: Thanks for listening. Now let us get back to finding keys. Lucas: Right. Back to the kitchen. Your book is not in your pocket. Luna: No. It is on the table. How do I say that? Lucas: You use the word 'på'. Bogen er på bordet. Luna: Bogen er på bordet. Lucas: Nice. It means: The book is on the table. Luna: Bogen er på bordet. Lucas: Again. Slowly. Bogen er på bordet. Luna: Bogen er på bordet. Lucas: Perfect pronunciation. You are getting the hang of these locations. Luna: I think so. But wait. Where is my cat? Lucas: Cats are tricky. They like hidden places. Under the chair. Luna: Under the chair? Oh no. Katten er under stolen. Lucas: Yes. Katten er under stolen. Luna: Katten er under stolen. Lucas: Very good. It means: The cat is under the chair. Luna: Katten er under stolen. Lucas: One more time. Slowly. Katten er under stolen. Luna: Katten er under stolen. Lucas: Fantastic. Now let us put it all together in a little scene. Luna: I am ready. I am looking everywhere. Lucas: Ask me: Hvor er min nøgle? Luna: Hvor er min nøgle? Lucas: Answer: Den er i lommen. Luna: Den er i lommen. Lucas: Now look at the table. Say: Bogen er på bordet. Luna: Bogen er på bordet. Lucas: Look under the chair. Say: Katten er under stolen. Luna: Katten er under stolen. Lucas: You did it. You described three different locations perfectly. Luna: I feel like I could organize my whole house now. Lucas: Just make sure the cat stays under the chair while you clean. Luna: That might be hard. But I will try. Is he still there? Lucas: We can ask: Er den der? Luna: Er den der? Lucas: Yes. That means: Is it there? Luna: Er den der? Lucas: Repeat it slowly. Er den der? Luna: Er den der? Lucas: Great. Let us review what we learned today. Luna: Okay. First, how to ask where something is. Lucas: Hvor er min nøgle? Luna: Then, saying it is inside something. Lucas: Den er i lommen. Luna: Then, saying it is on top of something. Lucas: Bogen er på bordet. Luna: Then, saying it is underneath something. Lucas: Katten er under stolen. Luna: And finally, checking if it is still there. Lucas: Er den der? Luna: These are so useful. I use them every day. Lucas: They are basic, but they build your confidence quickly. Luna: I am going to practice these while I tidy up my room. Lucas: Do that. And tell the cat to stay put. Luna: I will try. Thanks for helping me learn, Lucas. Lucas: Thank you for learning with us. See you next time.
