Latest / Learn Danish with Fexingo / Danish Feelings - Glad, Trist, Træt
Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, ready for another Danish lesson? Luna: Yeah! I actually practiced the furniture words from last time. Bord, stol, seng... Lucas: Nice! You're getting good at those. Today let's talk about how you feel. Luna: Feelings? Like happy, sad? Lucas: Exactly. In Danish, 'glad' means happy. Say it with me: glad. Luna: Glad. Lucas: Perfect. Now if you're happy, you say 'Jeg er glad.' Jeg er glad. Luna: Jeg er glad. Lucas: There you go. So if I ask you 'Er du glad?', you can answer 'Ja, jeg er glad.' Luna: Ja, jeg er glad. That feels good to say. Lucas: Now the opposite: 'trist' — sad. Say it: trist. Luna: Trist. Lucas: And 'Jeg er trist' means I am sad. Jeg er trist. Luna: Jeg er trist. That one is... well, a bit sad. Lucas: But it's useful. And another common one: 'træt' — tired. Træt. Luna: Træt. That one sounds like 'tret' almost. Lucas: Close enough. So 'Jeg er træt' means I am tired. Jeg er træt. Luna: Jeg er træt. I'll be using that one a lot after work. Lucas: Let's try a little scene. Imagine you come home and I ask 'Hvordan har du det?' — How are you? Luna: Oh that's new. Hvordan har du det? Lucas: You can answer with one of our new words. For example, 'Jeg er glad.' Luna: Okay. Hvordan har du det? Jeg er glad. Lucas: Perfect. Or if you've had a long day: 'Jeg er træt.' Luna: Jeg er træt. That one is easy to remember. Lucas: You know, Fexingo is all about helping you make progress with these real phrases. Luna: Yeah, and I love that there are no ads. Just learning. Lucas: Exactly. We keep it ad-free because we believe in that. If you want to support the show, there's a simple way: buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Luna: That's nice. Every little bit helps keep this going. Lucas: Absolutely. So back to our feelings. Let's practice a short conversation. I'll ask 'Er du glad?' and you answer. Luna: Okay. Er du glad? Lucas: Wait, you're supposed to answer, not ask! But okay, I'll answer: Ja, jeg er glad. Now you ask me. Luna: Er du glad? Lucas: Ja, jeg er glad. And then you could say 'Jeg er også glad' — I am also happy. Luna: Jeg er også glad. Ooh, 'også' — also. I like that. Lucas: Great! Now let's swap. I'll ask 'Er du trist?' and you answer. Luna: Nej, jeg er ikke trist. Jeg er glad. Lucas: Perfect. You used 'ikke' — not. So 'jeg er ikke trist' means I am not sad. Luna: Jeg er ikke trist. That's so useful. Lucas: And if someone asks 'Hvordan har du det?', you can answer 'Jeg er træt' or 'Jeg er glad'. Luna: Hvordan har du det? Jeg er glad. Lucas: Excellent. Let's do one more round. I'll say a feeling, you repeat. Luna: Sure. Lucas: Glad. Luna: Glad. Lucas: Trist. Luna: Trist. Lucas: Træt. Luna: Træt. Lucas: Now full sentences: Jeg er glad. Luna: Jeg er glad. Lucas: Jeg er trist. Luna: Jeg er trist. Lucas: Jeg er træt. Luna: Jeg er træt. Lucas: You've got it. Next time we can add more feelings like 'sulten' — hungry. Luna: Ooh, I want to learn that one. But for now, I'll practice glad, trist, and træt. Lucas: Perfect. Keep practicing, and remember: if you're ever feeling træt, just say 'Jeg er træt' and take a break. Luna: Hmm, that's good advice. Tak, Lucas. Lucas: Det var så lidt. See you next time!
