| Dana: ...means “to try out” and is often used when someone tries something for the first time, like a restaurant, a product, or an activity. Slussen is the name of an area in Stockholm. Listen again. "Trying Out Slussen’s New Restaurant" is... |
| Mirai: (SLOW) Testar Slussen’s nya restaurang. (REGULAR) Testar Slussen’s nya restaurang. |
