| INTRODUCTION |

| Dana: Hi, everyone. I'm Dana. |
| Mirai: And I'm Mirai. |

| Mirai: Köat fyra timmar men snart är det dax! Kan knappt vänta! |
| Dana: Meaning - "Queued for four hours, but it's almost time! Can barely wait!" Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| Anders: Köat fyra timmar men snart är det dax! Kan knappt vänta! |
| Dana: "Queued for four hours, but it's almost time! Can barely wait!" |
| (clicking sound) |
| Amanda: Ha kul, du förtjänar det! |
| Dana: "Have fun, you deserve it!" |
| Caroline: Vad äre för konsert? |

| Elias: Akta dig för moshpiten! |
| Dana: "Watch out for the mosh pit!" |
| Alex: Palla köa i fyra timmar! |
| Dana: "How can you queue for four hours?!" |
| POST |
| Dana: Listen again to Anders's post. |
| Mirai: Köat fyra timmar men snart är det dax! Kan knappt vänta! |
| Dana: "Queued for four hours, but it's almost time! Can barely wait!" |
| Mirai: (SLOW) Köat fyra timmar men snart är det dax! Kan knappt vänta! (Regular) Köat fyra timmar men snart är det dax! Kan knappt vänta! |
| Dana: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "It's almost time!" |
| Mirai: Snart är det dax! "äre" is short for "är det"... |
| Dana: ...meaning "is it." |
| Mirai: "Dax"... |
| Dana: ...is slang for "time," so the expression just means “it's almost time.” It can be used independently or another part can be added. For example… |
| Mirai: Det är snart dax för helg. |
| Dana: ”It's almost time for the weekend.” Listen again. "It's almost time!" is... |
| Mirai: (SLOW) Snart är det dax! (REGULAR) Snart är det dax! |
| Dana: Then comes the phrase "can barely wait!" |
| Mirai: Kan knappt vänta! |
| Dana: This is an expression used when someone is excited about something. It can be used independently or another part can be added. For example... |
| Mirai: Kan knappt vänta till semestern. |
| Dana: “Can barely wait till the holidays!” Listen again. "Can barely wait!" is... |
| Mirai: (SLOW) Kan knappt vänta! (REGULAR) Kan knappt vänta! |
| Dana: All together, it's "Queued for four hours, but it's almost time! Can barely wait!" |
| Mirai: Köat fyra timmar men snart är det dax! Kan knappt vänta! |
