| POST |
| Dana: Listen again to Amanda's post. |
| Mirai: Tappade luren i golvet. Vet någon vart jag kan laga en Iphone skärm billigt? |
| Dana: "Dropped my phone on the floor. Does anyone know where I can fix an iPhone screen cheaply?" |
| Mirai: (SLOW) Tappade luren i golvet. Vet någon vart jag kan laga en Iphone skärm billigt? (Regular) Tappade luren i golvet. Vet någon vart jag kan laga en Iphone skärm billigt? |
| Dana: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "dropped my phone on the floor." |
| Mirai: Tappade luren i golvet. |
| Dana: In this phrase... |
| Mirai: "lur" |
| Dana: … is slang for “phone” and is commonly used in Sweden. Unfortunately, people drop their phones a lot, so you may hear this often... |
| Mirai: Tappade |
| Dana: “dropped” |
| Mirai: luren or telefonen |
| Dana: “the phone” |
| Mirai: i golvet |
| Dana: “on the floor.” Listen again. "Dropped my phone on the floor" is... |
| Mirai: (SLOW) Tappade luren i golvet. (REGULAR) Tappade luren i golvet. |
| Dana: Then comes the sentence "Does anyone know where I can fix an iPhone screen cheaply?" |
| Mirai: Vet någon vart jag kan laga en Iphone skärm billigt? |
| Dana: The first two words... |
| Mirai: "Vet någon" |
| Dana: ...is a good start for asking a question, it means "does anyone know." |
| Mirai: Laga in this sentence means "to fix" or "to repair," but in other contexts it can also mean “to cook.” Listen to the expression again."Does anyone know where I can fix an iPhone screen cheaply?" is... |
| Mirai: (SLOW) Vet någon vart jag kan laga en Iphone skärm billigt? (REGULAR) Vet någon vart jag kan laga en Iphone skärm billigt? |
| Dana: All together, it's "Dropped my phone on the floor. Does anyone know where I can fix an iPhone screen cheaply?" |
| Mirai: Tappade luren i golvet. Vet någon vart jag kan laga en Iphone skärm billigt? |
