| Hey everyone, I'm Jonas. |
| Hej alle sammen, mit navn er Jonas. |
| Welcome to the Danish Whiteboard Lessons. |
| In this lesson, you'll learn how to give someone your phone number. |
| Let's get started. |
| Okay, let's look at the vocabulary. |
| First we have nul, 0, nul, nul, en, et, 1, en, et, en, et. |
| And to, 2, to, to, tre, 3, tre, tre, fire, 4, fire, fire. |
| fem, 5, fem, fem, seks, 6, seks, seks, syv, 7, syv, syv, syv. |
| otte, 8, otte, otte, ni, 9, ni, ni, and ti, 10, ti, ti, ti. |
| elleve, 11, elleve, elleve, tolv, 12, tolv, tolv, tretten, 13, tretten, tretten. |
| fjorten, 14, fjorten, fjorten, femten, 15, femten, femten. |
| seksten, 16, seksten, seksten, sytten, 17, sytten, sytten, atten, 18, atten, atten. |
| nitten, 19, nitten, nitten, and the last one here, tyve, 20, tyve, tyve. |
| Going on, we get at enogtyve, 21, enogtyve, enogtyve, toogtyve, 22, toogtyve, toogtyve. |
| And then we go up in the tens here. |
| tredive, 30, tredive, tredive, fyrre, 40, fyrre, fyrre, halvtreds, 50, halvtreds, halvtreds. |
| tres, 60, tres, tres, halvfjerds, 70, halvfjerds, halvfjerds |
| firs, 80, firs, firs, halvems, 90, halvems, halvems. |
| Let's look at the dialogue. |
| When I read, I want you to pay attention to the phone number. |
| Listen to the numbers and see how they are used in the dialogue. |
| Hvad er dit telefonnummer? |
| What is your phone number? |
| Mit telefonnummer er 91-23-45-83 (enoghalvfems-treogtyve-femogfyrre-treogfirs). |
| My phone number is 91-23-45-83. |
| Now, let's look at the comprehension of today's vocabulary. |
| Here we have hvad, hvad, hvad, what, and hvad is a general Danish question word and it's constructed by HV. |
| HV is for all Danish question words, so hvad, what. |
| Next is er, is, er, er. |
| This is the standard to be verb in Danish. |
| And then we have telefonnummer, phone number, telephonenummer, telephonenummer. |
| This is the standard noun for phone number in Danish. |
| And finally we have mit, my, mit, mit. |
| Mit is a possessive noun of my in first person singular in Danish. |
| Alright, so now we have the vocabulary and we also have the dialogue and we know the grammar of the dialogue. |
| So, you may be noticed that something is a little bit different from English to Danish on how you say your phone number. |
| So, basic is that Danish phone number are always eight digits. |
| And the tricky part is you say them in pairs. |
| So, you go two-two, two-two, two-two, and two-two. |
| Alright, so how do we do this? |
| So, here's the example. Let's look at it. |
| enogtredive, femogfirs, seksogfyrre, syvogtyve. |
| So, that's 31, 85, 46, 27. |
| Alright, so did you hear the difference in there? |
| So, when you do double digits in Danish, you actually turn around in them, right? |
| So, for instance, the example could be the number 83. |
| In Danish, we don't say 83, we say 3 and 80. |
| So, that would go trei og firs, treogfirs. |
| Alright, so again, the example would be enogtredive, femogfirs, seksogfyrre, syvogtyve. |
| Okay, now, as a pure Danish beginner, you're definitely allowed to take it down a notch a little bit. |
| So, you could do single digits. Let's try that. |
| So, it goes trei, en, otte, fem, fire, seks, to, syv. |
| That's pretty easy, right? |
| But, again, the correct way to give your phone number would be enogtredive, femogfirs, seksogfyrre, syvogtyve. |
| Alright, you definitely need to practice a little bit here for this one. |
| So, here's another example, the last one, let's see if we can do that together, right? |
| 66, 15, 08, and 77. |
| Alright, let's see if we can do the beginner version of that. |
| So, only single digits for this one. |
| You ready? Here we go. |
| seks, seks, en, fem, nul, otte, syv, syv. |
| Tricky? Maybe. Let's try the correct way where we do double digits for this one. |
| seksogtres, femten, nul otte, syvoghalvfjerds |
| Alright, there you go. |
