| POST |
| John: Listen again to Johanne's post. |
| Anne: Forsøder ventetiden med en bagel og en kaffe. Man er vel livsnyder! |
| John: "Sweetening the wait with a bagel and a coffee. I am surely a hedonist!" |
| Anne: (SLOW) Forsøder ventetiden med en bagel og en kaffe. Man er vel livsnyder! (REGULAR) Forsøder ventetiden med en bagel og en kaffe. Man er vel livsnyder! |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Sweetening the wait with a bagel and a coffee." |
| Anne: Forsøder ventetiden med en bagel og en kaffe. |
| John: You can use this phrase to indicate that you're making a wait better or more pleasurable by buying a bagel and a coffee. Remember, Danes love making situations just a little bit better, even if they're already pretty good. Listen again- "Sweetening the wait with a bagel and a coffee" is... |
| Anne: (SLOW) Forsøder ventetiden med en bagel og en kaffe. (REGULAR) Forsøder ventetiden med en bagel og en kaffe. |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "I am surely a hedonist!" |
| Anne: Man er vel livsnyder! |
| John: This phrase is great to describe Danes in general, as they love enjoying life and all its assets, which is quite easy to do in Denmark. Here, the pronoun |
| Anne: man |
| John: is equivalent of "you" or "one." Listen again- "I am surely a hedonist" is... |
| Anne: (SLOW) Man er vel livsnyder! (REGULAR) Man er vel livsnyder! |
| John: All together, it's "Sweetening the wait with a bagel and a coffee. I am surely a hedonist!" |
| Anne: Forsøder ventetiden med en bagel og en kaffe. Man er vel livsnyder! |
