| Becky: Top 25 Danish Questions You Need to Know - Lesson 15: Do you have a cell phone? in Danish |
| In each lesson of this 25 part series, you'll master a common question for Danish learners, and then learn how to answer it like a native. You'll learn how these key phrases work by breaking them down into each component. Then through repetition and new vocabulary, you'll expand your understanding of the question, its answers, and any variations. |
| In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question Do you have a cell phone? In Danish this is |
| Loke: Har du en mobiltelefon? |
| Becky: The first word in the question is |
| Loke: har |
| Becky: meaning in this case “have” in English. |
| Loke: (Slow, by syllable) har |
| Becky: Listen again and repeat. |
| Loke: har |
| {Pause} |
| Becky: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is |
| Loke: du |
| Becky: meaning “you”. |
| Loke: (Slow, by syllable) du |
| Becky: Now repeat. |
| Loke: du |
| {Pause} |
| Becky: Listen to the first 2 words of the question and repeat. |
| Loke: har du |
| {pause} |
| Becky: And next |
| Loke: en |
| Becky: meaning “a”. |
| Loke: (Slow, by syllable) en |
| Becky: Now repeat. |
| Loke: en |
| {Pause} |
| Becky: Listen to the first 3 words of the question and repeat. |

| Loke: mobiltelefon |
| {Pause} |
| Becky: Listen to the entire question and repeat. |
| Loke: har du en mobiltelefon? |

| Becky: (You will hear this common question again and again throughout your studies.) Master the following pattern and responses to the question Do you have a cell phone? |
| Loke: Ja, jeg har en Samsung. |
| Becky: "Yes, I have a Samsung”. Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. |
| Loke: (Slow) Ja, jeg har en Samsung. |
| {pause} |
| Becky: To say "no", in a simple way, just say: |
| Loke: Nej. |
| Becky: Which is like saying No in English. Let's hear it slowly. |
| Loke: (Slowly) Nej. |
| Becky: And one more time at normal speed: |
| Loke: Nej. |
| Becky: Let's break it down from the beginning. The first word: |

| Loke: Samsung |
| {Pause} |
| Becky: Listen to the speaker say, “Yes, I have a Samsung.”, and then repeat. |

| {pause} |
| Becky: To use a different phrase, replace Samsung with HTC. |
| Loke: HTC |
| Becky: HTC |
| Loke: (slow) HTC (regular) HTC |
| Becky: Listen to the phrase again, this time with HTC |
| Loke: Ja, jeg har en HTC. |
