Sikke et forfærdeligt vejr, vi har i dag.
What terrible weather we're having today.
You
Ja, det er helt utroligt. Jeg glemte min paraply.
Yes, it's unbelievable. I forgot my umbrella.
Fremmed
Åh nej, det var uheldigt. Heldigvis står vi i læ her.
Oh no, that was unlucky. Luckily we're under cover here.
You
Ja, det er godt. Ved du, hvornår bussen kommer?
Yes, that's good. Do you know when the bus is coming?
Fremmed
Den skulle komme lige om lidt. Se, der kommer den vist!
It should be here any minute. Look, I think that's it coming now!

Super! Tak for snakken.
Great! Thanks for the chat.

I lige måde. Kom godt hjem.
You too. Get home safely.
