Hej Kasper! Det går godt. Vi skal altså snart ses!
Hi Kasper! I'm good. We really must get together soon!
Kasper
Ja! Men det siger vi hver gang, og så bliver det aldrig til noget. Lad os finde en dag nu. Hvornår passer det dig?
Yes! But we say that every time, and then it never happens. Let's find a day right now. When suits you?
You
Hvad med onsdag efter arbejde?
How about Wednesday after work?

Onsdag kan jeg desværre ikke – der spiller jeg fodbold. Men torsdag er jeg fri.

Torsdag passer mig fint.
Thursday suits me fine.

Super! Hvor skal vi mødes?
