Sofie
Puha, jeg er sulten. Jeg fik kun en lille frokost i dag. Hvad skal vi have til aftensmad?
Whew, I’m hungry. I only had a small lunch today. What should we have for dinner?
You
Jeg er også sulten. Måske noget varmt og hurtigt?
I’m hungry too. Maybe something warm and quick?
Sofie
Noget hurtigt ville være godt. Skal vi koge, stege eller grille noget?
Something quick would be good. Should we boil, fry or grill something?
You
Lad os stege noget. Det går hurtigt.
Let’s fry something. That’s quick.
Sofie
Okay. Lad mig kigge i køleskabet. Vi har kylling og nogle grøntsager.
Okay. Let me look in the fridge. We have chicken and some vegetables.
You
Kylling lyder godt. Skal vi stege den på panden?
Chicken sounds good. Should we fry it in a pan?
Sofie
Fint. Skal vi have kartofler eller ris til?
Great. Should we have potatoes or rice with it?
