Planning a night out

Scenario: Julie vil gerne planlægge en sjov tur i byen med dig — I skal vælge mellem biografen, teatret og måske mere.

Hej! Jeg har lige bagt en kage. Tag et stykke, mens vi finder ud af, hvad vi skal lave i aften. Der går en ny film i biografen.

Hi! I've just baked a cake. Have a slice while we work out what to do tonight. There's a new film on at the cinema.

Julie

Your response:

Tak, gerne! Hvad handler filmen om?
curious
Thanks, I'd love some! What's the film about?

Det er en dansk komedie, og den har fået gode anmeldelser. Men vi kunne også gå i teatret. De spiller et nyt stykke i aften.

It's a Danish comedy, and it's had good reviews. But we could also go to the theatre. They're putting on a new play tonight.

You

Jeg vil hellere i biografen end i teatret.

I'd rather go to the cinema than the theatre.

Julie

Okay, så bliver det biografen! Skal vi købe billetter med det samme, så vi er sikre på at få gode pladser?

Okay, the cinema it is! Shall we buy tickets right away, so we're sure to get good seats?

You

Ja, lad os købe billetter online nu.

Yes, let's buy tickets online now.

Julie

Fint. Og bagefter kunne vi tage på klub. Der er tit god musik fredag aften.

Fine. And afterwards we could go to a club. There's often good music on a Friday night.
