Planning a weekend of cleaning and furnishing

Scenario: Du er i din nye lejlighed med Maja, og I planlægger en stor rengørings- og møbeldag lørdag.

Okay, lørdag gør vi rent og sætter møblerne på plads. Hvad starter vi med?

Okay, on Saturday we’ll clean and put the furniture in place. What do we start with?

Maja

Your response:

Skal vi rydde op først, så der er plads?
curious
Should we tidy up first so there’s space?

You

Should we tidy up first so there’s space?

Maja

God idé. Vi rydder op i stuen og køkkenet først. Har du en plan for reolen?

Good idea. We’ll tidy up in the living room and kitchen first. Do you have a plan for the shelf/bookcase?

You

Ja, reolen skal stå ved væggen ved vinduet.

Yes, the shelf should stand by the wall near the window.

Maja

Fint, det gør vi. Har du et tæppe? Det kan vi rulle ud, når vi har støvsuget.

Fine, let's do that. Do you have a rug? We can roll it out once we've vacuumed.

You

Ja, tæppet ligger i soveværelset. Vi kan tage det senere.

Yes, the rug is in the bedroom. We can get it later.

Maja

Fint. Hvad med gardinerne i stuen? Skal vi også hænge dem op?

Great. What about the curtains in the living room? Should we hang them up too?
