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.
How the conversation starts
One way it can go. Play the conversation above to choose your own replies and see where they take it.
Maja
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?
You
Skal vi rydde op først, så der er plads?
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?
