| Anne: (SLOW) På shoppetur med hende her inden hun rejser. Der skal shoppes amok! (REGULAR) På shoppetur med hende her inden hun rejser. Der skal shoppes amok! |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "On a shopping spree with this one before she leaves." |
| Anne: På shoppetur med hende her inden hun rejser. |
| John: This phrase is used when on a shopping spree with a female who you want to say is very important or dear to you but whose name you don't want to mention. |
| Anne: Inden hun rejser |
| John: literally means "before she leaves." Listen again- "On a shopping spree with this one before she leaves" is... |
| Anne: (SLOW) På shoppetur med hende her inden hun rejser. (REGULAR) På shoppetur med hende her inden hun rejser. |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "There shall be crazy shopping!" |
| Anne: Der skal shoppes amok! |
| John: This phrase is used to emphasize that you're going on a crazy shopping spree and will probably come home with several bags containing new purchases. The phrase often appears in the imperative form during big sales. Listen again- "There shall be crazy shopping" is... |
| Anne: (SLOW) Der skal shoppes amok! (REGULAR) Der skal shoppes amok! |
| John: All together, it's "On a shopping spree with this one before she leaves. There shall be crazy shopping!" |
| Anne: På shoppetur med hende her inden hun rejser. Der skal shoppes amok! |
