| John: Then comes the phrase - "Can hear the couch calling.." |
| Anne: Kan høre sofaen kalde. |
| John: You can use this phrase to indicate that you're going to spend time on your couch once you get home by stating that you can hear it calling to you, as if it were alive. Listen again- "Can hear the couch calling" is... |
| Anne: (SLOW) Kan høre sofaen kalde. (REGULAR) Kan høre sofaen kalde. |
| John: All together, it's "Finally off! Can hear the couch calling." |
| Anne: Endelig fri! Kan høre sofaen kalde. |
