Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
In this lesson we’ll introduce you to a crucial phrase for you travelers who are interested in learning more about the tourist attractions you’re going to visit. Learning about the history and the cultural significance of places you visit can be just as rewarding as seeing them. So now we’ll cover “Do you have a guide in English?”.
GRAMMAR POINT
In Danish, “Do you have a guide in English?” is:
Har I en guide på engelsk?
Let’s break it down:
Har I en guide på engelsk?
Once more:
Har I en guide på engelsk?
The first words, har I, are translated as “do you have”. Har is a form of the verb “to have” and I is the word for “you”
(slow) Har I.
Har I.
Next we have en guide which means “a guide”.
(slow) En guide.
En guide.
This is followed by the particle på which means “in”.
(slow) På.
På.
And last we have engelsk, which means “English”.
(slow) Engelsk.
Engelsk.
All together, we have:
(slow) Har I en guide på engelsk?
Har I en guide på engelsk?
This sentence refers to a pamphlet at the entrance of the museum.
To ask for a guide in a different language, you can just replace the word for “English” with the word for any other language, and it works just fine. Let’s try with “French”
“Do you have a guide in French?” is
Har I en guide på fransk?
(slow) Har I en guide på fransk?
The only thing that changes is the language you are looking for. In this case it’s fransk.
(slow) Fransk.
Fransk.
Now let’s try with a German guide! In Danish German will be tysk.
(slow) Tysk.
Tysk.
“Do you have a guide in German?” is
Har I en guide på tysk?
(slow) Har I en guide på tysk?
Har I en guide på tysk?
