| POST |
| Becky: Listen again to Sanne's post. |
| Jacob: Ik mis dit nu al! Zullen we nog een weekje gaan? |
| Becky: "I miss it already! Let's go for another week, agree?" |
| Jacob: (SLOW) Ik mis dit nu al! Zullen we nog een weekje gaan? (Regular) Ik mis dit nu al! Zullen we nog een weekje gaan? |
| Becky: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "I miss it already!" |
| Jacob: Ik mis dit nu al! |
| Becky: The expression starts with the phrase… |
| Jacob: Ik mis |
| Becky: ...which literally means “I miss.” Like in English, you can say you miss someone or something by adding an object at the end. For example… |
| Jacob: Ik mis jou. |
| Becky: “I miss you.” Listen again - "I miss it already!" is... |
| Jacob: (SLOW) Ik mis dit nu al! (REGULAR) Ik mis dit nu al! |
| Becky: Then comes the phrase - "Let's go for another week, agree?" |
| Jacob: Zullen we nog een weekje gaan? |
| Becky: The expression has the word… |
| Jacob: Weekje. |
| Becky: This is a shortened version of the Dutch word… |
| Jacob: week |
| Becky: ...which means “a week” in English. Listen again - "Let's go for another week?" is... |
| Jacob: (SLOW) Zullen we nog een weekje gaan? (REGULAR) Zullen we nog een weekje gaan? |
| Becky: All together, it's "I miss it already! Let's go for another week, agree?" |
| Jacob: Ik mis dit nu al! Zullen we nog een weekje gaan? |
