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?
