Lesson focus |
|---|
| In this lesson, we will introduce you to some more useful phrases for hotels and the like. |
| The first phrase is, "What time is the check out?" |
| In Dutch, this is Hoe laat is het uitchecken? |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Hoe laat is het uit-chec-ken? Hoe laat is het uitchecken? |
| Let's have a look at the components of this phrase. Hoe laat means, "at what time." Hoe laat. |
| Then we have is and het, which in Dutch means, "is" and "it." |
| The last word is uitchecken, which is, "to check out." |
| Let's break down this verb by syllable and see it one more time. Uit-chec-ken. Uitchecken. So all together the phrase is, Hoe laat is het uitchecken? ("What time is the check out?") |
| Let's look at some words you might need while staying in a hotel because there will be times when you need more of certain things. |
| Here are a few more words that might come in handy. |
| "Towel" - handdoek |
| "Toothbrush" - tandenborstel |
| "Toothpaste" - tandpasta |
| "Shampoo" - shampoo |
| "Soap" - zeep |
| Let's try to ask, "Can I have some soap?" This is, Mag ik wat zeep hebben? |
| Let's break it down and see it one more time: Mag ik wat zeep heb-ben? |
| Mag ik wat zeep hebben? |
| You are already familiar with the first two words, mag ik ("can I" or "may I"). Mag ik. |
| Next, you have wat zeep, which is, "some soap." |
| Let's break it down and hear it once again: Wat zeep. |
| Wat zeep. |
| The last word in our phrase is hebben, which stands for, "to have." |
| Heb-ben. |
| Hebben. |
| So the whole phrase is, Mag ik wat zeep hebben? |
| Mag ik wat zeep hebben? |
| This literally means, "Can I have some soap?" |
Outro |
| Okay, to close out this lesson, we'd like you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for saying it aloud. You have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so good luck, that also means “good luck” in Dutch. |
| "What time is the check out?" - Hoe laat is het uitchecken? |
