| INTRODUCTION |
| Engla: Hej allihopa! I’m Engla. |
| Gabriella: Hi everyone, I’m Gabriella. Welcome back to SwedishPod101.com. This is Lower Beginner, Season 1, Lesson 5 - Make Sure You’ve Packed Everything For Your Swedish Trip! In this lesson, you’ll learn more about expressing ownership. |
| Engla: Yes, and the conversation takes place at the Olsson family’s home. |
| Gabriella: The conversation is between Anna and her father Hans, and they're using informal Swedish because they're family. |
| DIALOGUE |
| Hans: Anna! Vi måste åka nu! Är du klar? |
| Anna: Ja, jag måste bara hämta min väska. |
| Hans: Har du packat ner dina gummistövlar? |
| Anna: Ja, jag har packat ner mina gummistövlar. |
| Hans: Bra! Har du tagit dina badkläder? |
| Anna: Ja, pappa! Jag har tagit mina badkläder. |
| -With English Translation- |
| Hans: Anna! Vi måste åka nu! Är du klar? |
| Gabriella: Anna! We've got to go now! Are you ready? |
| Anna: Ja, jag måste bara hämta min väska. |
| Gabriella: Yes, I just have to get my bag. |
| Hans: Har du packat ner dina gummistövlar? |
| Gabriella: Have you packed your rain boots? |
| Anna: Ja, jag har packat ner mina gummistövlar. |
| Gabriella: Yes, I've packed my rain boots. |
| Hans: Bra! Har du tagit dina badkläder? |
| Gabriella: Great! Have you taken your swimwear? |
| Anna: Ja, pappa! Jag har tagit mina badkläder. |
| Gabriella: Yes, Dad! I've taken my swimwear. |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Gabriella: Engla, are school trips a common school activity for Swedish children and young people? |
| Engla: Of course it varies from class to class, but it’s not unusual for students to go once in the third, sixth, and ninth grades. |
| Gabriella: Is there any special reason for going at those times? |
| Engla: Well, these are usually the last years before classes split up into other classes, or before the students go to high school. |
| Gabriella: I see. And how are these trips sponsored? |
| Engla: By Swedish law, the schools themselves are not allowed to charge the parents of the students any higher fees for class trips, but parents are allowed to make donations. |
| Gabriella: So parents pay for the students' school trips? |
| Engla: That probably happens sometimes, but parents and students usually try to arrange different activities through which the students can earn money for their class trip. |
| Gabriella: What kinds of activities? |
| Engla: It could be things like selling raffle tickets, arranging discos at the school, or distributing advertisements. |
| Gabriella: And where do they go? |
| Engla: That also depends on how much money they managed to raise, and how generous the parents are. Some classes will only go somewhere close and only spend a night, while others might be able to go abroad. |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Gabriella: Let’s take a closer look at the usage of some of the words and phrases from this lesson. The first phrases we’ll talk about are how to say “to pack” and “to unpack” in Swedish. |
| Engla: In English you actually have two different words, but in Swedish, we instead use an adverb after the verb att packa to indicate if we’re talking about “to pack” or “to unpack.” |
| Gabriella: And what adverbs do we use? |
| Engla: To say “to pack,” we add the adverb ner, which means "down," and we say att packa ner. |
| Gabriella: What about the verb “to unpack”? |
| Engla: Then we use the adverb upp, meaning "up," and say att packa upp. |
| Gabriella: Ok, now let’s move on to the next word. |
| Engla: Next we have the word badkläder meaning “swimwear.” |
| Gabriella: Is this a general word that can be used to refer to swimwear for both men and women? |
| Engla: It is. Badkläder can refer to women's swimwear such as bikini, which means "bikini," or baddräkt, meaning "swimsuit." |
| Gabriella: And how about “swimming trunks”? |
| Engla: It can also be used to refer to badbyxor, or "swimming trunks" that are most often are worn by men. |
| Gabriella: Great! What’s next? |
| Engla: The final word we’ll have a look at is gummistövel. |
| Gabriella: Meaning "rain boots," or “wellies” for our British listeners. |
| Engla: That’s right! |
| Gabriella: But since rain boots usually come in pairs, maybe you could tell us the plural form of it. |
| Engla: Sure! Gummistövlar. |
| Gabriella: I’ve heard that the Swedish word literally translates to “rubber boots.” Is that right? |
| Engla: Yes, it is. “Rubber” is gummi in Swedish, and “boots” is stövlar. So that makes gummistövlar. |
| Gabriella: Okay, now onto the grammar. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Gabriella: In this lesson, you’ll learn about how to express ownership. |
| Engla: That’s right! In previous lessons, we've learned how to use the personal pronouns min and mitt meaning “my” and din and ditt meaning “your.” |
| Gabriella: So what’s left to learn? |
| Engla: Well, in this lesson, we’ll learn how to express ownership when the noun we're referring to is in its plural form. |
| Gabriella: And how do we do that? |
| Engla: Well, we have to use the plural version of the pronuns, which are dina for "your" and mina for "my." |
| Gabriella: Ah! Now I understand. And these would be used in sentences similar to the ones that appeared in this lesson’s dialog, right? |
| Engla: Exactly! |
| Gabriella: For example, Hans asked, “Have you taken your swimwear?” |
| Engla: That was Har du tagit dina badkläder. |
| Gabriella: Maybe we should let our listeners practice that one. |
| Engla: Sounds like a good idea! Listeners, please repeat after me. Har du tagit dina badkläder. |
| Gabriella: In this lesson’s dialog, the Swedish pronoun for “my” was also used by Anna when she said, “Yes, I’ve packed my rain boots.” |
| Engla: Yes, Anna said, Ja, jag har packat ner mina gummistövlar. Listeners, please repeat after me! Ja, jag har packat ner mina gummistövlar. |
| Gabriella: Great! So how do we use these pronouns in a sentence to express ownership? |
| Engla: We’ll use the same sentence structures as we did in the previous lessons. |
| Gabriella: Which is “It’s my/your + noun”? |
| Engla: Yes, we’ll use the sentence structure Det är dina/mina + [noun], but this time we need to have the nouns in their indefinite plural form. |
| Gabriella: Okay. How would you say, “They're my books,” then? |
| Engla: The pronoun we have to use is mina, and the indefinite plural form of bok is böcker. “They're my books,” in Swedish, is therefore Det är mina böcker. |
| Gabriella: Listeners, please repeat after Engla. |
| Engla: Det är mina böcker. |
| Gabriella: And what would it sound like if instead we wanted to say “They're your books”? |
| Engla: We use the same noun, that is böcker, but this time we need to use the pronoun dina, for "your," and say Det är dina böcker. Listeners please repeat after me! Det är dina böcker. |
| Gabriella: Now let’s try with another noun. How would you say “They're my pencil cases”? |
| Engla: We need to use the pronoun mina and the indefinite plural form of pennskrin, which is pennskrin. So we say Det är mina pennskrin. |
| Gabriella: Listeners, please repeat after Engla! |
| Engla: “Det är mina pennskrin”. |
| Gabriella: Okay, let’s use the same noun but change the pronoun to “your” to say “They're your pencil cases." |
| Engla: “Your” in Swedish is dina, when referring to a noun in its plural form, so we would say Det är dina pennskrin. Listeners, please repeat after me! Det är dina pennskrin. |
| MARKETING PIECE |
| Engla: Listeners, do you know the powerful secret behind rapid progress? |
