| POST |
| Dana: Listen again to Amanda's post. |
| Mirai: Kan inte sluta lyssna på Rihanna's nya låt! Älska! |
| Dana: "Can't stop listening to Rihanna's new song! Love!" |
| Mirai: (SLOW) Kan inte sluta lyssna på Rihanna's nya låt! Älska! (Regular) Kan inte sluta lyssna på Rihanna's nya låt! Älska! |
| Dana: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Can't stop...." |
| Mirai: Kan inte sluta... |
| Dana: This is a common expression on social media. It just means that the person cannot stop doing something. For example, “I can't stop eating chocolate” or “I can't stop listening to this song.” Listen again, "can't stop..." is... |
| Mirai: (SLOW) Kan inte sluta... (REGULAR) Kan inte sluta... |
| Dana: Then comes the phrase - "Love!" |
| Mirai: Älska! |
| Dana: It’s used to express your love or strong like for something. It's very similar to Facebook's like button. Instead of a long sentence explaining that you like or love something on social media, you just write… |
| Mirai: Älska! |
| Dana: ...for short. Listen again. "Love!" is... |
| Mirai: (SLOW) Älska! (REGULAR) Älska! |
| Dana: All together, it's "Can't stop listening to Rihanna's new song! Love!" |
| Mirai: Kan inte sluta lyssna på Rihanna's nya låt! Älska! |
