| POST |
| Dana: Listen again to Anders's post. |
| Mirai: Fan vilken seg dag! Uttråkad, några tips? |
| Dana: "Damn what a slow day! Bored, any tips?" |
| Mirai: (SLOW) Fan vilken seg dag! Uttråkad, några tips? (Regular) Fan vilken seg dag! Uttråkad, några tips? |
| Dana: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Damn, what a slow day!" |
| Mirai: Fan, vilken seg dag! |
| Dana: A common phrase used in Sweden when people feel like time is passing slowly. For example… |
| Mirai: Fan, vilken seg arbetsdag! |
| Dana: “Damn, what a slow workday!” It can also be used when describing people. For example... |
| Mirai: Erik, kan du sluta vara så seg? |
| Dana: “Erik, can you stop being so slow?” Listen to the expression again. "Damn, what a slow day!" is... |
| Mirai: (SLOW) Fan, vilken seg dag! (REGULAR) Fan, vilken seg dag! |
| Dana: Then comes the phrase "bored, any tips?" |
| Mirai: Uttråkad, några tips? |
| Dana: On social media, we tend to express ourselves in shorter phrases than we would when speaking. |
| Mirai: Uttråkad, några tips? is a good example. |
| Dana: Right, and you can change it to any topic you would like to get tips or advice about. For example... |
| Mirai: Hungrig, några tips? |
| Dana: “Hungry, any tips?” Listen to the expression again. "Bored, any tips?" is... |
| Mirai: (SLOW) Uttråkad, några tips? (REGULAR) Uttråkad, några tips? |
| Dana: All together, it's "Damn, what a slow day! Bored, any tips?" |
| Mirai: Fan vilken seg dag! Uttråkad, några tips? |
