Da: "Lars, jeg har en ny blanding, som jeg har arbejdet på.

Da: Jeg vil gerne prøve hvad som helst, der kan minde mig om min barndom."
En: I'd like to try anything that can remind me of my childhood."

Da: Ingrid skænkede en kop op.
En: Ingrid poured a cup.

Da: Da Lars tog en tår, stoppede han.
En: When Lars took a sip, he paused.
