Manual Preaching

Sometimes we'd like to exchange things. Here's how you can ask for that. We'll use the same triggers as before and still practice with "Ich hätte gerne" but add the word "ander-" (=other) into the pattern. It works like any other adjective (e.g. klein or neu) before. Also, the text in [brackets] is not spoken out. It's only there to help you understand the grammar. You'll notice that the [e] at the end of "bringe" is in brackets. When speaking, that final [e] at the end of the "ich" form is often left out. When writing, you always write the [e].

Pattern
A: Entschuldigung?
B: Ja, bitte?
A: Ich hätte gerne article- + ander- + trigger.
B: Kein Problem. Bring ich sofort.

If the text Speechnotes transcribed is different by a lot from the transcription below, don't worry about it. You will do this a couple more times and you will see an improvement. If Speechnotes doesn't understand you, try to speak slowly, more articulated and use an external microphone e.g. a headset.
