How to Say ‘Then I'll take the green one.’ in German

Dann nehme ich das grüne.

dan NAY-muh ikh dahs GROO-neh

[dan NAY-muh ikh dahs GROO-neh]

💬 Usage Tip: After dann, the verb jumps ahead of ich: dann nehme ich, not dann ich nehme. The same thing happens after other opening words, like heute kaufe ich "today I'm buying".
