newbie purchasing a bike...need germ. help

[juliananaples]

I am very much a newbie and tomorrow I will going to a women's flat to look at and probably purchase a bike from her. She speaks no English. She is a prison guard by vocation so I guess I feel a little extra pressure to get some phrases correct.

Can anyone translate the following?

"Can you show me how it folds?" (It's a folding bike)

"May I take it for a short ride?"

"Do you have the ------------ that go with it?" (the items are listed on the web page).

And if I get lost:

"I can't find your flat but can you meet me with the bike at..........."

"How mush does it cost? "(I know, I can't believe I don't know how to say this yet)

.... and any other helpful phrases that you can think of would be great.

veile danke!

Hi juliananaples,

It might be too late to help you but if you want to buy any other bikes in future, here are the translations of your phrases:

"Can you show me how it folds?"
-> "Können Sie mir zeigen, wie es sich falten lässt?"

"May I take it for a short ride?"
-> "Kann ich es kurz probe-fahren?"

"Do you have the ------------ that go with it?"
-> "Haben Sie auch die dazugehörigen ------ da?"

"I can't find your flat but can you meet me with the bike at..........."
-> "Ich finde Ihre Wohnung nicht, aber können wir uns mit dem Fahrrad ------(place) treffen?"

"How mush does it cost? "
--> "Wie viel kostet es?"

Regards,
Jenny
