Für die Nachtfahrt nach Wien haben wir ein Schlafabteil gebucht.
[ˈfyːɐ̯ ˈdiː ˈnaxtˌfaːɐ̯t ˈnaːx ˈviːn ˈhaːbn̩ ˈviːɐ̯ ˈaɪ̯n ˈʃlaːfˌaptaɪ̯l ɡəˈbuːxt.]
We booked a sleeper compartment for the night journey to Vienna.
Im Schlafabteil konnte ich leider kaum schlafen.
[ˈɪm ˈʃlaːfˌaptaɪ̯l ˈkɔntə ˈɪç ˈlaɪ̯dɐ ˈkaʊ̯m ˈʃlaːfn̩.]
Unfortunately, I could hardly sleep in the sleeper compartment.
Sind die Schlafabteile in diesem Zug noch frei?
[ˈzɪnt ˈdiː ˈʃlaːfʔapˌtaɪ̯lə ˈɪn ˈdiːzəm ˈtsuːk ˈnɔx ˈfraɪ̯?]
Are the sleeper compartments on this train still available?
