Now is the time to learn some simple commonly used sentences.
Today, let’s start with useful expressions when you are shopping.
1. Asking about the price.
얼마에요? (Eol ma e yo?) = How much is it?
2. To bargain the price
깎아주세요. (Kkak a ju se yo) = Please cut the price.
3. Ask whether there’s any discount.
할인 안되요? (Hal in an doe yo?) = Is there any discount?
Tip!
Normally you can get some discount at the shops except for department stores.
However, if you’re a foreigner and you can’t speak Korean, than you might have to pay more then usual at some of the boutique stores that take advantage of it.
Therefore, it’s always helpful to ask the clerks in the shop if there’s any discount.
