Shopping Vocab in Korean Posted by on Dec 8, 2014 in Uncategorized

Do you like to go to shopping?

Many males do not like to go to shopping, but if they live by themselves just like me, they have to go to grocery shopping at least once a week.   Especially, when people go to travel in other countries, they do more shopping.  Do you want to practice how to buy something and reduce price in Korean?  I have some useful expressions, phrases, and dialogues for you.  First expression is “How much is it?/얼마예요?/eol ma ye yo.”  Second, “I am looking for _______/____(를/을) 찾으세요?/___(lul/eul) cha ja yo?”  Third, “Please, reduce the price/좀 깎아주세요/jom ggac a joo sae yo.”  Fourth, “what are you looking for?/뭘 찾으세요?/meoul cha ju sae yo? 사장님/sa jang nim means president and store owner.  손님/son nim/고객님/go gaec nim means guest both.

Please see the dialogue below and image how you do shopping.

Michael: 안녕하세요. 사장님.

Store owner: 안녕하세요. 고객님/손님 뭘 찾으세요?

Michael: 스웨터를 찾아요/su wae ter lul cha ja yo/I am looking for a sweater.

Store owner: 여기 있어요/yeo gi iy eo yo/there you are.

Michael: 얼마예요?

Store owner: 3 만원이에요/sam man won e ae yo/it is $30.

Michael: 좀 깎아주세요.  오천 원만 깎아주세요/o cheon won man ggac a ju sae

yo/please reduce $5.

Store owner: 알겠습니다.
