- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn Spanish with Fexingo. I was just thinking about that time we went shopping for clothes in Spanish class. Luna: Oh, I remember that! We learned how to say 'I like this shirt' and stuff, but I always get stuck when I need a different size. Lucas: Exactly, and that's perfect for today. Let's teach everyone how to handle a clothing store in Spanish. Luna: Great, because I always end up with something too small or too big. Let's start with asking for a bigger size. Lucas: So, if you need a bigger size, you say: ¿Tiene una talla más grande? It means 'Do you have a bigger size?' Luna: ¿Tiene una talla más grande? That's a mouthful, but I'll try. ¿Tiene una talla más grande? Lucas: Perfect. You said it exactly right. Now, what if you try it on and it's too small? You can say: Es demasiado pequeño. 'It's too small.' Luna: Es demasiado pequeño. So if I put on a shirt and it's tight, I say that. But what if it's too big? Is it 'Es demasiado grande'? Lucas: You're catching on. Es demasiado grande for 'It's too big.' You're a natural. Luna: So I can mix and match. But I also want to try things on. How do I ask to try it on? Lucas: You say: ¿Puedo probármelo? 'Can I try it on?' It's super useful. Luna: ¿Puedo probármelo? That's a bit of a tongue twister. Let me say it slowly: ¿Puedo probármelo? Did I say it right? Lucas: Perfect, Luna. You've got it. Now, when you try it on and it fits nicely, you can say: Me queda bien. 'It fits me well.' Luna: Me queda bien. That sounds nice. So if I love it, I say 'Me queda bien' and then I buy it. How do I say 'I'll take it'? Lucas: You can say: Voy a comprarlo. 'I'll buy it.' Or simply 'Lo compro.' Luna: Voy a comprarlo. That's easy to remember. So let's imagine I'm in a store. I see a nice jacket. I ask: ¿Tiene una talla más grande? Lucas: And the shopkeeper says: Sí, aquí tiene. Then you go to the fitting room, try it on, and say: Me queda bien. Luna: Then I say: Voy a comprarlo. Wait, but what if it's too small? I say: Es demasiado pequeño. Lucas: Exactly. You've got the whole conversation down. Let's do a quick recap. Repeat after me: ¿Tiene una talla más grande? Luna: ¿Tiene una talla más grande? Lucas: Es demasiado pequeño. Luna: Es demasiado pequeño. Lucas: ¿Puedo probármelo? Luna: ¿Puedo probármelo? Lucas: Me queda bien. Luna: Me queda bien. Lucas: Voy a comprarlo. Luna: Voy a comprarlo. Lucas: Great job. Now, a quick honest thing.
