- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Hi everyone! Today we're going shoe shopping. Lucas: That's right. We've talked about clothes before. Now we talk about shoes. Luna: Oh, I love shoes. But I always forget the words in Korean. Lucas: Don't worry. We will go slow. One phrase at a time. Luna: Okay. Let's start. How do I ask if they have shoes? Lucas: Good question. The first phrase is: 신발이 있어요? Luna: 신발이 있어요? What does that mean? Lucas: It means 'Do you have shoes?' or 'Are there shoes?' Luna: Got it. So I walk in and say: 신발이 있어요? Lucas: Exactly. You say it clearly. 신발이 있어요? Luna: 신발이 있어요? Okay. That sounds polite. Lucas: Yes. It is very common. Let's say it again together. Luna: 신발이 있어요? 신발이 있어요? Lucas: Perfect. Now, imagine you see a pair you like. What next? Luna: I want to try them on. How do I ask that? Lucas: Great instinct. The phrase is: 입어봐도 돼요? Luna: 입어봐도 돼요? Does that mean 'Can I wear it?' Lucas: Almost. It means 'Is it okay if I try it on?' Luna: Ah, yes. Trying it on. 입어봐도 돼요? Lucas: Repeat it slowly. 입. 어. 봐. 도. 돼. 요? Luna: 입어봐도 돼요? 입어봐도 돼요? Lucas: Very good. It is a soft, polite way to ask permission. Luna: I feel more confident already. Thanks, Lucas. Lucas: You're welcome. But wait. What if the size is wrong? Luna: Oh no. I hate when the size is wrong. Lucas: Don't panic. We have a phrase for that too. Luna: Please tell me. I need this one. Lucas: The phrase is: 다른 사이즈가 있어요? Luna: 다른 사이즈가 있어요? Is that 'Do you have another size?' Lucas: Yes. Exactly. 다른 사이즈가 있어요? Luna: 다른 사이즈가 있어요? 다른 사이즈가 있어요? Lucas: Spot on. Size is important. Different sizes are key. Luna: Right. So I find the right size. Then what? Lucas: Then you check the price. How much is it? Luna: How do I ask the price in Korean? Lucas: Simple. Just say: 얼마예요? Luna: 얼마예요? That just means 'How much?' Lucas: Yes. It works for everything. Clothes, food, shoes. Luna: 얼마예요? 얼마다요? Wait, which one is it? Lucas: Use 얼마예요? for polite speech. It is safe and standard. Luna: Okay. 얼마예요? Alright. I got it. Lucas: Good. Last step. You buy the shoes. How do you pay? Luna: I use my card. In Korea, cards are everywhere. Lucas: True. Cash is rare now. So you say: 카드 결제해요? Luna: 카드 결제해요? Is that 'Card payment?' Lucas: Yes. Or 'Can I pay by card?' Luna: 카드 결제해요? 카드 결제해요? Lucas: Excellent. You sound like a local shopper. Luna: Really? I feel so proud right now. Lucas: You should be. These five phrases cover the whole trip. Luna: Let's review them quickly. First one? Lucas: Ask if they have shoes. 신발이 있어요? Luna: 신발이 있어요? Next. Ask to try them on. Lucas: 입어봐도 돼요? 입어봐도 돼요? Luna: Next. Ask for another size. 다른 사이즈가 있어요? Lucas: 다른 사이즈가 있어요? Correct. Next. Ask the price. Luna: 얼마예요? Yes. And finally. Pay by card. Lucas: 카드 결제해요? Perfect. All five down.
