- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. Episode 172, can you believe it? Luna: I know, right? It's flying by. And I feel like I can actually say stuff in Korean now. Lucas: That's exactly the goal. And speaking of real situations—today we're tackling something I know you love: visiting a museum. Luna: Oh, I do! But last time I tried to buy a ticket in Korea, I just pointed and said 'one.' I need more. Lucas: Well, you're in luck. Today we're learning how to buy tickets at a museum in Korean. All the phrases you'll actually use at the counter. Luna: Perfect. And hey—if this episode helps you the way it's helped me, maybe consider supporting the show? Even a small coffee helps. That's buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Lucas: Yeah, it really keeps us going ad-free. So let's jump in. First phrase: '티켓 주세요.' Luna: 티켓 주세요. Lucas: Good. '티켓' is ticket, '주세요' means please give me. So it's 'ticket, please.' Luna: Okay, 티켓 주세요. Simple enough. Lucas: Now, if you want to ask how much the entrance fee is, you say: '입장료 얼마예요?' Luna: 입장료 얼마예요? That's a mouthful. Lucas: Let's break it down. '입장료' is entrance fee. '얼마예요?' means 'how much is it?' So literally 'entrance fee how much?' Luna: 입장료, 얼마예요. Got it. Lucas: Repeat after me: 입장료 얼마예요? Luna: 입장료 얼마예요? Lucas: Great. Now, sometimes there are discounts—students, seniors, groups. To ask about that, say: '할인 있어요?' Luna: 할인 있어요? '할인' is discount? Lucas: Exactly. '할인' is discount, '있어요?' means 'is there?' So 'is there a discount?' Luna: 할인 있어요? Good to know. Lucas: Now let's put it all together. At the counter, you might say: '성인 두 장 주세요.' That means 'two adult tickets, please.' Luna: 성인 두 장 주세요. So '성인' is adult, '두' is two, '장' is the counter for tickets. Lucas: You got it. '성인 두 장 주세요.' Luna: 성인 두 장 주세요. Lucas: And finally, if you need to ask if they only take cash, say: '현금만 돼요?' Luna: 현금만 돼요? '현금' is cash, '만' means only, '돼요?' means 'is it possible?' Lucas: Perfect. '현금만 돼요?' Luna: 현금만 돼요? Lucas: Let's do a quick scene. Imagine you're at the museum ticket counter. You walk up and say: '안녕하세요, 입장료 얼마예요?' Luna: 안녕하세요, 입장료 얼마예요? Lucas: The clerk says '성인은 오천 원입니다.' So you say: '성인 두 장 주세요.' Luna: 성인 두 장 주세요. Lucas: Then you ask: '할인 있어요?' Luna: 할인 있어요? Lucas: And if you're not sure about payment: '현금만 돼요?' Luna: 현금만 돼요? Great. I feel ready for my next museum visit. Lucas: You should! Let's review all five phrases one more time. First: 티켓 주세요. Luna: 티켓 주세요. Lucas: 입장료 얼마예요? Luna: 입장료 얼마예요? Lucas: 할인 있어요? Luna: 할인 있어요? Lucas: 성인 두 장 주세요. Luna: 성인 두 장 주세요. Lucas: 현금만 돼요? Luna: 현금만 돼요? Lucas: Excellent work today. Practice these and you'll breeze through any museum ticket line. Thanks for learning with Fexingo.
