- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. We are so happy to be here again. Lucas: Today we are going shopping. But not for clothes. Luna: No clothes? Okay. What are we buying then? Lucas: We are looking for a bag. A nice new bag. Luna: Oh! I need a new bag. My old one is falling apart. Lucas: That happens. Let's go into the shop. First thing to do is ask if they have it. Luna: Right. So I walk up to the clerk. What do I say? Lucas: You ask: 가방이 있어요? Luna: 가방이 있어요? Lucas: Yes. 가방이 있어요? It means 'Do you have a bag?' Simple question. Luna: Let me try again. 가방이 있어요? Lucas: Perfect. That is clear and polite. Luna: Okay. So I ask that. And they show me a black bag. Lucas: Good. Now you want to know what it is made of. Is it leather? Is it cloth? Luna: Yes. I always check the material first. Lucas: So you ask: 천재질이에요? Luna: 천재질이에요? Lucas: Yes. 천재질이에요? It means 'Is it fabric/material?' This helps you know if it is real leather or just synthetic. Luna: Oh, that is smart. Because sometimes fake leather looks real. Lucas: Exactly. So let's practice. 천재질이에요? Luna: 천재질이에요? Lucas: Very good. The pronunciation is smooth. Luna: The clerk says it is canvas. Okay. Now I like the look of it. Lucas: But is it big enough? You need to check the size. Luna: Yes. I don't want a tiny purse if I need space. Lucas: So you ask: 사이즈가 어떻게 돼요? Luna: 사이즈가 어떻게 돼요? Lucas: Yes. 사이즈가 어떻게 돼요? It means 'What is the size?' or 'How big is it?' Luna: It sounds like a long sentence. Let me break it down. Lucas: Take your time. 사이즈... 가... 어떻게... 돼요? Luna: 사이즈가 어떻게 돼요? Lucas: There you go. That is perfect. Luna: The clerk tells me it is medium size. Good. Now comes the most important part. Lucas: The most important part? Luna: Will my wallet fit inside? If my wallet doesn't fit, I can't use it. Lucas: That is a very practical question. So you ask: 지갑이 들어가요? Luna: 지갑이 들어가요? Lucas: Yes. 지갑이 들어가요? It literally means 'Does the wallet go in?' Luna: I love that phrasing. It is so visual. Lucas: It is. Let's say it together. 지갑이 들어가요? Luna: 지갑이 들어가요? Lucas: Beautiful. Now imagine you put your wallet in. It fits perfectly. Luna: It fits! Oh, this is the one. I am buying it. Lucas: Great choice. Now you need to pay. Do you have cash? Luna: No cash. I only have my card. Lucas: Okay. So you tell the clerk. 카드 결제해요? Luna: 카드 결제해요? Lucas: Yes. 카드 결제해요? It means 'Can I pay by card?' Luna: Let me try that one more time. 카드 결제해요? Lucas: Spot on. Clear and confident. Luna: I feel like I could actually buy a bag now.
