- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. It is so good to be here again. Lucas: We are going to talk about shopping today. Specifically, trying on clothes. Luna: Oh, I love that. I always feel nervous when I try things on. Lucas: It can be tricky. But we have the right words to help you. Luna: Like what? Like asking for a different size? Lucas: Exactly. Today we focus on describing the fit. We use five key words. Luna: Okay. Let's start with the first one. What is it? Lucas: The first word means 'big' or 'large'. In polite form, it is 커요. Luna: 커요. Okay. That sounds simple enough. Lucas: Let's say it slowly. 커요.... 커요. Luna: 커요. Big. Large. Got it. Lucas: Now, the opposite. Small. The word is 작아요. Luna: 작아요. Okay. Small. Like a small shirt. Lucas: Correct. Say it with me. 작아요.... 작아요. Luna: 작아요. Small. That works. Lucas: Great job. Now, let's move to length. Long is 길어요. Luna: 길어요. Long. Like a long coat? Lucas: Yes. A long coat is 길어요. Repeat after me. 길어요.... 길어요. Luna: 길어요. Long. Okay. I think I got the hang of this pattern. Lucas: You are doing well. The last adjective for length is short. It is 짧아요. Luna: 짧아요. Short. Like short sleeves? Lucas: Perfect example. Let's practice. 짧아요.... 짧아요. Luna: 짧아요. Short. This is really easy to remember. Lucas: It is. Because they all end in 요. It makes them polite and friendly. Luna: Right. So if I try on a dress and it is too big, I can say... Lucas: You can say it is 커요. Or if it is too tight, you say 작아요. Luna: Or if the skirt is too long, you say 길어요. And if it is too short, 짧아요. Lucas: Exactly. You can combine them. For example, the pants are long but narrow. Luna: Wait, we didn't learn narrow. But we can just say the pants are long. Lucas: True. Keep it simple. Just use the words we know. Let's add one more word. Luna: One more? Oh, please. I am loving this. Lucas: It is 예뻐요. It means pretty or beautiful. Luna: 예뻐요. Pretty. So I can tell the salesperson it looks pretty. Lucas: Yes. Or if you are buying a gift, you can say it is pretty. Luna: Let's say it together. 예뻐요.... 예뻐요. Lucas: There you go. Beautiful pronunciation. Luna: Thanks. These five words cover so much ground. Lucas: They do. 커요, 작아요, 길어요, 짧아요, and 예뻐요. Luna: Let's review them one last time. 커요. Lucas: 커요. Large. Luna: 작아요.
