Transcript
- Lucas: Hey there, welcome back to Learn Telugu with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. It is so good to be back with you. Lucas: We have been doing well with market bargaining in the last few episodes. Luna: Yes, we learned how to ask for cheaper prices at the general market. Lucas: But today we are going somewhere slightly different. We are going to a clothing store. Luna: Oh, I love that. I always get confused when I try on clothes. Lucas: It happens to everyone. The most important thing is asking for the right size. Luna: So, how do we ask what size something is? Lucas: Let us start with this phrase: మీకు ఎంత సైజు ఉంది? Luna: Meeku entha size undi? What does it mean? Lucas: It means: What size do you have? Or literally, what size is with you? Luna: That is very direct. I like it. Lucas: Let me say it slowly for you: మీకు ఎంత సైజు ఉంది? Luna: Mee-ku en-tha size un-di. Lucas: Perfect. Now let us say it normally: మీకు ఎంత సైజు ఉంది? Luna: Mee-ku en-tha size un-di. Lucas: Great. Now, imagine you are looking at a shirt. You want a large size. Luna: Do we use the English word 'Large'? Lucas: Yes, in India, people often use the English words for sizes. So, Large is Large. Luna: Okay. So how do I ask if they have a large size? Lucas: We use this phrase: లార్జ్ సైజు ఉందా? Luna: Large size un-da? Is that right? Lucas: Exactly. It means: Is there a large size? Luna: Let me try: లార్జ్ సైజు ఉందా? Lucas: Very good pronunciation. Let us say it again together: లార్జ్ సైజు ఉందా? Luna: Large size un-da. Lucas: Nice. And what if you need a small size instead? Luna: I would just swap the word. Small size? Lucas: You got it. The phrase is: స్మాల్ సైజు ఉందా? Luna: Small size un-da. That is so easy. Lucas: It is because the structure stays the same. You just change the size word. Luna: Okay, so I ask: స్మాల్ సైజు ఉందా? Lucas: Yes. And the shopkeeper says yes. But now you need to try it on. Luna: How do I ask where the changing room is? Lucas: We can keep it simple. Ask if you can try it on here. Luna: Here? In the store? Lucas: Yes. The phrase is: మీదే ట్రై చేసుకోవచ్చా? Luna: Me-de try che su ko vach a? Let me repeat that. Lucas: Take your time. Me-de try che su ko vach a? Luna: Me-de try che su ko vach a? Lucas: Wonderful. It means: Can I try it on here? Luna: This is really helpful. I feel much more confident about shopping. Lucas: It is all about these small, useful phrases. Luna: Wait, before we continue, if Fexingo has been helping you make actual progress with Telugu...

Now, back to the shop. Luna: Okay, I put on the shirt. How do I tell them I like it? Lucas: You can say: ఇది నాకు బాగుంది. Luna: Idi naaku ba gun di? What does that mean? Lucas: It means: This looks good to me. Or simply, I like this one. Luna: That is perfect for closing the deal. Lucas: Let us practice it slowly: ఇది నాకు బాగుంది. Luna: I-di naa-ku ba gun di. Lucas: Good. Now normally: ఇది నాకు బాగుంది. Luna: Idi naa-ku ba gun di. Lucas: Excellent. Let us review what we learned today. Luna: First, we asked for the size: మీకు ఎంత సైజు ఉంది? Lucas: Then we asked for specific sizes like Large or Small. Luna: And we asked to try it on: మీదే ట్రై చేసుకోవచ్చా? Lucas: Finally, we said we liked it: ఇది నాకు బాగుంది. Luna: This was such a practical episode. Thank you, Lucas. Lucas: You are welcome, Luna. Practice these phrases until we meet again.
