- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Hey Lucas, I'm going shopping for clothes this weekend, and I want to be able to try things on in Korean. Lucas: Perfect timing! Today we're going to learn some essential phrases for the clothing store. Let's start with the most important one: asking to try something on. Luna: Yes, please! How do I say 'May I try this on?' Lucas: You say '이거 입어 봐도 돼요?' Hear it once more: 이거 입어 봐도 돼요? Luna: 이거 입어 봐도 돼요? That's a mouthful! Let me try again: 이거 입어 봐도 돼요? Lucas: Almost perfect. Try to link the words smoothly: 이거 입어 봐도 돼요? You can also shorten it to '이거 입어 봐도 돼?' in casual settings, but today we'll keep it polite. Luna: Good to know. So if I'm at a store, I can point to a shirt and ask 이거 입어 봐도 돼요? That's super useful. Lucas: Exactly. And the salesperson might say '네, 입어 보세요' which means 'Yes, please try it on.' Now, where do you try it on? Luna: In the fitting room! How do I ask where it is? Lucas: You can say '탈의실이 어디예요?' That means 'Where is the fitting room?' Listen: 탈의실이 어디예요? Luna: 탈의실이 어디예요? 탈의실... that's a new word for me. 탈의실이 어디예요? Lucas: Great! Now once you're in the fitting room and try the clothes on, you might want to check the size. You can ask '사이즈가 맞아요?' meaning 'Does it fit?' Say it with me: 사이즈가 맞아요? Luna: 사이즈가 맞아요? Wait, what if it doesn't fit? How do I ask for a different size? Lucas: Good question! You can say '한 치수 더 큰 거 있어요?' That's 'Do you have a bigger size?' Listen: 한 치수 더 큰 거 있어요? Luna: 한 치수 더 큰 거 있어요? So if it's too small, I ask for one size bigger. What if it's too big? '한 치수 더 작은 거'? Lucas: Exactly! '한 치수 더 작은 거 있어요?' for a smaller size. You're catching on quickly. Luna: Awesome. Let me practice all of them together. '이거 입어 봐도 돼요? 탈의실이 어디예요? 사이즈가 맞아요? 한 치수 더 큰 거 있어요?' How was that? Lucas: That was fantastic! You sound like you're ready for a shopping trip. Luna: Thanks! Now, what if I want to say 'This is pretty' when I find something I like? Lucas: Good addition. You can say '이거 예뻐요.' Simple and sweet. 이거 예뻐요. Luna: 이거 예뻐요. I'll definitely use that one. Lucas: Let's do a quick role-play. I'll be the salesperson, you are the customer. You pick up a jacket. Luna: Okay. 이거 입어 봐도 돼요? Lucas: 네, 탈의실은 저쪽에 있어요. Luna: 감사합니다. 사이즈가 맞아요. 근데 한 치수 더 큰 거 있어요? Lucas: 네, 여기 있어요. 입어 보세요. Luna: 이거 예뻐요. 좋아요! Lucas: Perfect! You did great. Luna: Yay!
