It’s getting cold here! And obviously two suitcases didn’t suffice in the whole it’s below zero degrees department, so I’ve been in dire need of some shopping. Just in case you ever need to indulge in a shopping spree, here are some terms to help ya out!
Sizes:
Korean: 스몰
Korean pronunciation: suh mol
English meaning: Small
Korean: 미디엄
Korean pronunciation: mi di awm
English meaning: Medium
Korean: 라지
Korean pronunciation: ra ji
English meaning: Large
To ask how much something is:
Korean: 얼마예요
Korean pronunciation: ol ma ye yo
English meaning: How much is it?
The best saying, especially on the streets and in the markets:
Korean: 각아주세요
Korean pronunciation: ggak ka ju se yo
English meaning: Please give me a discount.
If you say this, correctly that is, first they will be amazed and second they will give you the discount, just on the principle that you spoke their language. Needless to say, its quite useful!
And if you're lucky, you'll get service-ee, otherwise known as freebees!
