Skip to 0 minutes and 15 secondsProf Ahn: Today we are studying how to buy something at a clothes store. First we are going to learn how to ask about the price. I'll start. How much is this T-shirt?

Skip to 0 minutes and 34 secondsJoel: It’s 30,000 won. Please try it on.

Skip to 0 minutes and 38 secondsProf Ahn: Yes. "Eolmayeyo?" is used when asking for the price. If you want to ask the price of a T-shirt, you should say "i tisyeocheu eolmayeyo?" and if you want to ask about the price of a skirt, it’s "i chima eolmayeyo?". When asked this question, the employees will tell you the price followed by "______ won-ieyo.". They will also tell you to try the clothes on, to see if it suits you and fits well. In that case they’ll say "hanbeon ibeoboseyo". So, shall we practice a bit more with other words? This time, you two, try to do it on your own.

Please follow the instructions with the educator.

‘얼마예요?’ is used when asking for the price. If you want to ask the price of a t-shirt, you should say “이 티셔츠 얼마에요?” and If you want to ask about the price of a skirt, it’s ‘이 치마 얼마에요?’.

When asked this question, the employees will tell you the price followed by ‘__원 이에요.’. They will also tell you to try the clothes on, to see if it suits you and fits well. In that case they’ll say ‘한번 입어 보세요’.
