15 must-know phrases to go shopping
how much is it how much is it when you
ask
how much something is you are asking for
the price
so if you are in america and you say how
much is it
someone will say it is ten
dollars it is a thousand dollars it is a
million dollars
um so you are going to use this phrase
a lot when you go shopping especially at
flea markets when the prices aren't
always listed
on the object or item themselves
do you have this in another color do you
have this
in another color a lot of times when you
go
clothing shopping for example you will
try something on and you'll like how you
look
but you kind of want the shirt to be
not green but maybe red red would look
better
so you ask the person who's working
there excuse me
do you have this in another color
do you have this in another color it's a
way of asking
literally if the item of the clothing
that you
are trying on or anything that you want
to buy
you're asking if there are other
variations of it
if there are other colors of that item
do you have this in a medium do you
have this in a medium instead of medium
you can put in whatever your size is
so when you're shopping you might find a
dress that you really like
you might find a jacket or a coat you
really like
and you're not really seeing your size
you're looking through all of them and
your size isn't here so you ask someone
who's working
excuse me do you have this in a medium
excuse me do you have this in an extra
small
i use this all the time when i'm
shopping so i'm sure you will too
it's a way of asking if they have your
size
i want two of these i want
two of these if you tell someone i want
two of these it's literally saying i
want
two of whatever it is you want to buy
that's all i could say about that
may i see it may i see it
if you ask may i see it it's usually
asking to see something that is behind
glass
so for example if you are looking to buy
jewelry
you go to a jewelry store and you see a
beautiful ring
and it's behind glass so you ask the
person working there
may i see this ring may i see it
and the person will pull it out and give
it to you for you to try on
in front of them so they know you're not
going to steal it
can i try it on can i try it on
if you're ever shopping if you're
looking for a new
sweater or a new pair of jeans
you're going to want to try it on to
make sure that it fits you
that it looks good that it's your size
so if you find an article of clothing
you would go up to someone who works
there and you would ask
can i try this on excuse me can i try
this on
this is a very very common thing that
you hear in clothing stores
people always want to try on the
clothing that they want to buy just to
make sure that it fits
and it makes them look good i like that
one
i like that one i like that one
if you say i like that one it means
you're expressing
which of your options you prefer it's
probably going to be the one thing you
buy
i don't like this color i don't like
this color
if you're buying a new set of plates
and you're shopping and you you like the
style
of these plates but you don't like the
color
you would say i don't like this color
do you have this in a different color i
just taught you that
do you remember i don't like this
color it means that you like the style
maybe
but you don't like the color that it's
painted or
dyed or whatever i love this color
i love this color maybe you have a color
of shirt that you look so good in so
anytime you see it you go oh i
love this color if you ever say i love
this color
it's probably something that either
looks really good
on you or just looks really good to you
it's a color that you just love to look
at
do you take returns do you take returns
when you ask someone who works in a
store do you take returns
it means that you bought something from
the store
you brought it home and you decided you
don't really like it
maybe when you were at the store you
didn't have time to try it on
so when you got home you put it on in
front of the mirror and you realize
this does not look good on me or maybe
it doesn't
fit so when you come back you'd say
do you take returns i want to return
this pair of these these jeans that i
bought
i want to return this hat do you take
returns
every store you go to will have a
different return policy
so it's always smart to ask what sort of
return policy that store has
just in case you end up not liking the
item that you buy
do you take credit cards do you
accept credit cards can i pay with a
credit card
these are all ways to ask if you can use
your credit card
to pay for whatever purchase you are
making
sometimes stores or restaurants
only accept cash and it's always smart
to know
ahead of time before you do all your
shopping
and then realize you don't have any cash
and you only have a credit card
so you can say do you take credit card
do you accept credit cards can i pay
with my credit card
can i get a receipt please can i get a
receipt please
can i get my receipt please so i know
you didn't scam me
a receipt is a proof of purchase
it's it's something that you use to keep
track
of the money you've spent to keep track
of
everything you've bought it's a little
slip of paper that shows the item
and how much you paid this is something
that helps both
you and the company the company will
have a record of having sold this thing
to you and you will have this as a
record of how much you paid
and if you save the receipt you can use
that to do
returns can i use this coupon
can i use this coupon a coupon
is a discount that a company offers to
use at their store
a coupon is something that you have to
show to the cashier
when you make your purchase so if you
find
a nice coat that you love you would go
and pay for it and present your coupon
if you have a coupon it means that you
are getting
a discount that you will have to pay
less money for the item
coupons are great to have and companies
that give out coupons
are awesome it helps you save money
could you gift wrap it please could you
gift wrap it please to gift wrap
something means to put
wrapping paper and make it look like a
present
so around the holidays when people are
buying presents for one another
a lot of times you will hear people
saying
could you gift rabbit please which is
telling the other person
look this is going to be a gift can you
make it look nice
can you make it look like a present and
sometimes that'll mean
gift wrapping paper or putting a nice
bow on top
to gift wrap something means to present
it
to look like a gift are there any sales
going on

very hopeful question to
ask in a store you're asking if there
are
any sales at this time a sale
is a period of time with discounted
price
it means you're going to pay less which
means saving money
there are seasonal sales there are
sales for particular holidays uh
or just random sales to get rid of old
stock
so you never know you should always ask
