Ask a price in Korean: “이거 얼마예요?”

Practice a price question, a request for another size, and a useful line for browsing without buying immediately.

Ask for help while shopping

Shopping gives you a clear reason to speak: you want to know a price, find a different size, or ask where an item is. Start with “이거 얼마예요?” (igeo eolmayeyo), meaning “How much is this?”

Make “this” clear

이거 refers to something near you. Point gently to the item or show it to the staff so they know which product you mean. If a price label is visible, read it first and use the question when you need clarification.

Ask for a different size

“다른 사이즈 있어요?” (dareun saijeu isseoyo) means “Do you have another size?” 있어요 can ask whether something is available. You can add a gesture or the size you need, especially if you are still learning the numbers and labels.

The Olive Young video below focuses on a particular shopping setting. Not every phrase applies to every shop, but the question-and-answer rhythm is useful practice. Listen once for meaning and again for a reply you can reuse.

It is okay to browse

“그냥 구경하고 있어요.” (geunyang gugyeonghago isseoyo) means “I’m just looking.” Say it with a friendly tone if a staff member offers help and you do not need it yet. You can still ask another question later.

Your small shopping mission

Choose one object around you. Ask its price, then ask about another size or version. Write the exchange as two or three lines in the community. You do not need to invent a perfect sales conversation; one useful question is enough for today.
