이거 얼마예요How Much Is This

Hey there. I'm Bella. Welcome back.

안녕하세요. 저는 벨라예요. 다시 오신 걸 환영해요.

And I'm Leo. Let's get started.

그리고 저는 레오예요. 시작해 볼까요.

Okay, Bella, I have to show you something today.

자 벨라, 오늘 꼭 보여드릴 게 있어요.

Oh? You walked in looking very proud. What is it?

어? 아주 뿌듯한 얼굴로 들어오셨네요. 뭔데요?

This jacket. Mustard yellow. I bought it myself last weekend.

이 재킷이요. 머스터드 노란색. 지난 주말에 제가 직접 샀어요.

It's a great color. Where did you find it?

색이 정말 예쁘네요. 어디서 찾으셨어요?

At a little shop near the station. And here's the big thing.

역 근처 작은 가게에서요. 그런데 중요한 건 따로 있어요.

I bought it in English. All by myself.

이걸 영어로 샀거든요. 완전히 혼자서요.

Wait, really? You? Tell me everything.

잠깐, 진짜요? 레오가요? 다 얘기해 봐요.

So today, let's talk about shopping. Asking prices, buying clothes.

그래서 오늘은 쇼핑 얘기를 해봐요. 가격 묻기, 옷 사기요.

Yes, let's. But first, I need the whole story.

네, 좋아요. 그런데 먼저 그 이야기 전부 들어야겠어요.

So I saw this jacket on a rack by the door.

그러니까 문 옆 옷걸이에 걸린 이 재킷을 봤어요.

And you wanted it right away?

그리고 바로 갖고 싶었군요?

I did. But I had no idea how much it cost.

그랬죠. 그런데 얼마인지 전혀 몰랐어요.

So you had to ask the price. That's the scary part for a lot of people.

그럼 가격을 물어봐야 했네요. 많은 사람한테 그게 제일 무서운 부분이에요.

It is. My heart was beating. But I held it up and I asked.

맞아요. 심장이 막 뛰었어요. 그래도 재킷을 들고 물어봤죠.

And what exactly did you say?

그래서 정확히 뭐라고 했어요?

I said, How much this?

How much this? 라고 했어요.

Oh, Leo. So close. The seller understood you, right?

오, 레오. 정말 아까워요. 판매자는 알아들었죠?

They did. They told me the price and I paid.

알아들었어요. 가격을 알려줘서 값을 냈죠.

Good. But there's one tiny word missing. Can you hear it?

잘했어요. 그런데 작은 단어 하나가 빠졌어요. 들려요?

A missing word. Hmm. How much this. What did I drop?

빠진 단어라. 음. How much this. 제가 뭘 빠뜨렸죠?

How much IS this. You need the little word is.

How much IS this. is라는 작은 단어가 필요해요.

How much is this. Ohh. That one small word.

How much is this. 아. 그 작은 단어 하나요.

Right. How much is this. That's the full, natural question.

맞아요. How much is this. 이게 완전하고 자연스러운 질문이에요.

How much is this. It flows better. I can hear it now.

How much is this. 더 매끄럽네요. 이제 들려요.

And you point at the thing while you say it.

그리고 말하면서 그 물건을 가리켜요.

So I hold up the jacket and say, How much is this?

그럼 재킷을 들고 How much is this? 라고 하면 되네요.

Perfect. That's the whole question. Nothing more.

완벽해요. 그게 질문 전부예요. 그 이상은 없어요.

Now stand up for a second. Let me look at that jacket.

이제 잠깐 일어나 봐요. 그 재킷 좀 볼게요.

Sure. Why? Does it look bad?

그럼요. 왜요? 이상해 보여요?

It looks good. But the shoulders are a bit tight. See?

좋아 보여요. 그런데 어깨가 좀 끼네요. 보이죠?

Oh. You're right. The sleeves are a little short too.

오. 맞네요. 소매도 살짝 짧아요.

So it doesn't quite fit. Did you try it on in the shop?

그러니까 딱 맞진 않네요. 가게에서 입어는 봤어요?

No. I was too nervous. I just paid and left.

아뇨. 너무 긴장해서요. 그냥 돈만 내고 나왔어요.

Ah. Try it on. Try it on means put it on to check the fit.

아. try it on. try it on은 맞는지 보려고 입어본다는 뜻이에요.

Next time, before you buy, you ask this. Do you have a bigger size?

다음엔 사기 전에 이렇게 물어봐요. Do you have a bigger size?

Do you have a bigger size. So I ask for more room.

Do you have a bigger size. 그러니까 더 넉넉한 걸 달라는 거네요.

Right. Bigger for more room, smaller for less.

맞아요. 넉넉하면 bigger, 작으면 smaller예요.

Do you have a bigger size. That feels easy to say.

Do you have a bigger size. 말하기 쉬운 느낌이에요.

It is. And you can swap the last word. Do you have another color?

쉬워요. 그리고 마지막 단어를 바꿀 수도 있어요. Do you have another color?

Do you have another color. Same start, new ending.

Do you have another color. 시작은 같고, 끝만 새롭네요.

Yes. Do you have a bigger size. Do you have another color.

네. Do you have a bigger size. Do you have another color.

One little question, and it does so much work.

작은 질문 하나가 이렇게 많은 일을 하네요.

And notice the word size ends in a soft s sound. Sizes.

그리고 size가 부드러운 s 소리로 끝나는 거 보세요. Sizes.

You mean when there's more than one? Sizes, with an s?

하나보다 많을 때요? sizes, s 붙여서요?

Exactly. One size, two sizes. One color, two colors.

맞아요. 사이즈 하나, 사이즈 둘. 색 하나, 색 둘.

Shirts, jackets, shoes. Those s sounds are everywhere in a shop.

셔츠, 재킷, 신발. 그 s 소리가 가게 안에 널려 있네요.

They are. Small sounds, but they matter.

그래요. 작은 소리지만, 중요하죠.

Okay. So next time I check the size and the color first.

좋아요. 그럼 다음엔 사이즈랑 색을 먼저 확인할게요.

Right. And when it fits and you like the price?

맞아요. 그리고 맞고 가격도 마음에 들면요?

Hmm. This is where I always freeze.

음. 여기서 제가 늘 얼어붙어요.

Here it is. Three little words. I'll take it.

이거예요. 작은 단어 세 개. I'll take it.

I'll take it. That means I've decided to buy it.

I'll take it. 이걸 사기로 정했다는 뜻이죠.

Exactly. No long speech. You just say, I'll take it.

맞아요. 긴 말 필요 없어요. 그냥 I'll take it이라고 해요.

I'll take it. So short. So confident.

I'll take it. 정말 짧네요. 정말 당당하고요.

And one more useful thing. Sometimes a sign says on sale.

그리고 하나 더 유용한 거요. 가끔 on sale이라고 쓰인 표시가 있어요.

On sale. In Korea we borrow that word for a discount, right?

On sale. 한국에서는 할인이라는 뜻으로 그 말을 빌려 쓰죠?

Right. In English, on sale means there's a discount. It's cheaper.

맞아요. 영어에서 on sale은 할인 중이라는 뜻이에요. 더 싸다는 거죠.

Good to know. On sale. I'll watch for that word.

알아두면 좋겠네요. On sale. 그 단어를 눈여겨볼게요.

Let's put it all together. Pretend I'm the seller.

전부 합쳐 볼까요. 제가 판매자라고 생각하고요.

Okay. How much is this?

좋아요. How much is this?

It's forty dollars. But today it's on sale.

40달러예요. 그런데 오늘은 할인 중이에요.

Do you have a bigger size?

Do you have a bigger size?

Yes, here you go. Try it on.

네, 여기 있어요. 입어 보세요.

It fits. Great. I'll take it.

맞네요. 좋아요. I'll take it.

See? You just shopped. Start to finish, in English.

봤죠? 방금 쇼핑한 거예요. 처음부터 끝까지, 영어로요.

That was smooth. I didn't freeze once.

매끄러웠어요. 한 번도 안 얼어붙었네요.

Because you had the words ready. Price, size, decide.

단어를 미리 준비해 뒀으니까요. 가격, 사이즈, 결정.

Let me say the three phrases one more time.

세 표현을 한 번만 더 말해 볼게요.

Go ahead. Walk me through it.

해봐요. 저한테 차근차근 짚어 줘요.

First, I hold it up. How much is this?

먼저, 물건을 들어요. How much is this?

Then you check the fit or the color.

그다음 맞는지랑 색을 확인해요.

Do you have a bigger size? Or, do you have another color?

Do you have a bigger size? 아니면, do you have another color?

And when you're happy?

그리고 마음에 들면요?

I'll take it. Three words, and I'm done.

I'll take it. 단어 세 개면, 끝이에요.

And here's the funny part. Now I want to go shopping too.

그리고 재미있는 건요. 이제 저도 쇼핑하러 가고 싶어졌어요.

Wait. You're teaching me, and now you want to try?

잠깐. 저를 가르치던 분이, 이제 직접 해보고 싶다고요?

I do. Watching you makes it feel possible.

네. 레오를 보니까 할 수 있을 것 같아요.

So here's a small challenge for everyone at home.

자, 집에 계신 여러분을 위한 작은 챌린지예요.

Pick one thing near you. A cup, a book, a pen.

가까이 있는 물건 하나를 골라요. 컵, 책, 펜 같은 거요.

Hold it up and ask out loud. How much is this?

그걸 들고 소리 내어 물어봐요. How much is this?

Then finish the sale. Say, I'll take it.

그리고 거래를 마무리해요. I'll take it이라고 말해요.

Tell us in the comments. What would you buy today?

댓글로 알려 주세요. 오늘이라면 뭘 사시겠어요?

And Leo, that jacket really does look good on you.

그리고 레오, 그 재킷 정말 잘 어울려요.

Tight shoulders and all. Next time, I'll try it on first.

어깨가 좀 껴도요. 다음엔 먼저 입어볼게요.

We'll see you next time.

다음에 또 만나요.

Keep going. You're doing great.

계속해요. 정말 잘하고 있어요.

Bye-bye.

안녕히 계세요.
