Shopping in Korea?
Whether you're exploring street markets,
boutiques, or food stalls,
this simple phrase will be your best friend!


 

The phrase "이거 얼마예요?"
(ee-geo eol-ma-ye-yo?)

 
means "How much is this?" in Korean.
It’s a lifesaver
when you want to know the price of something.
Here’s how it breaks down:
 

이거 (ee-geo): This

얼마 (eol-ma): How much

예요 (ye-yo): Is it

 
You can use it by pointing at an item and saying,
(ee-geo eol-ma-ye-yo?)
Pair it with a smile,
and most locals will be happy to assist you!
 


In many shops, calculators are handy.
If you don’t catch the answer in Korean,
vendors often show the price on a calculator.
 


Haggling is common in traditional markets,
but in department stores or big chains,
prices are usually fixed.
 


Next time you’re in Korea,
don’t hesitate to try this phrase.
It’s simple, effective,
and will make your shopping experience
so much smoother!
