Dialogue 1. At the shopping mall in Myeong-dong

Sales Person 어서 오세요. 뭐 찾으시는 거 있으세요? [Eoseo oseyo. Mwo chajeusineun geo isseuseyo?] Hello. Are you looking for something in particular? Wi Wi 아니요, 그냥 구경 좀 하려고요. [Aniyo, geunyang gugyeong jom haryeogoyo.] No, I am just looking around. Sales Person 네, 그럼 부담 없이 편하게 둘러보세요. [Ne, geureom budam eopsi pyeonhage duleoboseyo.] Okay, then take your time. Wi Wi 감사합니다. 리리, 명동은 백화점보다 더 싼 것 같아. [Gamsahamnida. Riri, myeongdongeun baekhwajeomboda deo ssan geot gata.] Thank you. Ri Ri, it seems that things in Myeong-dong are cheaper than in department stores. Ri Ri 맞아. 물건들이 백화점과 비교하면 많이 싸. 하지만 사고 나면 교환과 환불이 좀 어려워. [Maja. Mulgeondeuri baekhwajeomgwa bigyohamyeon mani ssa. Hajiman sago namyeon gyohwangwa hwanburi jom eoryeowo.] You're right. Items are much cheaper when compared to the ones in the department stores. But it's hard to make exchanges or get refunds. Wi Wi 그래? [Geurae?] Really? Ri Ri 교환은 가능한데 환불은 안 해주는 곳도 많아. [Gyohwaneun ganeunghande hwanbureun an haejuneun gotdo mana.] You can make exchanges but there are a lot of places that do not give refunds. Wi Wi 그렇구나! 그럼 정말 잘 살펴보고 골라야겠다. [Geureokuna! Geureom jeongmal jal salpyeobogo gollayagetda.] Oh, I see! Then I really should take a good look at the items when I shop. Ri Ri 그런데 그냥 구경만 하려니 좀 서운하네. 바지 하나 살까? [Geureonde geunyang gugyeongman haryeoni jom seounhane. Baji hana salkka?] But I feel sorry just browsing. Should I buy some pants? Wi Wi 안 돼, 너 지난주에 백화점에서 샀잖아. 오늘은 그냥 구경만 하자. [An dwae, neo jinanjue baekhwajeomeseo satjana. Oneureun geunyang gugyeongman haja.] No, you shouldn't. You bought one at the department store last week. Let's just look around today. Ri Ri 티셔츠에 어울리는 바지 하나 사고 싶었는데 아쉽지만 알았어. 오늘은 구경만 하자. [Tisyeocheue eoullineun baji hana sago sipeonneunde aswipjiman arasseo. Oneureun gugyeongman haja.] I wanted to buy some pants that go well with my T-shirt, but oh well, I got it. Let's just look today.

Sales Person 남성용을 찾으세요? 여성용을 찾으세요? [Namseongyongeul chajeuseyo? Yeoseongyongeul chajeuseyo?] For men or for women? Ri Ri 제가 쓰려고 하는데요. 좋은 제품 있으면 추천해 주세요. [Jega sseuryeogo haneundeyo. Joeun jepum isseumyeon chucheonhae juseyo.] I'm going to use it. Please recommend a nice product. Sales Person 그럼, 새로 나온 DK제품을 한 번 사용해 보세요. 요즘 젊은 여성들에게 인기가 많은 제품입니다. [Geureom, saero naon dikeijepumeul han beon sayonghae boseyo. Then, why don't you try the new arrival by DK. It's very popular among young women these days. Ri Ri 샘플이 있으면 한 번 사용해 보고 싶은데요. [Saempeuri isseumyeon han beon sayonghae bogo sipeundeyo.] I would like to try it if you have a sample. Sales Person 네, 이쪽에 샘플이 있으니 손에 한 번 발라 보세요. 다른 제품들도 많이 있으니 편하게 사용해 보세요.

How much is it? Sales Person 이 제품은 신상품이라 다른 것들보다 조금 비쌉니다. 35,000원이에요. [I jepumeun sinsangpumira dareun geotdeulboda jogeum bissamnida. Sammanocheonwonieyo.] This is a new item , so it's a little bit more expensive than the other products. It's 35,000 won. Ri Ri 정말 비싸네요. 제가 다른 물건을 사야 해서 돈이 좀 모자라는데 깎아 주시면 안 되나요? [Jeongmal bissaneyo. Jega dareun mulgeoneul saya haeseo doni jom mojaraneunde kkakka jusimyeon an doenayo?] It's really expensive. I need to buy other things too and I'm short of money. Can you give me a discount? Sales Person 저희는 정찰제라서 깎아 드릴 수가 없습니다. 대신 샘플을 많이 드릴게요. [Jeohuineun jeongchaljeraseo kkakka deuril suga eopseumnida. Daesin saempeureul mani deurilgeyo.] We can't give a discount because we have a fixed price system. Instead, I'll give a lot of samples. Ri Ri 네, 알겠습니다. 그럼 샘플을 많이 주세요. [Ne, algesseumnida. Geureom saempeureul mani juseyo.] Okay, I understand. Then please give me a lot of samples
