Clothes shopping

입어 봐도 돼요? — the universal fitting-room sentence.

Korean staff hover helpfully. 이거 입어 봐도 돼요? (can I try this on?) opens everything. Sizes: 90/95/100 or S/M/L.

Fit words: 좀 커요 (a bit big), 좀 작아요 (a bit small), 딱 맞아요 (fits perfectly). One more size: 한 사이즈 큰 거 있어요?

Paying: 계산해 주세요 works everywhere. Card taps dominate; cash needs 현금영수증 (tax receipt) if you want one.
