Phase 3 • Module 3.2

Survival Skills

Learn to navigate a Chinese market. Bargaining is an art—and a sport!

这个多少钱? (zhè ge duō shao qián)

You: How much is this?

二十块。(èr shí kuài)

Merchant: 20 yuan.

太贵了, 十块可以吗? (tài guì le...)

You: Too expensive, is 10 okay?

好的。(hǎo de)

Merchant: Okay.

Example: 洗手间在哪里? (Where is the bathroom?)

Bargain with the merchant. Say: "Too expensive!"
