Shopping English sentences: Prices, sizes and payments
Price, size, bill aur payment ke baare mein English mein poochhein. Dukaan par kaam aane waale words aur Hindi meanings ke saath practice karein.
What you will practice
Aap kisi item ki price aur size poochhkar payment aur receipt ki baat simple English mein kar paayenge.
Kapde khareedte waqt size, sabzi lete waqt quantity aur payment karte waqt amount saaf bolna kaam aata hai. Is guide mein dukaan aur supermarket, dono ke liye phrases hain.
UPI India mein jaana-pehchaana naam hai. English sentence mein bhi aap UPI hi keh sakte/sakti hain; har payment method ka naya naam banaane ki zaroorat nahi.
Price aur quantity alag poochhein
'Price' kisi cheez ki keemat hai. Ek item ki price poochhne ke liye 'How much is this?' bolein. Sab cheezon ki total price ke liye 'How much is it altogether?' poochhein.
Kapdon mein 'size' aur 'fit' alag baatein hain. Size label par likha number ya letter hai; fit se pata chalta hai ki kapda pehenne par theek aa raha hai ya nahi.
Payment ke baad sahi sawaal poochhein
'Bill' batata hai ki kitna paisa dena hai. 'Receipt' payment milne ka saboot hoti hai. Kuch jagahon par ek hi document dono kaam karta hai; payment ke baad receipt maangna ek saaf request hai.
'Change' cash payment ke baad lautaya gaya bacha paisa ho sakta hai. Product badalna ho to 'exchange' aur paisa waapas maangna ho to 'refund' use karein. Shop ki policy poochhein; har jagah exchange ya refund milna zaroori nahi.

Common mistakes and corrections
Instead of

Say this
How much does this bag cost?

Instead of

Say this

Pehla sentence samajh aa sakta hai. Shop par khareedi cheez ke badle doosri lene ke liye 'exchange' zyada saaf hai; 'would like' request ko polite banata hai.
Instead of
These shoe fits me.
Say this
These shoes fit me.
Do jooton ke liye 'shoes' plural hai. 'These shoes' ke saath verb 'fit' use karein.
