| Let's practice. |
| Imagine you're Sasha Morris, and you're at the grocery store. Get the shopkeeper's attention, and ask if they have sugar. |
| Ready? |
| 저기요, 설탕 있어요? (Jeo-gi-yo, seol-tang iss-eo-yo?) |
| 네, 여기 있어요. (Ne, yeo-gi iss-eo-yo.) |
| Listen again and repeat. |
| 저기요, 설탕 있어요? (Jeo-gi-yo, seol-tang iss-eo-yo?) |
| 저기요, 설탕 있어요? (Jeo-gi-yo, seol-tang iss-eo-yo?) |
| Let's try another. |
| Imagine that you're looking for the apples. Ask if they have any. |
| Ready? |
| 저기요, 사과 있어요? (Jeo-gi-yo, sa-gwa iss-eo-yo?) |
| 네, 여기 있어요. (Ne, yeo-gi iss-eo-yo.) |
| Listen again and repeat. |
| 저기요, 사과 있어요? (Jeo-gi-yo, sa-gwa iss-eo-yo?) |
| 저기요, 사과 있어요? (Jeo-gi-yo, sa-gwa iss-eo-yo?) |
| Let's try one more. |
| Imagine you're Mark Morris and you're at the grocery store to buy milk. |
| Ready? |
| 저기요, 우유 있어요? (Jeo-gi-yo, u-yu iss-eo-yo?) |
| 네, 여기 있어요. (Ne, yeo-gi iss-eo-yo.) |
| Listen again and repeat. |
| 저기요, 우유 있어요? (Jeo-gi-yo, u-yu iss-eo-yo?) |
| 저기요, 우유 있어요? (Jeo-gi-yo, u-yu iss-eo-yo?) |
| When asking for something, Koreans often use the following adverb: 혹시 (hok-si), meaning "by any chance." |
| 혹시 (hok-si). |
| For example, 혹시 소금 있어요? (Hok-si so-geum iss-eo-yo?) "Do you have salt, by any chance?" |
| 혹시 소금 있어요? (Hok-si so-geum iss-eo-yo?) |
| This adverb could also translate as "Could it be (that)...?", and it's used when making assumptions or speaking of possibilities. |
| This is the end of this lesson. |
| Remember, these Can Do lessons are about learning practical language skills. |
