Self Study Japanese Lesson 5: Buying things part 3 — point cards
By Can (original WordPress byline: dimitri2012) ·
Dear all,
Good evening. Continuation from lesson 4, today i will share more about buying things.
Sometimes if you buy medicine, electronics, the person at the counter will ask you if you have a loyalty card or something. It’s always good to make a loyalty card if you plan to always buy electronics at the same place. You will get some discount (8-10% of points that you can use to offset your next purchase). Example would be LABI or Yodobashi Camera.
ポイントカードがお持ちですか
poin-to kaa-do ga o-mo-chi-de-su ka / Do you have a point card
いいえ、ないです
iie, nai desu / No
はい、もっています
hai, motte imasu / Yes
If you don’t have a point card, usually the person will ask you if you want to apply for a point card (usually it’s free)
ポイントカードを作りますか
poin-to kaa-do o tsu-ku-ri-ma-su ka / Do you want to apply for one?
つくりましょうか
tsu-ku-ri-ma-shou ka / Do you want to apply for one?
はい、おねがいします
hai, o-ne-gai-shi-masu / Yes, please
Usually, you can put in your hotel address. If unsure, ask the shop employee. =)
This will really help to bring savings if you buy lots of electronics.
