By Can (original WordPress byline: dimitri2012) ·
Dear all,
Good evening. Today, i’ll like to share with you how to buy things.
すみません.
Su-mi-ma-sen / Excuse Me
これ/それ/あれ を ___________ ください
kore / sore / are o ________ kudasai — Give me _________ of this/that/that thing over there (far from you and the listener)
- ひとつ: hi-to-tsu / one
- ふたつ: fu-ta-tsu / two
- みっつ: mi-ttsu / three
- よっつ: yo-ttsu / four
Example
これ を よっつ ください。
kore o yottsu kudasai / Give me 4 of this
それ を みっつ ください。
sore o mittsu kudasai / Give me 3 of that
For different items, there are different counters. For now, you can use the above first. We will learn more later. (^_^)
Usually Japanese will take the calculator and show you how much you need to pay. LOL.
