In a lively market, a shopper navigates the stalls using basic phrases to communicate.
She points to some 梨 (pears | lí) and asks, “这些多少钱？ (How much are these? | zhèxiē duōshǎo qián？)”.
Then she sees 新鲜 (fresh | xīnxiān) 西红柿 (tomatoes | xīhóngshì) and asks, “这些是哪里种的？ (Where are these grown? | zhèxiē shì nǎlǐ zhòng de？)”.
Bargaining, she says, “我可以便宜一点买吗？ (Can I buy this for a cheaper price? | wǒ kěyǐ piányi yìdiǎn mǎi ma？)”.
She goes on to admire the 菠菜 (spinach | bōcài) and 胡萝卜 (carrots | húluóbo) and adds them to her basket, skillfully navigating the market with her growing vocabulary and confidence in interacting with vendors.
