Shopping Review: The Complete Experience
Welcome to the ultimate Italian shopping roleplay! When you shop in Italy, a polite interaction is key to a great experience.
1. Greeting and Asking for Help
Start with a polite greeting. Shop assistants will usually ask: "Posso aiutarla?" (Can I help you? - formal).
- Mi dica! – Tell me! (How can I help you?)
- Sto solo guardando, grazie. – I'm just looking, thanks.
2. Trying Things On
To find your size or try something on, use these essential phrases:
- Avete la taglia M? – Do you have size M?
- Posso provarlo? – Can I try it on? (for masculine items)
3. Asking the Price and Paying
Always check the price before you buy, and choose how to pay:
- Quanto costa? – How much does it cost?
- Posso pagare con la carta? – Can I pay by card?
Common Mistake: Mixing up formal La and informal tu. In shops, always use the formal Lei form (e.g., Posso aiutarla?).
