Prices and paying Harga dan membayar
Menanyakan harga dan membayar: price, dollar, cent, expensive, cheap, how much, pay, cash, card. Tata bahasa inti adalah "How much is …?" untuk satu benda dan "How much are …?" untuk lebih dari satu — bahasa Inggris mengubah kata kerja untuk tunggal dan jamak. Bahasa Korea tak mengubah kata kerja menurut jumlah, jadi penutur Korea sering menyimpan "is": "How much is these bags?" ✗ → "How much are these bags?" ✓. Sudut pengucapan: "dollar", bunyi "ch" pada cheap, dan tekanan pada expensive.
Dialogue
is or are? — is atau are?
- Emma Minsu, do you want to buy these bags? Minsu, mau beli tas-tas ini?
- Minsu Yes. How much is these bags? Ya. Tas-tas ini berapa? (slip: these bags jamak — pakai "are" → "How much are these bags?")
- Emma "These bags" is plural — use "are": How much are these bags? "These bags" jamak — pakai "are": How much are these bags?
- Minsu How much are these bags? Tas-tas ini berapa?
Dialogue
At the shop — Di toko

- Assistant It's fifteen dollars. Lima belas dolar.
- Minsu That's cheap. I want to pay by card. Murah. Saya ingin membayar dengan kartu.
- Assistant Sure. Here you are. Tentu. Ini dia.

Grammar
"How much is …?" and "How much are …?" "How much is …?" dan "How much are …?"
To ask a price, say "How much" + is / are + the thing. Use IS for one thing: How much is this bag? — It's ten dollars. Use ARE for two or more: How much are these apples? — They're four dollars. The verb must match: one → is, many → are. It is the same rule as "this is / these are". To answer, use a price with "dollars": It's five dollars. To say how you pay: I want to pay by card / with cash. Korean keeps one form of the verb for any number, so watch the plural — with "these bags" you must say ARE, not is.
Untuk menanyakan harga, ucapkan "How much" + is / are + benda. Pakai IS untuk satu benda: How much is this bag? — It's ten dollars. Pakai ARE untuk dua atau lebih: How much are these apples? — They're four dollars. Kata kerja harus cocok: satu → is, banyak → are. Aturan sama dengan "this is / these are". Jawab dengan harga memakai "dollars": It's five dollars. Katakan cara membayar: I want to pay by card / with cash. Bahasa Korea memakai satu bentuk kata kerja untuk jumlah apa pun, jadi perhatikan jamak — dengan "these bags" harus ARE, bukan is.
- How much is this? — It's ten dollars. Ini berapa? — Sepuluh dolar.
- How much are these apples? — They're four dollars. Apel-apel ini berapa? — Empat dolar.
