Shopping 買い物

買うと売る:shop, store, market, supermarket, money, buy, sell, customer, shop assistant。核心文法は「want to」+ 動詞 — I want to buy this, I want to go to the shop。英語は「want」と次の動詞の間に小さな語「to」を置く。韓国語は願いを動詞に直接付けるので、韓国語話者は「to」をよく落とす:「I want buy this」✗ →「I want to buy this」✓。発音コーナー:shop の「sh」、buy の二重母音、「want to」の弱い「to」。

I want buy or I want to buy? — I want buy? I want to buy?

  1. Emma Minsu, what do you want to buy? ミンス、何を買いたいですか?
  2. Minsu I want buy this bag. このかばんを買いたいです。(間違い: want と動詞の間に「to」→「I want to buy」)
  3. Emma Say "want to": I want to buy this bag. 「want to」と言って:I want to buy this bag。
  4. Minsu Oh, I want to buy this bag. It's nice. あ、このかばんを買いたいです。すてきです。

At the market — 市場で

  1. Minsu Hello. I want to buy some fruit. こんにちは。果物を買いたいです。
  2. Assistant Yes, we sell fruit here. This market is open every day. はい、ここで果物を売っています。この市場は毎日開いています。
  3. Minsu Good. I want to buy some apples and some bread. いいですね。りんごとパンを買いたいです。
  4. Assistant Here you are. Thank you! どうぞ。ありがとうございます!

Saying what you want: "want to" + verb したいことを言う:「want to」+ 動詞

To say what you want to do, use "want" + "to" + a verb: I want to buy this, I want to go to the shop, She wants to sell her car. The small word "to" always sits between "want" and the next verb — never leave it out. (For he / she / it, "want" takes -s: she wants to buy.) Korean joins the wish straight to the verb, so Korean speakers often say "I want buy" — in English you must keep the "to": I want to buy.

したいことを言うとき「want」+「to」+ 動詞:I want to buy this, I want to go to the shop, She wants to sell her car。小さな語「to」はいつも「want」と次の動詞の間にある — 決して省かない。(he / she / it では「want」に -s:she wants to buy。)韓国語は願いを動詞に直接付けるので、韓国語話者は「I want buy」とよく言う — 英語は「to」を必ず残す:I want to buy。

  • I want to buy this bag. このかばんを買いたいです。
  • Do you want to buy some fruit? 果物を買いたいですか?
  • I want to go to the shop. 店に行きたいです。
  • She wants to sell her phone. 彼女は携帯を売りたがっています。
