Grammar

"무슨 색이에요?" 与颜色 + 名词

Explanation

问颜色说 "무슨 색이에요?"（什么颜色？）。"무슨" 在名词前意为 "什么样的/哪个"——和第17课的 "무슨 요일이에요?" 一样。"뭐" 是没有名词单独用的 "什么"，所以不适合放在 색 前。回答："빨간색이에요"、"파란색이에요"。用颜色描述衣服时把颜色放在名词前——这时去掉 "-색" 用短形：빨간 티셔츠（红T恤）、파란 바지（蓝裤子）。韩语修饰语总是在名词前。说英语的人常在名词前也用 "뭐"——"뭐 색이에요?" ✗ → "무슨 색이에요?" ✓。

Examples

이 티셔츠는 무슨 색이에요? 这件T恤是什么颜色？
빨간색이에요. 是红色。
저는 파란 바지를 사고 싶어요. 我想买蓝裤子。
이 신발은 무슨 사이즈예요? 这双鞋是什么尺码？

Culture

시장과 마트, 그리고 "깎아 주세요" 市场与超市，以及 "깎아 주세요"

在韩国买东西的地方大致有两类。一类是充满人情味（정）的传统市场，另一类是价格固定的超市和便利店。看你在哪里买，可以讨价还价，也可以直接付款。

传统市场

Traditional markets like Namdaemun or Gwangjang Market pile up fruit, vegetables, clothes and dishware in mountains. Prices are usually cheaper than the mart, and the goods are fresh. A shop 아주머니 (auntie) may say "this is tasty, try one" and toss in an extra for free. This little bit extra — 덤 — and the warmth that passes back and forth are the charm of the traditional market.

超市与便利店

At big marts like E-Mart or Lotte Mart, and the convenience stores (GS25, CU, etc.) on every corner, prices are fixed. Here you do not haggle — you pay the tagged price as is. Convenience stores are open 24 hours and are very handy for quick items like triangle gimbap, instant noodles or coffee. You can pay easily by card, cash, or these days even by phone.

"请便宜点"

At a traditional market you can knock the price down a little. "깎아 주세요" means "please bring the price down a bit". But not by much — no one turns a 10,000-won item into 5,000. Usually if you buy several or become a regular, they throw in a 덤 or shave a little off. At marts or convenience stores there is no haggling, so remember that "깎아 주세요" is only for the market.

总之：想讨价还价、拿添头（덤）、感受人情味就去传统市场；想快速方便就去超市或便利店。两边都会享受，在韩国买东西会有趣得多。购物愉快！
