POPULAR PASTIMES FLEA MARKETS

Haggling in Chinese Of course, one perk about visiting this kind of market is the opportunity to haggle. Here are a few handy phrases to have in your arsenal: * To get a seller’s attention, say: laoban ( 老闆 ; Hey, Boss)! * To ask the price of an item, say: zhègè duoshao qián ( 這個多少錢 ; How much is this)? If * you want the seller to lower the price, say: you y dian guì ( 有一點貴 ; It’s a little expensive.) / piányí y dian, hao bù hao ( 便宜一點,好不好 ) (Can you make it a little cheaper)? And if looking to buy more than one item, try: mai lianggè key dazhé ma? * ( 買兩個可以打折嗎 ) (If I buy two, can I get a discount)?
