Entering a Store

When we enter a store, the shop assistant will sometimes welcome us.

客 haak3

Welcome. Have a look as you like.

The shop assistant will sometimes check if we need any help too.

What do you want to find?

Do I need to introduce something to you?

[= Can I help you find something?]

The verb particle 返 faan1 here indicates that the action 介紹 gaai3 siu6 (‘to introduce’) is good for us as we can get information about the products.

Is there anything that I am able to help you with?

If we want to browse around on our own, we can say:

We have a look ourselves is okay. Thank you so much.

If we want them to show us a type of product, we can say:

I want to have a look at the coats, please.

This way, please.

If we want to know where a section is, we can say:

For the coats, where have you put them?

For the coats, we have put them on that side.
