Conversation 1
| A | 我想試下呢兩件衫呀。 ngo5 soeng2 si3 haa5 ni1 loeng5 gin6 saam1 aa3. I want to have a try of these two tops. |
| B | 我幫你拎住個袋吖，試身室喺嗰邊呀。 ngo5 bong1 nei5 ling1 zyu6 go3 doi2 aa1, si3 san1 sat1 hai2 go2 bin6 aa3. Let me hold the bag for you. The fitting room is on that side. |
| A | 唔該晒。 m4 goi1 saai3. Thank you so much. |
A few moments later… | |
| A | 你覺得呢件衫點呀？ nei5 gok3 dak1 ni1 gin6 saam1 dim2 aa3? What do you think about this top? |
| B | 你着得好好睇呀，同埋呢隻色幾靚呀。 nei5 zoek3 dak1 hou2 hou2 tai2 aa3, tung4 maai4 ni1 zek3 sik1 gei2 leng3 aa3. You wear it very “nice-looking-ly”. And this color is quite beautiful. |
| A | 我試埋另外嗰件先。 ngo5 si3 maai4 ling6 ngoi6 go2 gin6 sin1. I will try that other one as well first. |
| B | 好呀。 hou2 aa3. Good. [= Okay.] |
A few moments later… | |
| A | 你覺得呢件定上一件好啲呀？ nei5 gok3 dak1 ni1 gin6 ding6 soeng6 jat1 gin6 hou2 di1 aa3? Do you think this one or the last one is better? |
| B | 我覺得上一件好過呢件，呢件麻麻哋，啲cutting好似有少少怪噉呀。 ngo5 gok3 dak1 soeng6 jat1 gin6 hou2 gwo3 ni1 gin6, ni1 gin6 maa4 maa2 dei2, di1 kat1 ting4 hou2 ci5 jau5 siu2 siu2 gwaai3 gam2 aa3. I think the last one is better than this one. This one is so-so. The cut seems a little bit strange. |
| A | 噉就買上一件啦，我換返衫先。 gam2 zau6 maai5 soeng6 jat1 gin6 laa1, ngo5 wun6 faan1 saam1 sin1. Then, let me buy the last one. I will change back [my] clothes first. |
| B | 好呀。 hou2 aa3. Good. [= Okay.] |
Conversation 2
| A | 我想試下呢件T恤呀。 ngo5 soeng2 si3 haa5 ni1 gin6 ti1 seot1 aa3. I want to have a try of this T-shirt. |
| B | 好呀，噉我哋去試身室啦。 hou2 aa3, gam2 ngo5 dei6 heoi3 si3 san1 sat1 laa1. Good. [= Sure.] Then, let’s go to the fitting room. |
A few moments later… | |
| A | 你覺得點呀？ nei5 gok3 dak1 dim2 aa3? What do you think? |
| B | 啲cutting好好呀，但係隻色好似唔係好襯你噉呀。 di1 kat1 ting4 hou2 hou2 aa3, daan6 hai6 zek3 sik1 hou2 ci5 m4 hai6 hou2 can3 nei5 gam2 aa3. The cut is very good, but it seems that the color doesn’t match you very much. |
| A | 你可唔可以拎埋另外啲色俾我試下呀？ nei5 ho2 m4 ho2 ji5 ling1 maai4 ling6 ngoi6 di1 sik1 bei2 ngo5 si3 haa5 aa3? Can you take the other colors to me to have a try as well? |
| B | 好呀，你試緊咩碼呀？ hou2 aa3, nei5 si3 gan2 me1 maa5 aa3? Good. [= Sure.] What size are you trying? |
| A | 我試緊細碼呀。 ngo5 si3 gan2 sai3 maa5 aa3. I am trying small size. |
A few moments later… | |
| B | 嗱，呢個款仲有橙色同紫色，你試下吖。 naa4, ni1 go3 fun2 zung6 jau5 caang2 sik1 tung4 zi2 sik1, nei5 si3 haa5 aa1. Here you go. This design has orange and purple in addition. Have a try. |
| A | 唔該晒。 m4 goi1 saai3. Thank you so much. |
A few moments later… | |
| A | 你覺得橙色點呀？ nei5 gok3 dak1 caang2 sik1 dim2 aa3? What do you think about orange? |
| B | 橙色好似有啲核突噉呀。 caang2 sik1 hou2 ci5 jau5 di1 wat6 dat6 gam2 aa3. Orange seems a bit ugly. |
| A | 噉我試埋紫色先。 gam2 ngo5 si3 maai4 zi2 sik1 sin1. Then, I will try purple as well first. |
A few moments later… | |
| A | 紫色呢？你覺得點呀？ zi2 sik1 ne1? nei5 gok3 dak1 dim2 aa3? How about purple? What do you think? |
| B | 紫色都好似有少少怪噉，我覺得全部色都麻麻哋呀。 zi2 sik1 dou1 hou2 ci5 jau5 siu2 siu2 gwaai3 gam2, ngo5 gok3 dak1 cyun4 bou6 sik1 dou1 maa4 maa2 dei2 aa3. Purple seems a little bit strange too. I think all colors are so-so. |
| A | 係囉，全部色都好似唔係幾靚噉呀。 hai6 lo1, cyun4 bou6 sik1 dou1 hou2 ci5 m4 hai6 gei2 leng3 gam2 aa3. Yes, all colors seem not quite beautiful. |
| B | 不如睇下另外啲款吖。 bat1 jyu4 tai2 haa5 ling6 ngoi6 di1 fun2 aa1. Why don’t we have a look at other designs? |
| A | 好呀，我換返衫先。 hou2 aa3, ngo5 wun6 faan1 saam1 sin1. Good. [= Okay.] I will change back [my] clothes first. |
Conversation 3
| A | 噉就試呢三條啦。 gam2 zau6 si3 ni1 saam1 tiu4 laa1. Then, let me try these three. |
| B | 好呀，試身室喺嗰邊呀。 hou2 aa3, si3 san1 sat1 hai2 go2 bin6 aa3. Good. [= Okay.] The fitting room is on that side. |
A few moments later… | |
| A | 呢個size啱啱好，好舒服呀。你覺得呢條點呀？ ni1 go3 saai1 si2 ngaam1 ngaam1 hou2, hou2 syu1 fuk6 aa3. nei5 gok3 dak1 ni1 tiu4 dim2 aa3? This size is just right. It is very comfortable. What do you think about this one? |
| B | 幾好睇呀，同埋隻色好靚呀。 gei2 hou2 tai2 aa3, tung4 maai4 zek3 sik1 hou2 leng3 aa3. It is quite nice-looking. And the color is very beautiful. |
| A | 係囉，隻色好靚呀。我試下藍色嗰條先。 hai6 lo1, zek3 sik1 hou2 leng3 aa3. ngo5 si3 haa5 laam4 sik1 go2 tiu4 sin1. Yes, the color is very beautiful. I will have a try of the blue one first. |
| B | 好呀。 hou2 aa3. Good. [= Okay.] |
A few moments later… | |
| A | 你覺得藍色呢條點呀？ nei5 gok3 dak1 laam4 sik1 ni1 tiu4 dim2 aa3? What do you think about this blue one? |
| B | 嘩，你着得好好睇呀，同埋啲cutting好好呀。 waa3, nei5 zoek3 dak1 hou2 hou2 tai2 aa3, tung4 maai4 di1 kat1 ting4 hou2 hou2 aa3. Wow, you wear it very “nice-looking-ly”. And the cut is very good. |
| A | 係囉，啲cutting好好呀，不過呢條好似有少少窄噉呀。我試埋最後嗰條先。 hai6 lo1, di1 kat1 ting4 hou2 hou2 aa3, bat1 gwo3 ni1 tiu4 hou2 ci5 jau5 siu2 siu2 zaak3 gam2 aa3. ngo5 si3 maai4 zeoi3 hau6 go2 tiu4 sin1. Yes, the cut is very good, but this one seems a little bit tight. I will try the last one as well first. |
| B | 好呀。 hou2 aa3. Good. [= Okay.] |
A few moments later… | |
| A | 你覺得最後呢條點呀？ nei5 gok3 dak1 zeoi3 hau6 ni1 tiu4 dim2 aa3? What do you think about this last one? |
| B | 誒……呢條好似唔係幾啱你噉，同埋隻色好似有少少核突噉呀。 e6…… ni1 tiu4 hou2 ci5 m4 hai6 gei2 ngaam1 nei5 gam2, tung4 maai4 zek3 sik1 hou2 ci5 jau5 siu2 siu2 wat6 dat6 gam2 aa3. Hm… It seems that this one doesn’t quite suit you. And the color seems a little bit ugly. |
| A | 我都覺得呢條麻麻哋呀，噉你覺得第一條定藍色嗰條好啲呀？ ngo5 dou1 gok3 dak1 ni1 tiu4 maa4 maa2 dei2 aa3, gam2 nei5 gok3 dak1 dai6 jat1 tiu4 ding6 laam4 sik1 go2 tiu4 hou2 di1 aa3? I think this one is so-so too. Then, do you think the first one or that blue one is better? |
| B | 我覺得兩條都好靚呀，不如兩條都買晒啦。 ngo5 gok3 dak1 loeng5 tiu4 dou1 hou2 leng3 aa3, bat1 jyu4 loeng5 tiu4 dou1 maai5 saai3 laa1. I think both are very beautiful. Why don’t you buy both? |
| A | 我都想呀，不過冇錢呀。 ngo5 dou1 soeng2 aa3, bat1 gwo3 mou5 cin2 aa3. I want to too, but I don’t have money. |
| B | 噉不如買藍色嗰條啦，我覺得藍色嗰條特別過第一條呀。 gam2 bat1 jyu4 maai5 laam4 sik1 go2 tiu4 laa1, ngo5 gok3 dak1 laam4 sik1 go2 tiu4 dak6 bit6 gwo3 dai6 jat1 tiu4 aa3. Then, why don’t you buy that blue one? I think that blue one is more special than the first one. |
| A | 噉就買藍色嗰條啦，我換返衫先。 gam2 zau6 maai5 laam4 sik1 go2 tiu4 laa1, ngo5 wun6 faan1 saam1 sin1. Then, let me buy that blue one. I will change back [my] clothes first. |
| B | 好呀。 hou2 aa3. Good. [= Okay.] |
Activity 2
Form a pair. Each of you will go to an online clothing store and choose three items of the same type (e.g., three tops, three coats). In turn, show your items to your partner. Imagine you are trying on the items one by one in a store. Ask your partner for their comments on each item. Then, compare the items and decide which one to buy.
