In order to shop and bargain effectively in Korea, it's essential to grasp the basics of the Korean currency and numerical system. The South Korean currency is called the "won," with coins and bills denoted in a unique manner. For instance, the ￦10,000 bill is referred to as "만 원" (man won), and the ￦1,000 bill is "천 원" (cheon won).
To understand prices, practicing converting currency and reading price tags is crucial. For instance, "How much is this?" in Korean is "이거 얼마예요? (igo eolmayeyo?)" and "How much does it cost?" is "가격이 어떻게 되나요? (gageogi eotteoke doenayo?)".
Simulating transactions and exchanging money can be accomplished through dialogues, such as "I'd like to exchange dollars to won" which translates to "달러를 원으로 바꾸고 싶어요 (dallereul woneuro bakkugo sipeoyo)" and "I need some change" which is "잔돈이 필요해요 (jandoni pillyohaeyo)" in Korean.
Understanding Korean currency and numbers is not only practical but also helps in navigating through a shopping experience in South Korea.
