Chinese Clothes Shopping Phrases

For clothes shopping, “这件” and “试穿” are essential. Clothes often use the measure word 件.

Swap in larger, smaller, black, and white to practice variations.

Do not default to 个 for clothes. Use 一件衣服 and 这件.

In a clothing shop, the most useful question is “可以试穿吗？” If you mean a specific item, say “这件可以试穿吗？”

Clothes often use the measure word “件”, so “这件多少钱？” is more specific than “这个多少钱？”

If the size is wrong, say “有大一点的吗？” or “有小一点的吗？” The “一点” makes the request sound natural.

You can combine color and size: “有黑色大一点的吗？” This kind of combined request is common in real shopping.

To try something on, ask “试衣间在哪儿？”. For a different style or color, ask “有别的颜色吗？” or “有别的款式吗？”.

At small markets or wholesale clothing markets you can often bargain (“可以便宜一点吗？”); in malls and brand stores prices are fixed. Payment is usually QR scan or card.

You: 你好，这件可以试穿吗？ Staff: 可以，试衣间在那边. You: 有大一点的吗？ Staff: 有，这是 L 码. You: 有别的颜色吗？ Staff: 有黑色和白色. You: 这件多少钱？ Staff: 一百八. You: 可以便宜一点吗？ Staff: 一百五. You: 好，我买这件.

Listen once, then repeat line by line. Swap “大一点” for “小一点”, “黑色” for “蓝色” or “红色”, and the price for what you hear, to cover most clothes shopping.

In clothing stores, beginners need three groups of sentences: asking for your size, asking to try something on, and politely declining. Asking the price is not enough because staff quickly ask about size and color.

PandaKiko includes one refusal step: “我再看看，谢谢.” This matters because it lets you end a sales exchange politely instead of continuing only because you did not understand.

Minute one is only for the core lines: “可以试穿吗？”、“试衣间在哪儿？”、“有大一点的吗？”. Do not add new vocabulary yet; first make sure you can read the characters aloud and turn the English meaning back into Mandarin.

Minutes two to four change one real variable: place, quantity, time, person, or preference. In the final minute, close the page and say the idea with your own details. PandaKiko treats this guide as learned only when you can turn “可以试穿吗？” into your own sentence.
