Shopping

1. આ કેટલામાં છે?

   Aa ke-taa-maan chhe?

   How much is this?

   Usage

   The most basic phrase for asking the price

   Grammar Note

   "Ketlaamaan" combines "ketlaa" (how much) + locative "-maan". A Gujarati-specific way to ask prices.

2. સસ્તું આપો

   Sas-tun aa-po

   Please give a lower price

   Usage

   Bargaining for a lower price

   Grammar Note

   "Sastun" (cheap) is the neuter form. Shares etymology with Hindi "sasta". Gujarati traditionally excels at business and bargaining.

3. ખૂબ મોંઘું છે

   Khub mong-hun chhe

   It is too expensive

   Usage

   Expressing that the price is too high

   Grammar Note

   "Monghun" (expensive) is neuter in Gujarati, equivalent to Hindi "mahangaa". Gujarati merchants are known for their bargaining skills.

4. આ મારે જોઈએ છે

   Aa maa-re jo-ie chhe

   I want this

   Usage

   Expressing intent to purchase an item

   Grammar Note

   Gujarati expresses "I want X" with the dative construction "maare X joie chhe" (to me X is needed).

5. બીજો રંગ છે?

   Bi-jo rang chhe?

   Is there another color?

   Usage

   Asking for the item in a different color

   Grammar Note

   "Bijo" is the masculine form of "another/second" in Gujarati. "Rang" (color) is masculine, so "bijo" is used.

6. પરંપરાગત પોશાક ક્યાં મળશે?

   Pa-ram-pa-raa-gat po-shaak kyaan mal-she?

   Where can I find traditional dress?

   Usage

   Gujarat's handicrafts (bandhani tie-dye, mirror embroidery) are famous across India. "Kyaan malashe?" (Where will it be found?) is a common pattern.

7. ક્રેડિટ કાર્ડ ચાલે છે?

   Credit card chaa-le chhe?

   Is credit card accepted?

   Usage

   Checking if credit card payment is accepted

   Grammar Note

   "Chaale chhe" means "runs/works/is accepted". A flexible phrase for checking if something is functional or acceptable.

8. બજાર ક્યારે ખૂલે છે?

   Ba-zaar kyaa-re khu-le chhe?

   When does the market open?

   Usage

   Asking about market opening hours

9. આ ખૂબ સરસ છે

   Aa khub sa-ras chhe

   This is very wonderful

   Usage

    "Pahonchaadsho" is the polite future of "to deliver"; a standard way to ask for delivery.

11. મારે બિલ નથી જોઈતું

    Maa-re bill na-thi jo-i-tun

    I don't need a receipt

    Usage

    Declining a receipt when it is offered at the till

    Grammar Note

    "Joīe / joītuṃ" agrees with the thing wanted. "Bil" is neuter, so it matches the default form already used in "maare nathi joītuṃ".
