Groceries & the Market

Excuse me, where are the vegetables?

Use 'Scusi' to politely get a shop worker's attention.

Where is the bread?

How much does this cost?

How much is it?

A very common, short way to ask the total price.

A kilo of tomatoes, please.

I'll take a few apples.

Use 'qualche' for a vague small amount, but it is always followed by a singular noun.

Where do I weigh the fruit?

In supermarkets, you often weigh produce yourself; at a street market, the vendor does it.

That's all, thank you.

Use this when the vendor asks 'Altro?' (Anything else?).

Do you have a bag?

You will usually be charged a few cents for a plastic or paper bag.

I pay with a card.
