【Culture】Shopping Shopping is an important part of the culture and a way of life in Taiwan. People love to go to the night markets (夜市/yèshì), supermarkets (超市/chāoshì) and the department stores (百貨公司/bǎihuò gōngsī). When you go shopping at the night market, the most important sentence you can learn is “Could it be cheaper？” (可以便宜一點嗎？/ Keyǐ piányí… 更多 yi diǎn ma?)? Most vendors will agree to give you bargain prices! Enjoy your shopping in Taiwan with other useful sentences like "How much is that altogether?" (一共多少錢？/Yígòng duōshǎo qián?), "Do you take credit cards?" (可以刷卡嗎？/Kěyǐ shuākǎ ma?), and "May I try it on?" (可以試穿嗎？/Kěyǐ shì chuān ma?) Not enough? Visit the Taiwan Academy website to learn more!
