Language/Russian/Vocabulary/At-the-Store
In this lesson you will know how to buy things in russian stores, how to ask the price and also you will learn names of some common goods in a shop.
Let's get started! 😀
If you are in a big store you have no need to ask price from the seller. You can just pay for all at the store's checkout. You don’t need either to know russian numbers. The seller just show you the cost of the entire purchase on the device and you pay.
However, in a small shops you need to know something to make shopping. First of all, you must know what are the items called in Russian.
Grocery Store[edit | edit source]
I don't know exactly what will you buy, but the common food products are:
| English | Russian | Russian (transliteration) |
|---|---|---|
| bread | хлеб | khlep |
| water | вода́ | wa'da |
| milk | молоко́ | mala'ko |
| juice | сок | sok |
| meal | мя́со | 'mjasa |
| chicken | ку́рица | 'kuritsa |
| eggs | яйца́ | 'jaytsa |

| sugar | са́хар | 'sakhar |
| pepper | пе́рец | 'perets |
| chocolate | шокола́д | shaka'lat |
| cheese | сыр | cyir |

Examples[edit | edit source]
Now you can ask seller to give you (for example) some water:
- Give me a water, please - 'Dayte po'jaluysta 'vodu.
Where 'dayte - give me; po'jaluysta - please, 'vodu - Accusative case of water.
- Give me a chicken, please - 'Dayte po'jaluysta 'kuritsu.
Where 'dayte - give me; po'jaluysta - please, 'kuritsu - Accusative case of 'kuritsa (chicken).
In other sentenses with these words no need to change anything:
- Give me some bread, please - 'Dayte po'jaluysta khlep.
- Give me some milk, please - 'Dayte po'jaluysta mala'ko.
And so on. Hope it was helpful!
See you again!
