🇸🇦 Arabic Shopping & Money
Prices, sizes, paying by card or cash — how to buy things without pointing and hoping. Haggling optional. Read them below — then actually say them: recognising a phrase and producing it out loud are different skills, and only one helps you in the moment.

| Too expensive | غالي جدا | ghali jiddan |
| Cheap | رخيص | rakhis |
| Can I try it on? | هل يمكنني تجربته؟ | hal yumkinuni tajribatuh? |
| I'll take it | سآخذه | sa-akhudhuh |
| Just looking, thanks | أنا أتفرج فقط، شكرا | ana atafarraj faqat, shukran |
| Do you have a bigger size? | هل عندكم مقاس أكبر؟ | hal 'indakum maqas akbar? |
| A smaller size | مقاس أصغر | maqas asghar |

How to make these stick
- Say each phrase out loud three times — your mouth learns separately from your eyes.
- Rehearse the scene: imagine the café or the street corner and act out both sides.
- Then use them in a real conversation — Yap gives you a 30-second spoken role-play with an AI tutor that responds, corrects gently, and never judges.
