🌼 Welcome to a Friendly Korean Check-In!
In Korean, when you want to ask the price of something politely, you say:

얼마예요 — Eolma-yeyo
It’s simple, polite, and super useful — like saying
“How much is it?” in English. 💬💰


🧠 Let’s Break It Down
얼마 (eolma) = how much
예요 (yeyo) = is (polite ending)

Put them together and it means:
“How much is it?”
Perfect for shopping, markets, cafés, or anywhere money comes up.


🗣️ How to Say It
Pronunciation: [eol-ma-ye-yo]

Say it smoothly in gentle beats:

eol | ma | ye | yo 🎵

Tip:

  • Keep “예요 (yeyo)” soft and polite
  • Don’t rush — a calm tone sounds friendly and natural 😊
