Jelang Nyepi sering terjadi 'Kalap Belanja' buat persiapan Nyepi, nah lhoooo Nyepi bukannya puasa, ini malah puas puasin :D
Kali ini BEC (baca: be easy) memberi beberapa istilah bahasa Inggris tentang shopping, simak yah kompilasi twitter dari @jagobhsinggris berikut ini:
browse = melihat-lihat tanpa membeli. Contoh: "During my vacation, I went to the mall and browsed through the shops."
window-shop = melihat barang dari kaca etalase (tanpa membelinya). Contoh: "On nice days I like to do window-shop on Robson Street."
head somewhere = pergi ke suatu tempat. Contoh: "Let's head to the mall after we finish class."
loot = koleksi barang-barang berharga. Contoh: "I got a lot of good loot for Christmas."
ring up = mencatat jumlah belanjaan ke mesin di kasir. Contoh: "I'll call you back, the cashier is ringing up my purchase at the moment."
rip-off = produk/layanan yang terlalu mahal. Cth: "When I took a taxi from the airport, it was a rip-off. Rp 500.000 is way too expensive."
shoplift = mencuri barang dari toko. Cth: "The man was arrested for shoplifting when the jewelry store employee found a ring in his pocket."
slash prices = mengurangi harga secara besar-besaran. Contoh: "They slashed the prices by 50%"
sweeten the deal = menambahkan sesuatu pada penawaran agar terdengar lebih menarik.Contoh: "If you buy this notebook, I'll give you a cooling pad to sweeten the deal."
swipe = mencuri. Contoh: "I didn't have any money, so I swiped a chocolate bar from the store."
tag = label harga. Contoh: "I can't find the tag, can you tell me how much this costs?"
take it or leave it = ambil atau tolak sesuatu. Contoh:"The only car left is pink. Take it or leave it."
throw something in = menambah barang secara cuma-cuma. Contoh: "If you buy this notebook, I'll throw a cooling pad in for free."
till = kasir/tempat pembayaran barang. Contoh: "I hate waiting in a long line at the till to buy something."
