Anahtar kalıp Can you knock off a bit? (Amerikan İngilizcesi: Can you knock off a little?)
Is there a size up?
Excuse me? I'm in the changing room. This jumper in a medium is much too small. Could you bring me a size up, please?
Thank you! Oh no. Now it's a large, and it's so baggy. I look like a green tent with legs. My friend Burak says, "Baggy is the style now." He's wearing a jumper that is three sizes too big, so he's not a good judge.
Does the colour suit me, though? Burak says it suits me. Burak also says he can run a marathon. I'll ask the assistant instead. No, don't worry, I'll take the large, and I'll wear it with big boots. Then I'll look like a green tent with big boots.

Four pairs of socks
Ben, come here! There's a clearance rack at the back of the shop. Look, these trainers are reduced from eighty pounds to forty-five.
The regular price is crazy, but forty-five is fine. And they're in my size! Even better, all the socks are on offer. The sign says "two for one". I only need one pair, but it's a bargain, so I'm taking two.
What, you want some as well? OK, that makes four pairs of socks. At the till, the lady tells me the trainers have another ten per cent off today. I came here for a water bottle. I'm leaving with trainers, four pairs of socks and a huge smile. No water bottle, though.

Jake, come here! There's a clearance rack at the back of the store. Look, these sneakers are marked down from eighty dollars to forty-five.
The regular price is crazy, but forty-five is fine. And they're in my size! Even better, all the socks are on sale. The sign says "buy one get one free". I only need one pair, but it's a bargain, so I'm taking two.
What, you want some too? Okay, that makes four pairs of socks. At the register, the lady tells me the sneakers are another ten percent off today. I came here for a water bottle. I'm leaving with sneakers, four pairs of socks and a huge smile. No water bottle, though.
That's a rip-off!
Amy, look at the menu. A cup of tea is five pounds! That's a bit pricey, even for Bath. We're sitting right next to the Abbey, so I think we're paying for the view.
Honestly, it's a rip-off. And the sandwiches are so overpriced. Nine pounds for cheese and bread? My nan makes that for free. Dinner in a place like this is completely out of my price range.
Let's walk down that little side street. Look, there's a café with a blackboard: soup and a roll, four pounds fifty. Now that is good value. We can even see the Abbey from the corner. A tiny corner, but still.

Amy, look at the menu. A cup of tea is six dollars! That's a bit pricey, even for Boston. We're sitting right next to the harbor, so I think we're paying for the view.
Honestly, it's a rip-off. And the sandwiches are so overpriced. Twelve dollars for cheese and bread? My grandma makes that for free. Dinner in a place like this is totally out of my price range.
Let's walk down that little side street. Look, there's a café with a chalkboard: soup and a roll, five dollars. Now that's a good deal. We can even see the harbor from the corner. A tiny corner, but still.
Market maths
I had to save up for this camera for three months. It's a beautiful old film camera, and the man at the market stall wants sixty pounds.
"A bit much," I say. I know people haggle here, so I smile and ask, "Can you knock off ten pounds?" He laughs, thinks, and says fifty-two. We shake hands.
Then I go to the camera shop for film. It's expensive, but it's cheaper with their loyalty card, and the price on the shelf already includes VAT. So I stock up on ten rolls. The total is eighty-one pounds. The camera was the cheap part.

Then I go to the camera store for film. It's expensive, but it's cheaper with their rewards card, and the price tag never includes sales tax. So I stock up on ten rolls. The total is eighty-one dollars, plus tax. The camera was the cheap part.
