자주 하는 실수

• ✗이거 얼마 있어요?
  ✓이거 얼마예요?

  To ask a price, use 얼마예요? not 얼마 있어요? which would mean 'do you have some?'

• ✗만원 이에요
  ✓만 원이에요

  만 원 is written with a space; 이에요 is the copula (no extra space needed before it)

• ✗비싸요 너무
  ✓너무 비싸요

  In Korean, adverbs come before the adjective they modify: 너무 (too) + 비싸요 (expensive)

• ✗현금으로 내요 드릴게요
  ✓현금으로 낼게요

  Use 낼게요 (I will pay) as a single polite intention form, not 내요 드릴게요

• ✗거스름돈이 주세요
  ✓거스름돈 주세요

  Simple requests with 주세요 do not require a particle before 주세요
