Finding the right size
Here are some of the words and phrases you may hear or say while searching for your right size:
Razmehr (ruhz-m’ehr; size)
Ya noshu razmyer . . . (ya nah-shoo ruhz-m’ehr; I wear size . . .)
Eto moj razmyer. (eh-tuh mohy ruhz-m’ehr; This is my size.)
Kakoj vash/u vas razmyer? (kuh-kohy vahsh/oo vahs ruhz-m’ehr?; What’s your size?)
Trying on clothing
Before you decide you want to nosit’ (nah-seet; wear) something, you probably want to try it on first. To ask to try something on, you say Mozhno pomyerit’? (mohzh-nuh pah-m’eh-reet’?; May I try this on?). You’ll most likely hear Da, pozhalujsta (dah, pah-zhah-luh-stuh; Yes, please).
When you try something on, and it fits you well, you say Eto khorosho sidit (eh-tuh khuh-rah-shoh see-deet; It fits). If it doesn’t fit, you say Eto plohkho sidit (eh-tuh ploh-khuh see-deet; It doesn’t fit). Here are some other adjectives you may use to describe the clothes you’re considering buying:
khoroshyj (khah-roh-shihy; good)
plokhoj (plah-khohy; bad)
bol’shoj (bahl’-shohy; big)
malyenkij (mah-leen’-keey; small)
dlinnyj (dlee-nihy; long)
korotkij (kah-roht-keey; short)
