Shopping New clothesI like that jacket, where did you get it? Mi piace quella giacca, dove l'hai presa?I really like that jacket. Mi piace molto quella giacca.How much did you pay for that jacket? Quanto hai speso per quella giacca?They've got a sale on at the moment so the jacket was reduced from £55 to £30. Adesso ci sono i saldi, quindi hanno abbassato il prezzo della giacca da £55 a £30.What a bargain! Che affare!How long is the sale on for? Per quanto tempo ci saranno i saldi?I think the sales are on until the end of the month. Credo che i saldi durino fino alla fine del mese.There always seems to be a sale on these days. Ultimamente sembra che ci siano sempre i saldi.I'll pop in and have a look next time I'm at the shopping centre. Passo a dare un'occhiata la prossima volta che sono al centro commerciale.They've got some really nice stuff in that shop. Hanno della roba veramente carina in quel negozio.
