      A few natural, useful phrases for the card—plus pronunciation-friendly romanization:

      • 이거 있어요? (igeo isseoyo?) — Do you have this?
      • 이 제품 어디 있어요? (i jepum eodi isseoyo?) — Where is this product?
      • 민감성 피부용 있나요? (mingamseong pibuyong innayo?) — Do you have one for sensitive skin?
      • 테스터 써봐도 돼요? (teseuteo sseobwado dwaeyo?) — May I try the tester?
      • 이거 말고 다른 색상 있어요? (igeo malgo dareun saeksang isseoyo?) — Do you have another shade?
      • 선물 포장 가능해요? (seonmul pojang ganeunghaeyo?) — Can you gift-wrap it?

      For pointing at a saved photo or product, 이거(“this one”) is handy. A polite​저기요 (jeogiyo, “excuse me”) gets someone’s attention; 감사합니다 (gamsahamnida) is a safe thank-you. And if a product name is tricky, showing the photo is often easier than trying to pronounce it. Store wording and English support vary, so keep the card simple and easy to show on your phone.
