Mozhe li (може ли)

This means ‘may I have’ and is what you use when you’d like to buy something so it’s invaluable. It’s also nice and polite, not as blunt as iskam (искам) which is ‘I want’. You just have to say mozhe li followed by whatever it is that you’re requesting (you’ll have to sort the article/gender out though – or you could just point), tag a mola (моля) on the end as a thank you and you’ve got a sentence going. You just need to hope that the shopkeeper isn’t wowed enough by your amazing fluency to try and start a conversation.
